The battle against managed democracy in Helldivers 2 is really heating up. Angel’s Venture has been shattered by the Meridian Singularity, and the key to stopping this chaos lies within the terrifying Terminid-infested region known as The Gloom. Navigating this arena is no casual task. When Bile Titans start charging at you, calling in stratagems becomes crucial—whether you manage a clean extraction hinges on these quick decisions. Luckily, the Helldivers have a surprising asset up their sleeve: their mobile phones.
Enter the Elgato Stream Deck, a beloved gadget for PC streamers and productivity enthusiasts that sets you back $149.99. But here’s the kicker—they offer a free mobile app for both iOS and Android, which can be just as effective. This app can adapt to seamlessly combine inputs, letting you summon Stratagems in the blink of an eye. Now, you could craft these macros yourself, but why bother when user CrashKoeck has already done the heavy lifting? They’ve created a free profile for the Stream Deck, packing in all the button combinations for every Stratagem, complete with matching icons.
To get this set up, you’ll need to tweak a few key bindings in your Helldivers 2 settings. Once that’s done, you’ll be able to unleash your favorite orbital weaponry with just a single tap. Although the free version of the Stream Deck mobile app initially restricts you to six buttons, you can outsmart this limitation by adding multiple pages and folders to give you more room to play with.
