Helldivers 2 gets reinforcements soon, developer Arrowhead has said, and they come in the form of big, stompy mechs.

Before Helldivers 2’s explosive launch, Arrowhead and publisher Sony had signaled mechs would arrive at some point after the game came out. Since then, Helldivers 2 has seen a glut of gameplay leaks showing off officially unavailable stratagems, including the upcoming mechs. The community has a number of explanations, one of which is that cheaters are unlocking the ability to use these unreleased stratagems in live lobbies by accessing the game’s files.
The mech shown off in Arrowhead’s tweet is the EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit, which has a minigun and a missile launcher. Based on footage of the mechs, they’ll be set down on the battlefield by a dropship. Helldivers can jump in and out from the back.

There’s a lot happening in the world of Helldivers 2, including a recent new strategy that involves hugging. The galactic war continues, of course, as players await the game’s first major patch that will, Arrowhead has signaled, make balance changes.
This week, IGN reported on how Helldivers 2 has become one of the surprise hits of 2024 since launching in February, topping the charts on Steam and reportedly selling around three million copies. According to at least one analyst, it's still growing. Check out IGN's Helldivers 2 review to find out why it's going down so well, as well as the best loadouts.
