Tactical Information

The Tactical Video Camera occupies a Helldiver's Support Weapon slot. It is recommended to designate one squad member to not bring a Support Weapon in their loadout, instead carrying the camera.
- To use the camera, Helldivers must first equip it by pressing the Support Weapon key, then hold down the aim and fire keys. The camera will have a short charge-up, then start recording. This shown by a visible red light and an audible tape rolling sound.
  - To properly record the incriminating evidence, Helldivers must have a clear line of sight to the target.
To complete the mission, Helldivers are required to extract with the camera. Extracting without the camera will result in mission failure.
Once picked up, the camera will be constantly marked on all Helldiver's maps.
