This Helldivers 2 player uses his streamdeck to launch stratagems with style. Now I need one of those things

How many times have you seen something related to video games and thought: I need it for yesterday? Well, that’s what happened to me while watching TikTok during one of my latest forays. Helldivers 2 has completely blown up my algorithm and now only other helldivers appear spreading democracy throughout the universe.

Two words: “Helldivers 2 x Streamdeck.” The latter is a device that content creators use to manage their live shows (scenes, sounds, animations…), but it has other uses. Well, it turns out that some helldivers are using it to launch stratagems, simulating the screen that the soldier wears on his wrist.

So far, I’ve found two interesting uses for the helldiver itself. The content creator BigBadHater_FR You have created macros in your Steamdeck to launch the stratagems, so you just have to activate the menu with the keyboard and press the button of the resource you need to request it automatically.

It is a practice that some users have considered cheating. It would be an irrefutable argument if Helldivers 2

a PVP game, but it is a cooperative PVE. I don’t think I’m hurting anyone. In light of the criticism in the comments, he has decided to go one step further: strap the Streamdeck to his wrist and literally use it in the same way as the helldiver to launch the stratagem. “And this is cheating?!” he says in the TikTok post.

And that’s a cheat?! the only way to protect our way of life! For democracy! #helldivers2

Now your problem is that you have to stay completely still while calling for the stratagem. He has to hold down the open menu button and manually enter the arrow combination. All this without having your hands on the keyboard. Definitely, Arrowhead Game Studios y PlayStation they are asking for money by not throwing a wristband to launch the stratagems. I need one!
