This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- 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.

- 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.
