All Helldivers 2 Stratagem codes: Bridge, Hangar, Orbital Cannons, more

Stratagems are a key aspect of Helldivers 2, but they can be a little tough to master or memorize. So here’s every Stratagem code you can find in the game to give you an advantage on the battlefield.

Helldivers 2 is the latest installment of Arrowhead Game Studios’ franchise, released almost a decade after the first game came out. Unlike the prequel, which was a top-down shooter, Helldivers 2 gives players the experience of a futuristic battlefield filled with chaos and third-person designs.

Featuring different battlegrounds involving heavy machinery, explosions, supply pods, and weaponry, Helldivers 2 is not for the faint-hearted. Thankfully, you can summon special air drops in the middle of the action to aid you, making those tricky battles a little easier.
