Playing the Stratagem Hero mini-game in Helldivers 2 does not provide you with any extra awards. You can grind it all you want, but it will not have an impact on anything. Stratagem Hero has one sole purpose in Helldivers 2. It helps players get some practice using all the different Stratagem Codes.

To be efficient in battle, players need to have a strong command of the Stratagem Codes. It can be game-changing if they can pull out Stratagems like the Anti-Material Rifle and FLAM-40 Flamethrower at a moment's notice. However, one doesn't need a mini-game to become proficient with such items' codes.

Now that you have all the facts in front of you, it is up to you to decide whether Stratagem Hero in Helldivers 2 is worth the extra money you'd have to pay for the Super Citizen Edition.
