Helldivers 2 is quickly becoming one of the games of the year for a reason.<\/p>\n

Despite a bumpy start<\/a> (due in part to its unexpected success), players are currently having an absolute blast on both PS5 and PC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The further you get up the difficulty levels<\/a>, though, the more you\u2019ll need to be strategic. Or perhaps we should say stratagem-gic.<\/p>\n

Stratagems are abilities that you unlock from your Destroyer ship. They supply indispensable support from the ship to your team on the ground, and you\u2019d be silly not to utilise them.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar, fear not. We\u2019ll walk you through how to use them, before listing every Helldivers 2<\/a> stratagem.<\/p>\n

How to use stratagems in Helldivers 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In order to use the stratagems in Helldivers 2, you\u2019ll need to open the list and input the code for the one you want to use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On the PS5 you hold L1, and on the PC you hold left Ctrl. While they\u2019re held down, you input the code. Simple!<\/p>\n

There are six types of stratagems in Helldivers 2:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Patriotic Administration Center<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Orbital Cannons\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Hangar\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Bridge\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Engineering Bay\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Robotics Workshop<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We\u2019ll separate the below list into each category.<\/p>

    Full list of Helldivers 2 stratagems \u2013 All codes on PS5 and PC<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The codes are all used with directional buttons, both on the PC and PS5. Bear in mind that on the PC you\u2019ll be using WASD. So W is Up, A is Left, S Down, and D Right.<\/p>\n
