“Hey everyone!
With the successful push from the community to take Tien Kwan and the subsequent enabling of the mechs our servers have a hard time coping, the team is aware and doing what they can to mitigate. This intermittent issue is caused by too many trying to acquire the mech at the same time. Service will be restored eventually, but for now I ask for patience.
I am so impressed by the combined power and dedication of the
@helldivers2
community. You all are massive heroes liberating Tien Kwan 4x faster than we thought”
We’ll update the article once we know more.
Based on our testing, the game’s servers are having issues, as we cannot login presently, Multiple people on Twitter have also said the same. To date, Arrowhead Game Studios has not issued anything about it just yet.

Helldivers 2 EXO-45 Mech Now Available In-Game:
Just yesterday, Arrowhead released a patch which the studio didn’t reveal any patch notes for. However, within the same day, the studio also announced that Tien Kwan needed to be liberated in order for the factories to be functional again. Well, in just a day, the players have done just that, as the official Helldivers Twitter/X account announced that the mission has been completed and the EXO-45 suit is now available!

So, just how do people get the mech suit in Helldivers 2? Well, you don’t get it via a stratagem, but just by calling it in in-game! Once you get in a match, you should see it along with your other stratagems. Call it in, go hop in! It’s as simple as that.
Once the server situation improves, or if Arrowhead issues a statement, we’ll update the article.
