Trying to figure out the inputs for Stratagems in Helldivers 2? Here are all the Helldivers 2 Stratagems codes listed for your convenience
Helldivers 2 is the much-awaited sequel to Arrowhead Game Studios’ original PlayStation game. After a decade of waiting, the game is finally here and Arrowhead has changed the formula quite a bit. The new installment is an online third-person extraction shooter, a major departure from the original’s top-down shoot ’em up style.
That doesn’t mean the game has lost its identity. Fans of the original Helldivers will find several aspects have been carried over to the new game, which includes the fan-favorite Stratagems. They will also discover that Stratagems still require specific codes to be used on the battlefield. So, in this article, we will be outlining all of the Helldivers 2 Stratagems codes you will need to deliver an explosive dose of freedom.
What Are Stratagems in Helldivers 2?
Stratagems are support drops that can be deployed by the player while they are liberating a planet. There are six different categories of Stratagems to choose from: Patriotic Administration Centre, Orbital Cannons, Hanger, Bridge, Engineering Bay, and Robotics Workshop. Each category has unique feature sets. For instance, the Robotics Workshop Stratagems specializes in sentries, whereas the Patriotic Administration Centre Stratagems provides the player with powerful weapons. To unlock Stratagems, the player will need to spend credits which can be earned by simply playing the game.

If you want to use the Stratagems during a mission, you will need to pull up the Strategems menu and input the specific commands corresponding to the ability you want to use in either your keyboard or controller. After that, you can deploy them to a location of your choosing. If you are using a PS5 controller, then you will need to input the codes using the D-pad while holding L1, whereas if you are using a keyboard, then you will need to use the WASD keys while holding Ctrl.
Before we dive into the codes, do note that we have yet to unlock and use all of the Stratagems. So, this article is a work in progress as we will update it once we have figured out the codes ourselves.
