All Helldivers 2 Stratagem Codes (Button Inputs)

In Helldivers 2, players are tasked with completing various objectives on procedurally generated planets. This typically involves obliterating enemy aliens scouring the surface, but using your personal arsenal isn’t always the most effective way to turn the tide of battle. Stratagems offer death from above: special powers unleashed from ships orbiting the planet. To deploy them you’ll need to input button sequences quickly, so here we’ve compiled a handy list of all Helldivers 2 Stratagem codes.

Tips for Using Stratagem Codes

• Remember, you cannot change your equipped Stratagem mid-mission. Choose wisely based on the difficulty level and mission objectives.
• Support weapons can spawn as ground loot. Unless you have a preference, you can always pick them up randomly.
• You cannot use weapons while the Stratagem list is open, so plan accordingly.
• For mouse and keyboard players, be aware that inputting Stratagem codes with WASD conflicts with moving your character. Consider rebinding your controls to avoid this issue.

The Helldivers 2 arsenal of stratagems offers a wide range of tactical options for players. By mastering the use of these abilities, you’ll be flattening bugs and cyborgs with ease. Whether you’re providing support, deploying defenses, or calling in devastating airstrikes, nailing the correct button input sequence and knowing the right Stratagem codes makes all the difference.
