Stratagems are a massive part of the fun in Helldivers 2. They are powerful abilities that you can call down from your ship to help you and your squad in the heat of battle. If you're new to the game, you might be wondering how to use them on PC. It's actually pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

So, how do you use Stratagems in Helldivers 2 on PC? To use a Stratagem, you need to hold down the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard and then press the corresponding arrow key sequence that is displayed on the screen. Once you've entered the code correctly, you'll see a blue beacon appear that you can throw to mark the spot where you want the Stratagem to land.

Calling in the Big Guns

Using Stratagems is all about timing and placement. You don't want to accidentally call in an orbital strike on top of your own team! I remember one time when I was playing with my friends, I panicked and threw my Stratagem beacon right into the middle of our squad. It was a complete disaster, but we all had a good laugh about it afterward. It was a valuable lesson learned the hard way!

Here are some tips for using Stratagems effectively:

• Communicate with your team. Let your squad know when you're about to call in a Stratagem so they can clear the area.
• Pay attention to your surroundings. Don't call in a Stratagem in a tight space where it could do more harm than good.
• Use the right Stratagem for the job. There are a variety of Stratagems to choose from, each with its own unique abilities. Make sure you're using the right one for the situation. For example, you wouldn't want to use a defensive Stratagem when you're on the attack.
• Don't be afraid to experiment. The best way to learn how to use Stratagems is to simply try them out. Don't be afraid to experiment with different Stratagems to see what works best for you.

My personal favorite is the Eagle Airstrike. It's great for clearing out large groups of enemies. I once used it to take out a whole horde of Terminids that had us pinned down. It was a glorious sight to see!
