Certain Helldivers 2 Stratagems are so dangerous that some players are convinced they're deliberately attacking us

As the Helldivers 2 community continues its quest to smash bots, squish bugs, and spread Managed Democracy with our shiny new mechs in tow, it's been noted that some of the supposedly helpful Stratagems can actually be far more hassle than they're worth. In fact, some are convinced that certain Stratagems might not even be on our side.

If you're new to Helldivers 2, Stratagems are crucial. They can be called in by putting in a series of directional inputs, and offer a wide range of help in the form of extra ammo, different weapons, enormous orbital strikes on foes, automatic turrets, and more. However, in a shooter where friendly fire is always on, keeping your teammates out of your own firing line is key, and some believe that specific Stratagems have genuine bloodlust and a thirst for violence against Helldivers.
