Helldivers 2 has evolved a lot since its release, as Arrowhead Game Studios has added a bunch of new Stratagems, weapons, and gameplay features to the game. For a new player, things will certainly seem overwhelming because it’s difficult to understand which Stratagems work well against which kind of enemies.
While it’s true that some Stratagems only work against certain factions, some weapons can be used across all factions. In a viral social media post, Helldivers 2 players shared their favorite Stratagems that every beginner should unlock first. Most of these Stratagems are highly effective against small as well as big, armored enemies. Even experienced players should take these Stratagems on their missions because you really can’t go wrong with them.
The Helldivers 2 community shared their favorite Stratagems for beginners
New players in Helldivers 2 don’t have many options to choose from since most of the Stratagems are locked. It can be tough to decide what to unlock once you have enough Requisition Slips because you certainly don’t want to end up in a situation where you discover the Stratagem you worked hard for turned out to be a complete disappointment.
To help beginners, the Helldivers 2 community on the r/helldivers2 subreddit has shared its best strategies. User SES-SpearofDemocracy suggested that the Recoilless Rifle is great against Bile Titans.
User elbobd also chimed in to point out, “If you’re an adrenaline enjoyer, I’d say quasar canon can solve the same problem while taking care of your need to express your freedom.”
Another player, moldsharp, made it clear that there isn’t “a problem a 500 couldn’t solve,” implying that the Eagle 500KG Bomb is the best.
HatfieldCW shared a list of the best beginner-friendly Stratagems: Eagle Airstrike, Machine Gun Sentry, Recoilless Rifle, Grenade Launcher, Guard Dog, Autocannon, Orbital Gas Strike, Autocannon Sentry, Waking Barrage, HMG Emplacement.
The Stratagems mentioned above will allow players to easily get through low difficulty missions, which will help them earn more Requisition Slips. After reaching a high difficulty level, players can start focusing on faction-specific Stratagems.
Helldivers 2 has a bright future ahead
In roughly one year, Helldivers 2 has garnered a large fanbase, which is constantly growing every month. The welcoming nature of the community, the exciting co-op gameplay, and the chaos on the battlefield all contribute to a unique gaming experience. The game bagged various prestigious awards in 2024 and is expected to do the same in 2025, all thanks to its exciting updates and new content.
What’s crazier is that Sony plans to expand the Helldivers universe by creating a movie based on the Helldivers 2 lore. The announcement came directly from PlayStation Productions head Asad Qizilbash during Sony’s CES 2025 presentation.
Helldivers 2 is available only on PlayStation 5 and Windows, but Xbox players still hope that Sony will share this exclusive with Microsoft, given that some Xbox exclusives have finally reached PlayStation 5.
