Helldivers 2 is a sci-fi shooter that draws heavy inspiration from Starship Troopers. Sony's new game is a direct sequel to 2015's top-down shooter Helldivers.
Helldivers 2 has been built upon the basic aspects of its predecessor, including enemy types, stratagems, and weapons. After the game's launch, Helldivers 2 players received their first exosuit stratagem after a month. The exosuit stratagem was the counter for larger enemy types such as the Chargers, Bile Titans, Devastators, and Hulks.
After the exosuit stratagem's positive reception by the Helldivers 2 player base, it seems like Arrowhead Game Studios is adding a new exosuit stratagem soon.
Helldivers 2 is getting a new Exosuit stratagem soon
In a recent thread in the Helldivers 2 subreddit, u/Emptynesz shared a gameplay clip of the new exosuit in action. The new exosuit stratagem called EXO-49 Emancipator is a new series of mechs loaded with only missiles.
The new exosuit will have the same 2 uses as the first exosuit. The cooldown after using an exosuit is 600 seconds, so if you call one in the early stages of a mission, you'll be able to call another one during the late stage of the mission or during extraction.
Moving on to the weapons attached to the exosuit, the EXO-49 Emancipator features two autocannons loaded with 75 rounds on each cannon. The damage stats of the autocannons are 300+60 for direct hits and 150+150 for explosions.
While the damage stats might seem like a lot, they are limited through an in-game mechanism called structure/armor damage, which depends on how hard you hit through the armour of an enemy type. Technically, without this mechanism, you would have been able to take out a Bile titan in a few hits.
Although, gameplay leaks for the exosuit show how powerful the new stratagem is going to be, it'll be interesting to see how it holds up against the new Illuminate enemy types.
