Stratagems Codes Guide – Helldivers 2

Below you will find all of the Stratagems Codes in Helldivers 2 in our guide along with additional information on how to use them in the game.

Tip for PC Players: The usual way to input your Strategems is by holding CTRL and using WASD keys. But this stops you from moving, which isn’t great. To fix this, go to the main menu, choose Options, then Mouse and Keyboard, and finally Change Bindings. Look for Stratagems Bindings at the bottom and change them to something easier for you.

Best Stratagems in Helldivers 2

If you want to know the top strategies in the game, keep reading as we guide you through our suggestions.

5 Best Early Game Stratagems

These stratagems will be best if you use them early in a game.

Orbital Precision Strike

This tool is perfect for getting rid of bugs and handling tougher enemies like Chargers. It can be used often during missions because it only takes 100 seconds to recharge.

A/MG-43 Machine Gun Sentry

You can access it at Level 2. In 3 seconds, you get a fast-firing gun turret that swiftly clears big bug or robot swarms on any planet. With a cooldown time of 180 seconds, it’s easy to keep using it, and everyone on your team can set up their own. So, you can have up to 4 machine gun sentries working simultaneously.

B-1 Supply Pack

It’s a good idea to gather 4000 Requisition Slips to buy a supply pack at Level 2. Even if you have the Resupply Stratagem, using up all your ammo quickly is possible if your team destroys everything around.

Eagle Airstrike

It sets off right away when called, with no waiting time. Instead of a straight line, it covers an area with explosions, which can do more harm.

Expendable Anti-Tank

It’s crucial to have an anti-tank weapon against the Chargers. Chargers wear heavy armor, but you can remove it with well-placed explosives, leaving them open to any attack but this is a single-use weapon. You only get one shot!

9 Best Mid-Game and General Stratagems

These stratagems are best if used in-game.

Orbital EMS Strike

After reaching Level 5, you can unlock and use this projectile. It can stun enemies for a short time, making them easier to attack, even the tough ones.

Recoilless Rifle

The item takes longer to use again, and it doesn’t give you two weapons. Instead, it comes with a supply backpack to help you keep shooting!

Gatling Sentry

It’s agile, so it can quickly aim at targets. Some are stronger but move slower and need careful placement.

Eagle Napalm Airstrike

It’s really good for getting rid of lots of bugs and stopping enemies. You can start using it when you reach level 5, and you can shoot it twice. It only takes 15 seconds to be ready to use again.

“Guard Dog Rover”

The “Guard Dog” uses a Laser rifle to protect you from all directions, preventing enemies from getting close.

Autocannon

This tool quickly defeats small bugs. It can also remove armor from big enemies, making them easier to attack.

Mortar Sentry

This device launches shells in an arc to hit enemies, even if they’re behind walls. It’s designed to reduce the risk of hitting allies.

Grenade Launcher

You can get the Grenade Launcher at Level 5. It’s useful for destroying bug holes or defeating a group of Automatons. It’s a good idea to spend your resources on it.

Autocannon Sentry

It shoots fast and aims at everything. Great for taking down big enemies or tanks when there’s more than one coming at you.

5 Best Late-Game Stratagems

These stratagems are best used in late-game sections to maximize their efficiency.

Railgun

You can use it in two ways: Safe and Unsafe. Just charge it, then shoot to deal great damage against robots and insects.

Orbital Laser

It’s good at targeting one spot and doesn’t leave much behind afterward. It can be used quickly, which is great for tactics like the Orbital EMS Strike.

Arc Thrower

The Arc Thrower is great for both Automatons and Terminids. It lets you zap multiple targets from far away with lightning strikes.

Eagle 500KG Bomb

The harm caused is significant, so please inform your team before launching it and ensure they move aside.

Spear

This strategy is the best way to defeat big enemies and those with strong armor. Keep its focus on your target and you’ll easily win against whatever challenge you’re facing.
