==Strategy Guide==
*The Air Strike is best used to destroy buildings and drain an opponent's materials or remove their cover.
*Its usually best to throw the Air Strike into a window to make sure the grenade lands near the center of your target.
*Air Strikes are especially effective in areas where moving quickly is difficult, notably in city-like POIs.
*The area where the Air Strike's missiles will land is very limited and easy to move out of. Try not to deploy Air Strikes in open areas.
*If your opponent is stuck in an enclosed area, such as in a small valley, throwing an Air Strike down at them can allow you to pick up an easy elimination or get high damage on your opponent.

==Trivia==
*Prior to Chapter 3: Season 2, The Air Strike only existed for less than three weeks in game before being vaulted.
*It is very similar to the Air Strike Gadget in Save the World, except with a throwable item and a larger, and slower explosion period.
*The Air Strike was in development since Season 2, having had multiple iterations since then: a laser rifle, a backpack, and a grenade; which served as the basis for the finalized version.
**When it was a grenade it was an Item.
