Former Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Pilestedt wants your best Helldivers 2 Eagle-1 Stratagem ideas. Not long ago, Pilestedt stepped down as CEO to the position of CCO so he could focus more on Helldivers 2 and help it flourish. Now he is asking for players to help with new ideas for Stratagems. This has us hopeful that we could see him take other suggestions such as customizable mechs or even new social features such as guilds.
On his X account, Pilestedt posted, “Give me your best Helldivers 2 Eagle Stratagem ideas!” In response, the community shared some pretty fantastic ideas that range from more intense strafe runs to heavy gunner ships that can more easily spread managed democracy.
Once user commented, “Air superiority patrol. Used to knock down gunships or shriekers in a radius.” Another commented, “I don’t know if it has to be an eagle strike, but something to deny enemies from reinforcing for like a minute or 2 would be very strategically useful.” Pilestedt responded to this request by saying, “Cool idea. Like a disruption beacon – similar to what the bots have.”
The conversation was taken to Reddit by user BaqaMan and even more players decided to chip in. Hopefully, Pilestedt takes a look at Reddit for more ideas as some of these are great.
Once user suggested, “Eagle comes over, drops literally everything it has left, then goes up to resupply.” This would be amazing for when you want to hit the enemies with as much firepower as possible. Once user replied to the comment saying, “That literally sounds like something I’d use frequently. There are times I wish I could drop multiple payload types at the same time.”
Another user commented, “I know this is a pipe dream but AC-130 gunship type stratagem. The player calls in an Eagle that circles the area providing light, medium, and heavy fire support depending on present enemy types.” This would be a fantastic addition to the Stratagems that are already in the game and something we would personally love to use. Now if only we could use our Req Slips to play some Stratagem Hero while we wait to deploy. Pilestedt, get on this!
