Top 7 Best Stratagems
Eagle Airstrike
This pretty simple Stratagem you can unlock early on, but in terms of utility is among the best. It can take on a wide range of targets and destroy buildings (life Automaton Factories), and it has a relatively low cooldown.
Railcannon Strike
The most versatile weapon, Autocannon is useful against almost every target in the game. It cannot penetrate armor, but once a weak spot is exposed, its high damage, rate of fire (further improved by teaming up with another Helldiver), and surprising precision really shine. Autocannon deals explosive damage so you can use it to close bug holes and to bypass some damage resistances some enemies have (like Bile Spewers and Chargers).
Autocannon
This orbital is almost a staple in every have that includes massive enemies. Once you throw the stratagem beacon, the incoming strike will lock on the largest target near the beacon. A couple of seconds later, a strike from your Orbital Railcannon will hit the target and it usually one-shots it. It can kill almost everything in a single shot, except for the Factory Strider (but it still deals a ton of damage). The only downside is the somewhat longer cooldown of three and a half minutes.
Quasar Cannon
The heavy las-cannon is the newest addition to Helldivers and has already proved its worth. The Quasar Cannon combines huge damage and armor penetration with unlimited ammo. The only thing keeping it in check is the somewhat long heat-up and cooldown time.
Eagle 500kg Bomb
This mini-nuke is great when you want to obliterate a part of the map. If placed correctly, it can one-shot a Bile Titan and everything near it. If you have all your Hangar Ship Modules upgraded, then you can use the 500kg Bomb quite often.
Expendable-Anti Tank
This seemingly forgettable Stratagem proved time and time again to be one of the most useful anti-armor weapons. You’d think that a one-use weapon, that you have to call in constantly would be a liability, but it proved to be quite the opposite.
The short cooldown and the fact that you get two EATs in one call is the main factor here. With all the upgrades, the cooldown time is around a minute. And it leaves you free to carry another Support Weapon. When you encounter a heavy, call in some EATs, deal with the target (even a teammate can take one), and switch back to your preferred Support Weapon when the heavy is dealt with.
Guard Dog “Rover”
The infamous laser drone. Rover is invaluable for clearing up waves of enemies, usually when you are on the run or kiting. The amount of kills it can rack up is amazing, but be careful, as it moves its laser beam around when acquiring new enemies, it can cut through your squadmates or even yourself, so it can become dangerous if you are surrounded.
