Helldivers 2: Required Level to unlock all Stratagem Codes
Stratagem Codes in Helldivers 2 can be equipped before diving into a new planet for a mission. Dive into your Hellpod and select a jump pod for where you would like to travel.
Upon doing so, you will be prompted to use an interface. To the left of the hexagonal Boosters slot, you will notice four empty slots. These slots are for you to equip your Stratagem Codes.
You can equip up to four different Stratagem Codes for each mission. Additionally, you can call in the airdrops by entering the specific code of that Stratagem. You will gradually unlock more Stratagem Codes as you progress through the game and get to a higher Level.
There are seven major types of Stratagem codes in Helldivers 2, with several codes for each category. They are all listed out below, along with the Level required to unlock them, credits required to purchase and the code for activating them -
