The headline-dominating highlight of the recent Omens of Tyranny update for Helldivers 2 was the arrival of the long-awaited Illuminate faction, with developer GSC Game World shadow dropping the Democracy-hating squiddies during The Game Awards and kicking off a brutal invasion of Calypso (against all odds, we managed to repelled it). As fantastic as the Illuminate is, though, I'd also like to bring attention to one of the patch's other additions — one that has rapidly become one of my favorite stratagems in the entire game, and also an S-tier pick to use in both Automaton and base defense missions.
The stratagem I'm referring to is the E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement, a fortification call-in found in the new Urban Legends Premium Warbond (it costs 1,000 Super Credits, or $10 worth) that came alongside the Illuminate's first offensive. You'll need a hefty 110 Warbond Medals to purchase it and you don't even have the option to unlock it until you get through Urban Legends' first two pages, but trust me: it's absolutely worth getting as soon as you can.
