Gameplay Tips

 * Each twin arm-mounted cannon has a magazine size of 250 rounds, for a total ammunition reserve of 500 shots.


 * Stratagems can be used from inside the Exosuit. Since they are launched from a tube there is no throw charge up, and the beacon always goes about half of the on-foot maximum thrown distance. A yellow warning light on the Exosuit's shoulder-mounted stratagem launcher indicates that a beacon has been readied.


 * Vehicles are larger than Hellpods, requiring more space to deploy. They can land anywhere within a fairly wide radius of where the beacon that called it in. In rough terrain, this can lead to the vehicle being deployed on top of unsuspecting Helldivers.


 * When calling in multiple stratagems, it is advisable to deploy any vehicles until after the Hellpods carrying equipment have arrived. A single Hellpod will instantly destroy any vehicle it lands on, causing it to explode.
