Mech suits were one of the allures of the original Helldivers, so it’s only natural that fans would want to see them make a return. Unfortunately, you’ll discover that they are conspicuously absent from Helldivers 2.
This isn’t a reason to panic, because mechs were shown in a trailer we received for the game before its launch. Along with this was a message explaining that the content would not be available at launch. So, while you can’t start your mech action yet, Arrowhead fully intends for you to enjoy it at some point.
There’s been no mention of precisely when the mech suits are coming, but when they do, they could potentially be game-changing as they allow you to deal absurd amounts of damage while remaining protected. So, as you’d expect, anyone who’s a series fan is desperate for the mechs to show up soon.
Furthermore, with the change in perspective from top-down to third-person, you’ll be able to enjoy the look of the mechs much better. So don’t stress about mechs just yet. They’re on their way, and the game is still very enjoyable without them.
