Rocket Sentry

Heavy Infantry are often the toughest enemies to deal with in Helldivers 2. These enemies are not annoying because of their prowess in battle, but because of their ability to eat bullets and still carry on.

However, using the Rocket Sentry stratagem will obliterate their HP and leave you free to advance. Their ridiculous efficiency and ability to hold areas alone make these Stratagems some of the best in the game.

Shield Generator Relay

You've had a stratagem that can help eliminate your enemies in a flash; now how about one that helps you render all of their weaponry useless? The Shield Generator Relay stratagem, as the name suggests, generates a shield that protects you and your team from the bullets of your enemies.

However, that's not even the best part, while it protects bullets from entering your space, it also allows you to shoot back at your enemies to deal some devastating damage. If the enemy's numbers are starting to overwhelm you, throwing one of these down can help you get through with a breeze.

Orbital 380mm Barrage

Among all the Stratagems in Helldivers 2, the Orbital 380mm Barrage is perhaps the strongest that you can have in your arsenal. This Area-of-effect attack calls down a mortar from space that decimates anyone unlucky enough to get caught in its impact.

A lot of missions in this title can become somewhat mediocre due to how overpowered this Stratagem is. Its efficiency at crowd control and devastating potential for damage makes it one of the best stratagems in Helldivers 2.
