Helldivers 2 mechs could use some extra love.
"The development team knew someone would try this"
Helldivers 2 introduced its first exosuit, the EXO-45 Patriot back in March 2024. Its initial reception was quite poor as players believed that it had no use as it was weak against the game's mechanic enemies.
What the players didn't realize was that its firepower and armor make it a powerhouse against the bug-type Terminid enemies. They easily crush smaller enemies with their size and take care of larger ones with their miniguns and rocket pods.
Helldivers 2 players have shared mixed experiences with Patriot. Many find it exceptionally effective against bugs, especially on lower difficulties where the smaller enemies barely scratch the mech.
