- Since Vulcan Shotgun fires 8 projectiles at once, and each projectile has a proc coefficient of 0.75, Captain can make very good use of items such as Tri-Tip DaggerChance to bleed enemies on hit.

Gain 5% critical chance. Critical Strikes bleed enemies for 240% base damage. Bleeding enemies explode on death for 400% (+400% per stack) damage, plus an additional 15% (+15% per stack) of their maximum health., and Shattering JusticeReduce the armor of enemies after repeatedly striking them.

- While aiming the Orbital Probe, picking up ammo boxes dropped by the BandolierChance on kill to drop an ammo pack that resets all skill cooldowns.
18% (+10% per stack) chance on kill to drop an ammo pack that resets all skill cooldowns. will restore 1 charge, allowing the player to use more than 3 per activation. However, the player cannot have more than 3 charges stored.
- Sprinting after activating Orbital Supply Beacon allows the player to exit targeting mode, and sprinting while aiming Orbital Probe puts it on full cooldown even if there are charges left.
- Orbital Supply Beacons can be used to activate the pressure plates on Abandoned Aqueduct.
- Power Tazer or Beacon: Shocking can immobilize one or many enemies at once, allowing Orbital Probe, and more commonly, OGM-72 'DIABLO' Strike to strike stunned enemies that would usually vacate the targeted location, dealing colossal and guaranteed damage.
- OGM-72 'DIABLO' Strike can benefit from CrowbarsDeal bonus damage to enemies above 90% health.
Deal +75% (+75% per stack) damage to enemies above 90% health., although offensive drones may damage enemies enough that the Crowbar no longer deals bonus damage.- It also pairs well with the Bandolier due to its long cooldown.
- OGM-72 'DIABLO' Strike can be used to launch the player incredibly far into the air, at the cost of 90% of the their health. To do this, stand in the center of the impact zone and do not move. Be sure to be over 90% health in order to maintain one-shot protection. The Strike can be used:
- To skip the pillar sequence and go straight to the arena at the top of Commencement; the player should position themself and the impact on top of the roof of the Pillar of Soul island, closest to the arena.
- To reach several different Newt Altars in elevated positions.
- In Hidden Realms, Orbital Probe and Orbital Supply Beacon are not usable, indicated by an unplugged power cord icon and the description "You have lost connection with the UES Safe Travels...". Be sure to plan accordingly in such areas.
- Despite being "orbital" call-ins, both abilities will still function normally in enclosed/roofed-in areas.
Lore
“A rescue mission?” The old man leaned forward, scanning the document slid over his desk. His eyes paused on a collection of words near the bottom: UES Contact Light. “Yes.” He continued to read the document. The Safe Travels? For a rescue mission? As one of the few surviving captains of the old colony ships, he knew all the designations by memory – and the Safe Travels was not a rescue ship. “Any armaments?” “No.” “We’ll have to fix that.” With a sigh, he stood up. His prosthetics tugged at his joints – despite being lighter than his original limbs, they always felt heavy. “And let me guess - top secret, right?” “Yes.” He gave out another sigh – they’re always top secret - but a small smile crept onto his face. He glanced up to his old radio helmet. He’s been bored in retirement anyways.
