The mech-suit sucks ass

[Payton Of Dion]

on helldiver it takes like 2 hits and dies. Literally not worth using. We've tried the bubble shield but it still is not worth it, idk what they were thinking.

Would I take one over a sentry or strike stratagem? Probably not tbh.

That being said I wish there was a way to build your equipment around piloting mechs. Like a way to repair and re-arm them.

Kinda sad that I wish that we would have controllable Hulks instead, because those things have pretty beefy laser guns, thick armor and decent speed.

Any time a walking tank that can quickly take down bugs would be useful?

Eagle air strikes and, autocannon and grenade launcher have these roles down pretty well.
All of them only have a cooldown without limited uses.

Eagle air strike being my personal fav. Ever since i've got that stratagem, i've been pushing that one into basically every deployment i did since then.
Removes heavy armor, can be used for crowd control, can destroy multilple nests/factories at once. Bomb stuff up to 3 times, then only wait 2 minutes for the cooldown or what it was.

Firepower wise they're extremely good, very situational just like any other strategem.

It's an exo suit. Not a tank

I've been using it on suicide without issues. you save your rockets for heavy targets. kills bile titans with 3-4 rockets. oh, and contrary to what people in discussions have been saying it does have a melee stomp attack. press F

Exactly. Heavy targets get the rockets. Besides that, short butts with the mg. No tanking unnecessary hits

if any thing its under powered it runs out of ammo so quickly above lvl 7 difficult

i would defo like to see the Supply Pack give a % of bullets back not rockets like 4 packs of ammo from the backup will give like 5% ammo or something

hope a dev see this comment it a good balance to allow the supply pack to be more useful as well allow the mech to go a tad longer in way harder levels

[Payton Of Dion]

imo it just needs more armor or health. idc amount of ammo it has. Right now it just dies comically quickly. for context I play solo hell dive and 5 man stack 50 hell dives. Its not a "Skill issue" Its a balance issue.

Nah, Mechs are too OP in lower difficulties. Every noob and their mom is using them.

It used to be a challenge on challenging, but now it's trivial.

[Vexille]

people calling skill issue outing themselves that they've never touched helldivers 1.

Mechs could take a beating in 1. They weren't invincible but they didn't topple over.

I've been noticing they're making a lot of the items from the original game just worse variants (Recoilless comes to mind) and I don't get why they're keen on nerfing them.

[spliff]

the mech is super! two rockets kill a charger, 3-4 kill a bile titan, and the 1000 units of extra-freedom are great as well.

edit: you need to protect your mechs. they're not meant to be tanks. was the same in the first game. whoever says otherwise has bad memory.

[Rilgar55]

Im guessing you are using it vs automatons? I think mechas will be good vs bugs but autoamtons will probably clap your ass.
