Arrowhead Game Studios has finally commented on the addition of Mech suits in Helldivers 2<\/em>\u2014and they’re arriving soon.<\/p>
The announcement was made on March 5 via the official Helldivers 2<\/em> X (formerly Twitter) account<\/a> in the form of an in-universe poster advertising EXO-45 Patriot Exosuits being in production at Tien Kwan factories. It’s a fun way of announcing the Mechs’ inclusion, but it annoyingly doesn’t provide an exact date for when they’ll actually appear in the game.<\/p>

Still, it’s great to see Arrowhead properly acknowledging their eventual inclusion almost a month since Helldivers 2<\/a><\/em>‘s launch. Mech suits were teased for the game in the January State of Play<\/a> as post-launch content, but Arrowhead likely made new content less of a priority once it became busy dealing with Helldivers 2<\/em>‘s server troubles<\/a>.<\/p>
From the sound of it, the EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit will be the only Mech available, though there’s speculation more Mech types will arrive down the line thanks to leaks<\/a>. There’s also still no word on what other content Arrowhead has planned for Helldivers 2<\/em>. The lack of a public roadmap<\/a> means fans have turned to leaks and rumors for new info, which include talk of more weapons<\/a> and a third enemy faction<\/a>.<\/p>
Helldivers 2<\/em> has managed to maintain a solid, regular playerbase, at least on Steam. At the time of writing, it’s consistently hit upwards of 400,000 players since launch according to Steam Charts<\/a>, so it’s not as if players have grown starved and desperate for new content just yet. Still, new additions like the Mechs will help keep things fresh, though hopefully Arrowhead will provide a concrete roadmap of its plans sometime soon as well.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
