The tables below shows all the current Stratagems in Helldivers 2. Clicking on the different sub-headers allows for sorting by different characteristics.
- Clicking the Input Code sub-header will display stratagems with similar directional inputs grouped together. Becoming familiar with just a few of these will allow the savvy Helldiver to branch out to many other stratagems and playstyles quickly.
- You can rebind default "WASD" binds to any keys on keyboard, so you can move and use stratagems at the same time.
