In Helldivers 2, players are elite soldiers with access to advanced combat abilities known as “stratagems.” These powerful abilities help players take on massive odds and bring the fight to the enemy in intense battles. Whether you’re new to the game or an experienced player, knowing the stratagem codes is essential for maximizing your combat potential.
Offensive Stratagems
Offensive stratagems are designed for destroying enemies, and they come in two types: Eagle and Orbital. Both play crucial roles in combat, with Eagle stratagems being faster and more limited in supply, while Orbital stratagems are powerful but take longer to call in.
Eagle Stratagems
Eagle stratagems are delivered by fighter jets and have shorter cooldowns. However, they have a limited number of uses before requiring rearming.

Orbital Stratagems
Orbital stratagems are shot directly from Super Destroyers and are more powerful but take longer to call in. These are best used for large-scale destruction or precision strikes.

Defensive Stratagems
Defensive stratagems provide support and area control to help players hold positions and prevent enemy advances. These are vital for surviving intense firefights and keeping the mission on track.

Mission Stratagems
Mission stratagems provide additional support based on mission objectives and don’t take up any stratagem slots. They become available when a specific objective is nearby.
