Reinforce Mechanics[edit | edit source]
Reinforce Stratagem is an essential tool that allows helldivers to resurrect defeated team members.
One Reinforce Stratagem can summon all the fallen team mates on one use, although if helldiver dies after the beacon was placed, defeated helldiver will have to be summoned again.
Each team member summon consumes 1 charge of Reinforce Stratagem.
For each helldiver in the squad, team gets 5 Reinforce charges. So full team of 4 helldivers will have 20 charges of Reinforce by default.
Once all the charges are exhausted Reinforce will have a cooldown of ?? secs before 1 charge is replenished. At that point only 1 helldiver will be revived, on the FIFO (First in First out) principle. So the one who dies earlier will be next in line for the summon.
Solo Helldivers do not get Reinforce inputs. Instead when a solo helldiver dies, Reinforce activates automatically on death, launching a pod with a new body straight after death.
As all pods, Reinforce pods can be used as a weapon against enemies or teammates, so helldivers should exercise caution when landing.

Reinforce Tips and Tricks[edit | edit source]
All the tips for Reinforce shared by the community. Feel free to add yours.
- Memorizing Reinforce inputs will be a useful skill at the harder difficulties.
- Most of the time when summoning for Reinforce its advisable to stay on the move. In order to do that, reassign call in hotkeys from wasd to arrows (on PC). That will allow helldiver to run and call stratagems at the same time.
- If helldiver will die with an activated Reinforce in hand, it will drop and place a Reinforce Beacon, reviving fallen team members. That can save the team from wiping if only 1 helldiver is alive.
