Players can pilot the long-awaited mech suit, slaying enemies with machine gun fire or shooting down dropships with rockets.

Roughly a day after Arrowhead Game Studios called on all Helldivers 2 players to help liberate Tien Kwan from the Automatons, the EX-45 Patriot Exosuit is now available. It’s worth noting that players had five days to save the planet and its exosuit manufacturing plant.

The EX-45 Patriot Exosuit has a machine gun for taking out hordes of smaller foes and a missile launcher that makes it ideal for destroying Automaton dropships. Overall, it’s worth the wait – now, we have to wait and see when the other alleged Stratagems and items will arrive alongside the Illuminate.

Some or all of these could arrive alongside the next Warbond, Cutting Edge, when it launches on March 14th. It adds three new armor sets and three primary weapons – the LAS-16 Sickle laser rifle, the SG-8P Punisher Plasma shotgun and the ARC-12 Blitzer. There’s also a new sidearm, the LAS-7 Dagger pistol, and the G-23 Stun grenade. Stay tuned for more details when it goes live next week.

Helldivers 2 is available for PS5 and PC
