Hoping to put an end to the slow but steady decline in player numbers, Helldivers 2 turns to a seductive mech suit with super powers in the hopes of slowing the decline.
Helldivers 2 – Everything You Need to Know About the New Exo-49 Emancipator Mech
The developers of Helldivers 2 announced today the next Major order: liberate the planet Varylia-5 from the "vile" Automaton Petafactory. In addition to the reward of 50 medals for completing the order itself, Super Earth will convert the Automaton facility into a manufacturing facility for the EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit, a dual-Autocannon mech suit.

The Autocannon is one of the most satisfying power weapons to wield in the game, and the idea of two of them equipped with an exosuit mech sounds perfect for any freedom lover, especially considering the frustrations players have had with the fragility of the current exosuit. But will this shiny new toy be enough to keep players coming back?
