Unexpected Mechs Encounter in Helldivers 2

Players of Helldivers 2, available on PlayStation 5 and PC, have been pleasantly surprised to discover the presence of mechs during gameplay, even though they were not initially included in the highly cooperative shooter. The addition was first noted by a Reddit user who shared gameplay footage, sparking excitement as mechs were a popular element in the game's predecessor, the original Helldivers. In addition to the mechs, a new portable rocket launcher and the ability to call in a meteor strike and NPCs were also featured in the footage. Though the developer had expressed intentions to add mechs post-release, it's speculated that this early sighting might be due to a testing phase conducted by the developers. Helldivers 2 challenges players to work in teams, undertaking several missions to keep extraterrestrial threats at bay, with the ability to upgrade their armament and abilities from a hub on a spaceship.

What new features have been added to Helldivers 2?

Helldivers 2 has recently seen the addition of mechs, a new portable rocket launcher capable of firing an energy beam, and players can now call in meteors and NPC reinforcements to aid in combat.

Helldivers 2 carries on the legacy of its predecessor, Helldivers, which was first launched in 2015 for PlayStation consoles and later made its way to PC. The original game was lauded for its challenging cooperative play, where tactics and teamwork were key to defending 'Super Earth' against various intergalactic threats. Arrowhead Game Studios, the developers, designed the game around a 'community-driven' galactic war where players' success or failure directly influenced the overall war effort. The sequel's commitment to expand on this formula and include favorite features like mechs shows Arrowhead's dedication to the game's fans and their interest in evolving the game's offerings.
