In Helldivers 2, all players embody regular human soldiers equipped with advanced weaponry and tactical expertise. Central to the gameplay are stratagems—essential tools that significantly enhance the combat capabilities of SEAF forces.
These stratagems resemble abilities found in various games; they encompass a range of logistics and fire support mechanisms designed to enable players to triumph over formidable adversaries. Below, you’ll find the input codes for all stratagems in Helldivers 2, ideal for both new and experienced players looking to optimize their gameplay strategy.
Offensive Stratagems
Offensive stratagems serve as the primary means of obliterating enemy forces. These are further classified into two types: Eagle stratagems, deployed by Eagle fighter jets, and Orbitals, launched directly from Super Destroyers.
Eagle Stratagems
With shorter call-in times and reduced cooldowns compared to Orbitals, Eagle stratagems are ideal for rapid strikes. However, they come with a finite number of charges, necessitating rearming after all have been utilized.
Stratagem | Input Code |
---|---|
Eagle Airstrike | ⬆️➡️⬇️➡️ |
Eagle Strafing Run | ⬆️➡️➡️ |
Eagle Cluster Bomb | ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️➡️ |
Eagle Napalm Airstrike | ⬆️➡️⬇️⬆️ |
Eagle Smoke Strike | ⬆️➡️⬆️⬇️ |
Eagle 500kg Bomb | ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️ |

Orbital Stratagems
In contrast, Orbital stratagems provide heavy-duty fire support, launched from distant Super Destroyers. They feature longer cooldown periods and require a few moments to deploy, making them most effective for large-scale destruction and targeted strikes.

Defensive Stratagems
Defensive stratagems are constructed to secure locations and offer Helldivers additional mechanisms to thwart swarming enemies. These robust, stationary emplacements are valuable in virtually all missions, provided they are effectively positioned and utilized. Defensive stratagems typically remain active for a designated period or until their resources are exhausted.
