Practice your Stratagem input skills. Using Stratagems, especially in the heat of an intense battle, can be particularly daunting. Thankfully, there's a way to brush up on your input code skills through a unique arcade-like game machine called Stratagem Hero found along the wall, directly across from the Ship Management station.

Make use of your Stratagems often. The tutorial does an excellent job of covering how important Stratagems will be for you throughout the game. But when you're out on your very first mission, you'll see just how essential they really are.

You can opt to go even lower to push for close to 60 FPS if you want to, though the graphical quality will be rather poor. Medium and above, on the other hand, chugs down to the mid-20s or worse, so a low-to-medium balance is the sweet spot we recommend.

These, along with individual mission completions, net you special Warbond medals that you can use to unlock new equipment, gear, and cosmetics from a Warbond — a series of 10 tiered pages full of unlocks to progress through.

Getting closer to Helldivers 2 Gameplay the action feels great and allows for some really hilarious moments, like when I accidentally called in an airstrike that took out the rest of my team or when I found myself surrounded by absolutely terrifying robots and used my jetpack to leap to safety.

It’s Katherine, Arrowhead’s social media and community manager, back again to bring you new Helldivers 2 gameplay details: a more in-depth look at our cooperative play* and combat. 

For $quarenta, I didn’t expect to have this much fun. It’s a game that’s completely unapologetically made for enjoyment as a co-op shooter and it completely works that way. It’s a perfect mix of moment-to-moment gameplay and teamwork as playing with a group is very rewarding.
