Helldivers brave enough to face the galaxy's threats may soon face a new challenge: proving their mastery of Stratagems. A recent quiz from PC Gamer challenges players to identify ten distinct Stratagems from the base game using only their input codes. This test aims to gauge a Helldiver's familiarity with the essential tools of managed democracy, distinguishing true veterans from those who merely dabble in galactic liberation.
The quiz, designed to be completed within two minutes, focuses exclusively on Stratagems available from the outset of Helldivers 2, omitting those acquired through Warbonds. This curation ensures that the challenge tests foundational knowledge rather than recently acquired abilities. Success hinges on recognizing the unique directional inputs associated with each Stratagem, a skill honed through countless combat deployments.
Players struggling with the visual or auditory cues of Stratagems are encouraged to engage their muscle memory by attempting to input the codes directly into the game. This tactile approach may trigger recognition of the corresponding Stratagem. The quiz serves as a lighthearted yet rigorous examination of a Helldiver's commitment to Super Earth's cause, with failure potentially leading to a formal report to the local Democracy Officer. Those unable to demonstrate sufficient proficiency may find themselves facing alternative futures, such as cryo storage.
For those seeking to further hone their gaming knowledge, a variety of other quizzes are available, covering topics from in-game currencies to obscure patch notes. This initiative extends PC Gamer's commitment to engaging content for its audience, providing more opportunities to test expertise across a wide spectrum of gaming trivia.
