One of the most important aspects of Helldivers 2 is the Stratagems, which help you call your backup from the Destroyer ship when you are not able to complete a mission. This backup can involve a lot of variables like airstrikes or turrets, which help you clear the area and move ahead when you can’t stand on your own. However, calling them would require a unique code.

All Helldivers 2 Stratagem Types and Codes
You will find six types of Stratagems in the game, and you will have to enter the unique code in the D-pad to call the backup. However, the catch is that you will have to enter the code while fighting the Terminids, and there is no way around it.
Here are all the Stratagems found in Helldivers 2:
- Patriotic Administration Center
- Orbital Cannons
- Hangar
- Bridge
- Engineering Bay
- Robotics Workshop
