2 Player Raid Tycoon Airstrikes, Bomber & Predator Missile
From rooftop Airstrike Uplink to Rebirth 6 Bomber and Rebirth 7 Predator — spend charges on bunkers, not empty plots.
Strike ladder overview
Offense in 2 Player Raid Tycoon is not only hallway guns. STRAY FRAME layered Airstrikes, Revenge Strike, B2 Bomber, Predator Missile, and EMP on top of the classic power → crack → carry loop (How to Raid).
| Tool | Typical unlock / access | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Airstrike | Charges from codes + Airstrike Uplink (~$2M path into Rebirth 1) | Soften campers before a crack |
| Revenge Strike | After an enemy kills you | Punish the duo that just wiped you |
| B2 Bomber | Bomber Uplink around Rebirth 6 | Carpet pressure on hardened bases / convoy openers |
| Predator Missile | Later Attack Menu; cash launch needs Rebirth 7 style gates + Nuclear Silo requirements on panels | Break bunker shells and hill cover |
| EMP | Attack Menu (B2 patch theme) | Temporarily disable target income |
Always read the live Attack Menu: the September 19 update reworked flow so you select a target first, then choose and launch. Pad text beats any wiki memory.
Airstrike Uplink basics
- Progress rooftop / base unlocks until Airstrike Uplink is owned (commonly paired with the $2M requirement into Rebirth 1).
- Open the uplink / launch board to reach the Attack Menu.
- Pick a rival player / base target.
- Spend a charge (inventory charges also drop from codes such as TY5500, TY4500, VERITY).
- Push the vault while defenses are disrupted — strikes are tempo, not an instant win.
Save charges for:
- Stacked defenders on the vault mouth.
- Roof campers denying power shots.
- Revenge after a stolen bag attempt fails mid-carry.
Do not dump every charge on empty newbie plots while your own belts are idle.
Revenge Strike
Dying to another player can unlock a Revenge prompt with its own purchase / launch path. Mid-September fixes keep a strike saved if the target leaves. Use Revenge when:
- You know which duo cracked you.
- Your partner can re-cover home while you spend the strike.
- You still have a gun loadout ready (Tier List, Loadout Cabinet after Shotgun).
Revenge is emotional — budget it like an Airstrike, not a tantrum button.
B2 Bomber
The B2 Bomber update adds carpet-bomb fantasy on the Attack and Revenge menus after Bomber Uplink (Rebirth 6 band on the unlock table). Patch notes also describe Convoy Raids where bombers soften gates/turrets as armored trucks loop the ring road.
Player habits:
- Unlock Bomber only after Sniper (R1) and Minigun (R3 + cash pad) are online.
- During convoy waves, temporary Miniguns and free strike cooldowns may apply — still keep guards on the Safe.
- Bombers do not replace Auto Collect or laser doors.
Predator Missile
Predator Missile is the late bunker-buster. Panels call out Rebirth gates and Nuclear Silo requirements for cash launches. September 19 reworked controls, clarified those requirements, and added hitmarkers on missile hits. Missiles can blast through Center Hill trees/barriers after bomber-era balance notes.
Spend Predators on:
- Laser-stacked vaults with Legendary guards.
- Campers abusing hill trees.
- Coordinated duo cracks where one partner already cut power.
Skip Predators on AFK empty shells — the recharge / cash cost is the real price.
EMP
EMP temporarily shuts down a target’s income. Use it to freeze a rich neighbor’s treadmill / dropper lead while you contest events or finish a rebirth cash stack. It is harassment and tempo, not a vault crack.
Loadout Cabinet synergy
The September 16 Loadout Cabinet (ground floor after Shotgun; extra slots at Rebirth 1 and 3) lets you respawn with stored guns. Strike plays fail when you return as Pistol-only. Fill Cabinet slots before you commit uplink charges on a bunker.
Codes that feed the strike economy
Active-style bundles often include Airstrike charges:
- TY5500 / TY4500 / VERITY — see Codes Hub for full reward rows.
- Redeem after tutorial, then launch only when a real target exists.
Checklist before launching
- Home Safe covered (walls / laser / guard).
- Partner knows you are spending a charge.
- You have a crack route and bag extract plan.
- Target is worth the charge (bunker, campers, revenge mark).
- Attack Menu shows you meet Rebirth / Silo requirements for that munition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
When do I unlock Airstrike Uplink?
Progress rooftop / base pads until the Airstrike Uplink is owned. It is commonly tied to the Rebirth 1 requirement path (about $2M uplink + $5M cash). Confirm on your pads.
What rebirth is Bomber Uplink?
Bomber Uplink appears around Rebirth 6 on the unlock table. Unlock Sniper and Minigun milestones first.
Why can’t I cash-launch a Predator Missile?
Panels require later Rebirth progress and Nuclear Silo style facilities. The Attack Menu shows the missing gate after the September 19 clarity pass.
Do codes give Airstrikes?
Yes. Bundles like TY5500, TY4500, and VERITY include Airstrike charges. Redeem them in the Store Codes box.
Should I airstrike empty bases?
Usually no. Save charges for contested vaults, roof campers, revenge targets, or convoy / bunker fights.
