• Reach Level 15 -The Orbital Laser is not accessible to new players. Players must grind and reach Level 15 by completing missions and levelling up their characters. This guarantees that the player has the experience in strategic thinking to use such a powerful stratagem.
• Go to the Stratagem Menu - Once unlocked Level 15, go to the Stratagem menu and locate the Orbital Cannons section here. This section contains all the firepower players can call down from space, including the Orbital Laser.
• Purchase the Orbital Laser - You heard it right. The Orbital Laser is not available for free. Players need to spend 10,000 Requisition Slips to purchase the Orbital Laser. Requisition slips are in-game currency players can earn by completing missions and objectives in Helldivers 2.
• Equip and kill - Once you have purchased the Orbital Laser, equip it within a Stratagem Loadout. Use it in your missions and target the enemy with laser precision. Remember that it can only be charged and utilised 3 times on a particular mission.

How to Use the Orbital Laser in Helldivers 2

The Orbital Laser is a double-edged sword that offers planet melting power, but it should be handled carefully. With limited uses and a lengthy 5-minute cooldown time, players can exhaust their charge earlier than required.

It can be used as a simple call down after entering the correct Stratagem Code. Once a player throws an Orbital Laser on the battlefield, it will start tracking enemies closest to where it starts. It's recommended that players should get away with their squad once the laser starts firing so it misses them in their path.

Is the Eagle 500KG Bomb Better Than the Orbital Laser?

The Eagle 500KG Bomb Offers a row destructive force perfect for wiping out a concentrated area or dealing with massive damage. It also has a faster cooldown time but is less precise and more risky. On the other hand, the Orbital Laser offers surgical precision, efficiently clears large enemy clusters and softens up tough targets. However, users can only use it only 3 times per permission, and it has a longer cool-down time.

If players require precision and strategic advantage the Orbital Laser is best. However, because of its explosive power and faster availability, the Eagle 500KG Bomb is unbeatable.
