The strongest, and biggest asset to the Helldivers. Stratagems are external tools called upon from the Helldiver’s Super Destroyer (main ship) to aid through different means. Every stratagem must be unlocked through Requisition Slips, and each have a unique code of arrows. Each Helldiver can equip 4 stratagem aswell as any given ones appropriate to the mission. Each stratagem comes in different types: Green - Defensive, Red - Offensive, Blue - Support item, Yellow/orange - Mission objective stratagems
Helldivers will be dropped onto a planet via a Hellpod, and will be tasked on completing the given mission and extracting. Helldivers are meant to be expendible meaning death is extremely common. Every single reinforced Helldiver will be given stims, primary, secondary weapons, and throwables but not any lost support items or backpack items. Stims are used to heal any injuries and fully replenishes health, aswell as giving a stamina, and temporary invulnerability.
Helldivers are given specific objectives for missions. Currently, there are 5 mission types avaliable to Helldivers: Peacekeeping, Blitz, defence and commando. Peacekeeping operations drop Helldivers into a external planet to complete a objective given and extracting. Objectives can vary drastically, and often incorperate puzzles in sychronicity to combat. Blitz missions are short, objectives often tasked to kill a certain amount of enemy units within a timelimit. Defence missions require Helldivers to defend a area for a certain timeframe. Commando missions are the newest mission type which are reserved for automaton forces which incorperate stealth, and espionage with limited resources and reinforcements.
