EAT-700 at a Glance

How to Use the EAT-700 Effectively

1. Save It for Swarms

This is not a weapon to waste on a single Charger. Use it when you're overwhelmed by huge groups of Terminids. The napalm clusters cover a wide radius, burning everything unlucky enough to be inside.

2. Aim Carefully

Unlike the Recoilless Rifle or Autocannon, the EAT-700 is expendable. You get one shot only—so make it count. Aim at the center of a swarm or near bug tunnels where enemies spawn.

3. Use It on Objectives

Perfect for defending oil rigs or uplink sites. Drop a missile on the path ahead of advancing enemies and let the flames do the holding for you.

4. Beware of Friendly Fire

The burning napalm spreads fast and can roast teammates as easily as bugs. Always warn your squad before pulling the trigger.

If you want to unlock the EAT-700 faster and keep your squad ready for big swarms, it helps to buy Helldivers 2 Samples so you can push through progression quickly and get your hands on this napalm beast without the grind.

Best Situations to Use the EAT-700

• Hive Nests: One missile can wipe out dozens of spawning bugs.
• Defensive Objectives: Burn pathways so swarms can't rush your position.
• Emergency Exits: Clear a path when your squad is cornered.

EAT-700 vs Other Heavy Stratagems

The EAT-700 Expendable Napalm is a panic button and swarm killer rolled into one. It's not a weapon you'll rely on every mission, but when the moment comes—when the bugs flood the field and your squad is on the brink—it can turn a wipe into a victory.

Recap: Unlock through Dust Devils Warbond → Aim at swarms or objectives → Fire once, burn everything → Call out to avoid frying friends.

Top 3 Combos with the EAT-700 Napalm

1. Napalm + G-7 Pineapple

• How it Works: Toss a Pineapple into a swarm first. The cluster frags scatter enemies into a wider area. Immediately follow with the EAT-700 shot to catch all those panicked bugs in flames.
• Why it's Good: Explosions + fire overlap = instant crowd wipe.

2. Napalm + S-11 Speargun Gas

• How it Works: Fire the Speargun into choke points, then land the Napalm missile into the same spot. Gas + fire makes a brutal denial zone that bugs can't push through.
• Why it's Good: Combines lingering DoT effects, perfect for tunnels and objectives.

3. Napalm + AR-2 Coyote

• How it Works: Use the Coyote's incendiary rounds to herd bugs into a line or corridor, then drop the EAT-700 for maximum burn.
• Why it's Good: Sets enemies up for the missile strike and ensures nothing crawls out alive.

✅ Pro Tip: Always call out before firing—Napalm covers a massive area, and friendly fire is just as deadly as bug fire.
