In Helldivers 2, the battle against managed democracy is ramping up at an alarming rate. Angel’s Venture is in shambles due to the Meridian Singularity, and the only glimmer of hope for a solution is buried within the Terminid-infested nightmare known as The Gloom. When you find yourself in the heat of the moment, with a few Bile Titans charging your way, calling in stratagems becomes crucial. It can mean the difference between a successful mission and becoming just another insect meal. Fortunately, there’s a handy tool in the Helldivers’ kit that could be a game-changer: your phone.
Let’s talk about the Elgato Stream Deck. It’s a well-loved accessory for PC users, particularly favored by streamers and those keen on workflow optimization, retailing at $149.99. But here’s the kicker: the company has rolled out a free mobile app, available for both iOS and Android, that does the exact same thing and is perfect for calling down Stratagems in the blink of an eye. While setting up these macros manually isn’t too daunting, a savvy user named CrashKoeck has already crafted a free Stream Deck profile. This profile includes all the button combinations for every Stratagem in the game, complete with matching icons, making your life exponentially easier.
To get this profile up and running, you’ll need to tweak a few key bindings in your Helldivers 2 settings. But once that’s sorted, you’ll have the powerful ability to summon your favorite orbital strikes with a simple tap. Although the free version of the Stream Deck app on mobile restricts you to six buttons, you can cleverly navigate this by adding multiple pages and folders, effectively expanding your control options.
