Just last week, gameplay surfaced of what appears to be a mech suit that players can ride in Helldivers 2. Well, it seems we won’t have to wait to play it, as Arrowhead has confirmed that the Helldivers 2 EXO-45 Patriot Mech is hitting the game “soon!”
This was announced by the official Helldivers 2 Twitter account today:

There’s no word on when “soon” is, though I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s within the next two weeks. Personally, I am hoping it’s this week, as we need all the help we can get in order to fight for democracy.
In other Helldivers 2 news, a fan recently compared the game to Microsoft’s Halo franchise and said that Arrowhead’s franchise is greater and even tagged Arrowhead Game Studios boss Johan Pilestedt who wanted none of this flaming, and instead asked why do people need to compare.
Why compare? Just let gamers love and enjoy both, either or neither. We need more compassion and union in the world, and less rivalry.

Talking more about it, Pilestedt also replied to another fan who mentioned that a bit of friendly rivalry is a great thing, but that it should stay friendly.
Indeed. Also in business. Neither monopoly or cut-throat competition makes the world a better place.

I can’t say I am against what Pilestedt said. Monopoly in any industry is indeed not a good thing.
While we don’t know when the Helldivers 2 mech will be available in the game, we can confirm that daily orders are now back since early this morning. There’s also a balance update incoming, which might include the mech in it as well, though there’s no guarantee of that.
