Stratagems are a crucial element in Helldivers 2 as they allow players to call in special weapons, equipment, and more ammo in the heat of battle. Here is the full list of every Stratagem in Helldivers 2 and how to input their codes.

Helldivers 2 Stratagem Codes Full List

Helldivers 2 players can call in Stratagems almost anytime during a game unless the timer has run out or players are near a jammer. Stratagems can first be called in by holding the L1 button on PlayStation or Left Control key on PC.

Players will have to input a series of directions either with the D-Pad or WASD keys, then press the Fire button to throw the Stratagem in a landing spot. The Stratagem codes are shown in the upper left corner during gameplay, but here are all codes separated by category for easy viewing:
