Helldivers 2 Stratagems List

Helldivers 2 includes plenty of Stratagems that you may need to use during the battle for Super Earth, and the list is just going to get longer with the developers ready to add new Stratagems to the game soon. It’s necessary to learn the codes of your favourite and most used Stratagems as wasting time when the enemy draws near to your location does not help and may lead to the death of you and your allies. So, we have compiled all the Stratagems in the game along with their Button Inputs in this Helldivers 2 Stratagems List to help you remember them.
Note: Stratagems will first be listed separately according to their types and then combined into one list for ease of use.
