Helldivers 2 has a lot of Stratagem codes to remember. Each one corresponds to different types of armaments that you can call down to help you on the battlefield. If you need a 500 KG Bomb to take down a Bile Titan, you’ve got it. Or, if you want a Stalwart to shred through hordes of Mindless, you can call it in. However, with so many options, there are plenty of codes you can input. If you want to know the Stratagem codes for each one currently in Helldivers 2, we have you covered. This also includes the latest Eagle Gas Airstrike.
All Stratagem Codes in Helldivers 2
There are different types of Stratagem codes you can enter to call them in. On PC, you hold the “Ctrl” key and input the directional buttons. However, for PlayStation, you hold “L1” and use the directional pad. On Xbox, it is “LB” and the directional buttons. You can call in offensive ones such as Orbital Strikes. Or take a more defensive approach by having a Gatling Sentry back you up. Each of them has a unique code that you must input to be able to use them. Below, we have listed each of the current ones in the game.

So, be sure to progress through them when you can to get all of them!
