The battle against managed democracy in Helldivers 2 is intensifying rapidly. Angel’s Venture is in shambles, devastated by the Meridian Singularity, leaving us with one slim hope: braving The Gloom, a Terminid-infested nightmare. It’s not easy to swiftly deploy stratagems when you’ve got a horde of Bile Titans bearing down on you. Those tense moments can mean the difference between making it out alive or ending up as bug food. But don’t fret—there’s a nifty tool in the Helldivers’ kit that might just give you the edge: your phone.
Meet the Elgato Stream Deck, a beloved gadget among streamers for boosting workflow efficiency. They offer a free mobile app for both iOS and Android that can be a game-changer for calling down Stratagems swiftly. While setting up these macros on your own isn’t too difficult, a user named CrashKoeck has kindly shared a free profile specifically for Stream Deck. It conveniently includes all the button combinations needed for every Stratagem in the game, complete with their respective icons.
To make this work, you’ll need to do a bit of key remapping in your Helldivers 2 settings. But once that’s done, you’ll have instant access to your favorite orbital firepower with just a tap. Although the free version of the Stream Deck mobile app offers only six buttons, you can cleverly create multiple pages and folders, allowing you to manage much more than that.
