The Helldivers 2 mechs can seemingly be found and operated in-game right now, despite the fact that their construction planet hasn't been liberated.
Yesterday, March 7, Helldivers 2 devs announced the mechs would be "halting operations," as the planet on which they're put together had come under attack by the vicious Automaton forces. Players were quickly despatched to Tien Kwan in a Major Order, effectively being given just under three days to vanquish the robots and get the huge mechs back on track.
Despite Tien Kwan not being fully liberated, the mechs are apparently available right now in Helldivers 2. In the clip below, one Helldiver runs into a gorge on Tien Kwan, before just happening on a Patriot Exosuit. They can even climb into the Exosuit and operate it fully, seemingly without any restrictions whatsoever, blasting away with rockets and a minigun.
According to a comment from the player, the left arm of the mech is loaded with 14 rockets, while the right arm has a gatling gun with a "couple hundred rounds." Apparently this is more rockets than the mechs in the order Helldivers were loaded with, which means these Patriot Exosuits could arguably be more powerful than their predecessors.
Additionally, it seems like small laser-based weapons from the Automaton forces don't really hurt the mechs, but rockets will deal some heavy damage. Again, that's according to the player who stumbled upon the mech itself in the clip, so keep that in mind if you happen to find one of the big metal behemoths over the next few days.
Oddly enough, the player claims to have found dead Automatons and Terminids on the ground surrounding the mech on Tien Kwan. The two enemies have never been found on the same planet so far in Helldivers 2, and I'm really hoping this isn't a warning sign of things to come in the shooter. I really don't want to deal with both bugs and bots at once, thanks.
Aside from all this, it seems like Helldivers 2 was hinting about the mechs being in-game from earlier this week. The Twitter user below points out that an in-game lobby message advises players to review training manuals before they get into a Patriot Exosuit (not that there are any actual training manuals, mind you).

Larian's writing director is "so excited" for the studio's next game after Baldur's Gate 3.
With the current Major Order looking all but complete, Helldivers 2 players are attempting to rally their fellow soldiers to the fight on Mantes. The issue, though, is that plenty of people don't fancy the fight against the Automatons.
Players all across the known galaxy converge on certain planets under the name of spreading Managed Democracy in the game Through immersive and organic storytelling reminiscent of the enigmatic gamemaster known as Joel shapes the greater narrative of the game as players contend with hordes of bugs and bots. One way Arrowhead Game Studios directs story efforts is by issuing Major Orders. These missions direct the overall strategy and aims of the playerbase.
Helldivers 2 players are confidently taunting Game Master Joel after taking six planets, defending two, and capturing two whole sectors in just a few days of hard-hitting, democracy-spreading action. Something that's sparking fear in others afraid of the retaliation the overlord will inevitably bring.
Apex Legends' regional finals have been disrupted by multiple players being hacked mid-game, leading one expert to warn against playing other EA-published games until the situation is resolved.
presents players with an abundance of different tools to eliminate the deadly armies of the Terminids and Automatons and Arrowhead Studios is giving fans some insight into how those Stratagems are created. One of the core components of the popular co-op shooter is the ability to call down equipment and support from the skies, most of which take the form of explosive air strikes or precision missile launches. They're undoubtedly one of the most fun aspects of and director Johan Pilestedt wants everyone to know how the team creates them.
Shortly after introducing exosuits to Helldivers 2, developer Arrowhead Game Studios has now issued a new major order for players to chase after. Having dealt with Automatons to quite an extent in the previous major order, the latest one now tasks Helldivers with permanently quarantining Terminids out of an entire sector of the galaxy.
Helldivers 2 has a brand new Major Order focusing on quarantining the Terminid threat, but players will need to rapidly liberate four players to clear the objective.
Helldivers 2 has been the surprise hit of 2024 so far, giving PS5 owners an exclusive just as the studio confirmed none of its tentpole franchises will be getting new installments until at least April 2025. The multiplayer game has willing recruits teaming up to fight in the name of Super Earth, and now you can look good doing it on regular Earth as Insert Coin has teamed up with Arrowhead to create a line of exclusive Helldivers 2 merch.
makes a point of recommending the use of firearms in the war for Super Earth but one player is going a completely different route. When there are countless Automatons and Terminids swarming the galaxy, it stands to reason that taking them out will require some heavy firepower either shot from orbit or through the barrel of a gun. Having said that, sometimes a dedicated Helldiver just needs to get down and dirty, trading in an Eagle Strafing Run for the butt of their rifle.
With mechs finally available for players to pilot, Helldivers 2 fans are already disappointed by the underwhelming launch of the EXO-45 exosuits within the game. The newest release from Arrowhead Game Studios has already seen massive success within just a month of its release, selling millions of units across its PC and PS5 versions. Arrowhead would report Helldivers 2 had sold 3 million units less than three weeks following its debut, becoming one of Steam's best-selling games. Now, a new addition to the game has left players conflicted.
