How to Use Codes for Stratagems

Stratagems can be a quarter indexed. However, their usage is partially based on cooldowns, so players should plan accordingly. On PS 5, use the L1 button while on PC, hold the Ctrl button. The directional pad or arrow keys must then be used to key in the code if you so wish. The code is displayed on the screen's top left corner for easy access.

 

Using the Right Stratagem for Your Op Mission

Using tier lists and objectives is one of the simpler ways to use a Mission's objectives fully. Some good recommendations include:

Defensive Operations: Ignore the controlled area and focus on deploying Tesla Towers or Automated Cannon Turrets for area control purposes.

Supportive Roles: For increased survivability, use the SH-32 Shield Generator Backpack or LIFT-850 Jump Pack.

Offensive Missions: For taking out the tougher enemies such as the Hulk or Titan armor the Orbital Rail Cannon Strike works well. If crowd control is your aim, Eagle's Cluster Bomb or Orbital Laser is the best choice.

 

Extra Advice

Try different mixes to see which suits your playstyle the most.

Work with teammates so you don't duplicate efforts, and increase productivity.

Be cautious of friendly fire while using gas-attack and napalm-strike-style area-of-effect Stratagems.

 

Your loadout in Helldivers 2 can be adjusted for any obstacle the game puts in front of you by knowing the capabilities and shortcomings of each Stratagem. Whether you are laying down orbital fire or building up, systematically employing these assets will guarantee victory on the battlefield.
