Trust me, we’re all very excited about vehicles and mechs coming to Helldivers 2. Leaks are swirling, rumors are whirling, but what we do know (almost) for sure is that the content is almost ready.
Mechs? What Mechs?
Yesterday, over on the Helldivers Subreddit, avideo was postedshowing off one of the mechs that appeared in the first game. This mech, theEX0-44 ‘Stomper’ Exosuitwhich appeared in the original Helldivers, is fitted with armor-piercing missiles and a minigun. As someone who near-exclusively relied on this stratagem to keep myself and my friends alive all those years ago, I am.. very.. excited about this footage.
Now that the server issues are under control, the team over at Arrowhead has stated that they’re back on track with their original development plans. After some recent hires, these are sure to include the release of new stratagems, including the missing Exosuits which were featured in the launch date trailer as “in progress.”
Other New Stratagems and Content Coming to Helldivers 2
Other leaked, but well-corroborated reports of stratagems are floating around as well.Nukes, NPC Helldivers,andLaser Weaponsare just a few of thedataminedor otherwise dubiously-previewed abilities we can look forward to getting our hands oneventually. Of course, not everything that exists in a game’s files will make its way to a playable state, so take these leaks with a grain of salt. The mechs, though, are 100% on their way.
Some other leaked files may point toweapon customization, with names like “WeaponCustomizationSlot_PaintScheme.” Sounds pretty cut and dry to me!
And finally, lest we forget, there’s an entirethird factionconspicuously missing from the game.Thatdefinitely feels like something to keep an eye out for as well.
