Congratulations Helldiver, Your efforts in Varylia 5 has resulted in Super Earth obtaining control of the Petafactory. The EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit is now available Helldivers (Purchase with 20,000 requisition slips at your Super Destroyer). For a limited time, SEHC has issued the EXO-49 as a mission stratagem.

SEHC has praised the Helldivers for the defence of Angel's Venture, allowing the front to remain stable. The Terminid hivemind is now attacking Heeth with the goal of destroying the newly-constructed SEAF Training Facility.

It doesn't need to blow through the ammo on harder targets like the Patriot, so it is useful for a longer period of time. Very cool, and might be worth it long, long cool down.

[–] fearpanic@lemm.ee 16 points 7 months ago

I mean I killed 4 Hulks + chaff without problems and ammo left. Plus you can kill buildings for free. And it should have better armor pen than the normal AC because it can kill chargers easily. I think this one could be a go to in the future.

Coming soon the nerf

Feels better to use than the patriot, that's for sure. Haven't tried it on bots yet though.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 months ago

If they are close together, it feels amazing, but if there are multiple rocket hulks you will almost instantly blow up.

Its good on the bots. Its like pew pew boom boom pew pew boom boom lots debris

[–] Bongles@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'm not a fan of the fact you can't bring both mechs.

[–] MarauderIIC@dormi.zone 4 points 7 months ago

You can, but you're not supposed to be able to. Just put the first one in the first slot and the other one in slot 4.

Other people report success with overwriting a strategem with the other mech.

I think Helldivers 1 had the same restriction.

[–] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In HD1 you can bring a full load out of mechs.

[–] tiberius@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ah. But just limited to one each?

[–] Bongles@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

That's right.

[–] lapis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

the cool thing is these are turret-grade autocannons, not the shoulder-fired version, so they have enough armor pen and damage to handle even heavies given enough hits.

[–] Emptiness@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Sorry to burst your bubble but no. The Turret has the best durability damage by far. This thing has the lowest.

Still cant aim up for some reason.

[–] teejay@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Or down a hill or slope. You just end up shooting level and missing your target. It's bizarre.
