But how to enter them effortlessly while moving?  On the Helldivers subreddit, user Mashable gave a solution:

“On PC you need to rebind the stratagem input keys to something different than the movement keys. I have my stratagems on the arrow keys and I can move like a controller player while inputting, the only unfortunately thing is having to take my hand off the mouse to do so.”

User TadpoleLate4839 also gave a solution:

“Remap to arrow keys, and make strategem (CTRL) push instead of hold… takes a bit of getting used to, but it works great for me. U can run and hit strats. I also made sprint push instead of hold.”

User Subz1 instead advised to avoid the keybind limitations altogether. They said:

“You can avoid the keybind limitations by editing the config file. For example: I bind Stratagem menu+Moveforward+Sprint on 1 single button (mouse 4). I can still move around with wasd and open my stratagem menu with CTRL.”
