Helldivers 2 recently added an interesting new addition to its arsenal: the fearsome EXO-45 Patriot Mech Suits. These huge war machine come equipped with a heavy machine gun and rockets, making them ideal for annihilating Automatons and Terminids on the battlefield. Whether you're a lone warrior or part of a squad, these mechs will greatly increase your chances of victory. Here's a complete guide to getting and mastering the EXO-45 Patriot Mech Suits.
How to Get a Mech in Helldivers 2
Reach Level 25: Before entering into the Mech mayhem, make sure you've hit Level 25 to unlock the EXO-Patriot Mech Suit on the Stratagems menu.
Collect 20,000 Requisition Slips: Collect 20,000 Requisition Slips to purchase the EXO-45 Patriot Mech Suit from the Robotics Workshop's Stratagem list.
Access the Ship Management Console: Navigate to the Ship Management Console's Stratagems tab, then find the Mech at the bottom of the Robotics Workshop list and buy it.
Calling in the Mech
Go to your equipment page and activate the Mech Stratagem before making your way down to Planet. Deploy the Mech where necessary after landing, then watch as your Super Destroyer makes an incredible drop. Take warning: stay away from the bright light to avoid any injuries.
How to use the Mech Suit
Entering the Mech: Once the conditions are completed, make sure the Mech is in your loadout. When summoned, approach the Mech from behind to trigger the entry prompt.
Combat Strategies: The EXO-45 Patriot Suit is an useful powerhouse that can combat both bots and bugs. While it gives additional protection against formidable enemies, keep in mind that it will not make you invincible. Use the Mech strategically, as you won't be able to use other Stratagems while inside.
Cooldown Management: The Mech has a large cooldown of 600 seconds (10 minutes). Use it correctly during crucial times in a mission. Save rockets for larger enemies, and use the rapid-fire machine gun to deal with swarms.
Ammunition Considerations: The Patriot Suit includes 14 rockets for the left arm launcher and 1000 rounds for the right arm machine gun. Be wary of your ammunition, as once expended, the suit becomes ineffective. Press the circle button to depart if necessary.
Tactical Deployment
Strategically deploy the Mech based on the objectives of the mission. Clear swarms with the machine gun, or use rockets to take down large nests or kill Terminid eggs efficiently.
In Helldivers 2, you may master the art of mechanical warfare and become an unstoppable force on the battlefield. Prepare, strategize, and let the EXO-45 Patriot Mech Suit guide you to victory.
