Make Helldivers 2 stratagems quick and easy with this Steam Deck trick

As Automaton armies and Terminid throngs continue their wicked war against the forces of Super Earth, the use of Helldivers 2 stratagems to protect our way of life is an absolute must. This can prove more difficult on Steam Deck than other platforms due to spotty performance hampering smooth inputs, but one citizen has devised a clever trick using trackpads to make the process smoother.

Helldivers 2 dev says it has secret powers it's keeping under wraps

Amidst the thrum and chaos of a Helldivers 2 mission, it can sometimes feel like you're all alone out there. Sure, those airstrikes must be coming from somewhere, but wouldn't it be nice to get a little more direct assistance from time to time? As it turns out, developer Arrowhead Game Studios has its very own 'game master,' inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, and they have powers to help swing the balance in either direction - including abilities yet to be revealed.

Helldivers 2 mech video surfaces alongside rumours of meteor Stratagems and deployable AI squad mates

We knew the Helldivers 2 team were looking ahead to the future now that they'd largely overcome the game's most significant server issues. But we weren't expecting to see new additions quite so quickly, as rideable mechs have been spotted in the wilds. When are they actually being added to the game? No idea. Do they look cool as heck? Yes, absolutely.

Look, just listen to me, you need to hear this, man. I was there. When the battles raged over Malevelon Creek and Mort and the Helldivers 2 community tasted both sweet, sweet victory and agonising defeat all in the span of one 24 hour period.

Yeah, it was just after everyone in the trenches had been really mad at some farmers they thought might be harming the war effort and just before we got all of our missing money back. We knew we had to keep on pushing through the galaxy, liberating it in the name of Super Earth, trying to put an end to this blasted Galactic War, man.

I was there man, when Malevelon Creek - that planet that’s covered in jungles and crawling with automatons, we call it ‘Robot Vietnam’ - when it fell, man, after hours of struggle. I was there, watching clips of the exact moment when all hope was lost on the Helldivers 2 subreddit, watching the tweets and memes roll in from the devastated soldiers who were just trying to hold on in that hellhole.

Hell(o), bellowing caped stooges of Super Earth! It's time for another Helldivers 2 patch. This one makes some heroic adjustments to the shooter's generally inoffensive microtransaction system, targetting a technical issue whereby Super Credits and Premium Warbonds would not show up after purchase. Huzzah! Developers Arrowhead have also nuked a rather barmy Helldivers 2 glitch that allowed for unlimited stratagem use with no cooldowns following an AFK kick.
