Mech update

[Kirshak]

You know what would be badass ? A global order asking helldivers to help defend the planet and facilities that are building those Mechs before the actual Mech update release

[Luna]

See. This is the type of stuff that I think Joel should be on top of.
It's really not that complicated but maybe they'll do that it's just that we aren't as close to the release of the Mechs maybe idk.

Why would you build your mechs on the front line?

Because it would be more fun in a video game.

no. nor would it make any logical sense.

[Foxrun]

How about they fix armor values first

Justify is as a research and testing sight not the main factory, Don't want that anywhere too developed. And its not like we are fighting exclusively at the edge of the map.

Throw in the strategem for the event (like the recent napalm one) and it would be packed. lol

From the leaks we already know
There are 2 of them, a duel auto canon one and a minigun + rocketluancher
You get 2 changes of them per mission, they are a stategem. once you use them, thats it just like the orbital laser
They have a 600 second CD.

Maybe there are materials that come from the outer planets that Super Earth needs to mass product the mechs to ship to the front lines and we have to defend them or secure them or something like that.
C'mon now, be of a little creativity here. There are many ways to do this content drop narratively OP was just suggesting a general idea.

I mean think of all the logistical headaches with supply chains and transport if you could just murder the inhabitants of a planet then exploit their resources.

Fab on site and right into battle.

When you clear a planet factories go in , then they need to be defended

Hope mechs armor is working.

So another "Go get oil" mission? Like "material acquisition"? Hopefully, not a "defend the drill" mission.

Its not. i can already tell you its not.

THe issue with armor is not an issue with armor, its an issue with enemies. All enemy attacks are doing 100% armor pen. Which is why we effectively have zero armor.

[Malisk]

with a civilian deployment mission where they have to get shuttled into a factory to build them and you get a mech as the mission goes on.
like a reverse extraction

[Kirshak]

And if you un-democratic traitors fail the mission, the Mech update gets a 1 month delay

[Bastila Shan]

Yea and if we fail to defend the planet we dont get the mechs for another month
