Please ArrowHead, make it so we can use both mecha at the same time.

I was excited at how fun it will be to be able to use one different type of mech at a time, like oh, im running low on auto cannon mech, let me call in patriot now !

And i think it should, it will be fun, i was a BIG fan of using mech on helldivers 1, had 2 most of the time, i don't think it would be OP to have this option on Helldivers 2, it will just be fun for me !

Edit : I didn't try the mech yet, i will say tho, look like you have more advantage against bots than bugs, and patriot has more advantage against bugs than bots.

Why ?

Autocannon : can shoot the bots body and deal damage without any problem, can shoot hulks in the head and shoot down drop ship easily (if it has the same armor penetration than normal autocannon) against charger and bile titan tho...and a horde of hunter will be harder to aim than the patriot exosuit.

Patriot Exosuit : you have anti-tank missile, which can 2 shot head of a titan if it land there and can kill charger, you have a a limited amount of them tho, hard to aim, so against hulk it's fairly fine, but against the flying shooting ship, it will be way less efficient, your minigun can't penetrate most bots defense unless you hit weakpoints, which make it fairly bad against them, but you can easily take down a horde of bugs/fast hunter.

tell the dropship guy to load the other mech when it deploys the first one!

MEME responses to a legitimate concern.

I hope this will change when the free trial expires because I could see new players wanting to enjoy themselves in this manner and you could bring four of them back in the HD1 days.

To add to that, if it can only load 1, then where does the second one come from ?..

So, it load one, then drop one, and go recharge for 600 seconds, right ? and that's why "you can't have 2 different type of mech" from what i understand you said DarkEternal and we only have 1 dropship for mech. but then, how come if your teammate as a mech, you can call both at a time ? doesn't that mean there is multiple pilot to drop mechs ? then why can't you have both and just have fun you know

Yeah, that was just so much fun, i really loved using multiple mecha when i did use them

[GHDW]

Be a true supporter and accept all changes without complaining!
You should kiss their feet for allowing even one mech!

[Rockethead293]

yes. there are multiple pilots, because there's one pelican per super destroyer

[A. Crow]

Very, very disappointed you can only bring 1 mech at a time for a mission.
That's not how the first game worked and I don't understand the "in universe" rationale.
Is this a design choice that increases fun? Why do this?
I can take 2 sentries, 2 support weapons, 2 orbitals, 2 eagles, 2 backpack items
I cannot take 2 mechs.

Fair enough, still feel like it's not really fun, and i honestly don't think having 2 mecha is OP, you have limited amount of ammo, only 2 at most per game, can still be destroyed, and are pretty well balance in my opinion, if you get swarm fairly often, even on diff 5 and more, you can run out of ammo very fast without even accomplishing 1 objective, depending on how your team is doing, and at most do 2 objective with 1 mech

[Riqcrow]

would love support stratagem that would drop a platform that autoloads ammo into suits, otherwise those lovely things are too short-lived. or even better, let us choose the loadout, like 50mm cannon on other arm and flamer on another.

Yeah same, i was waiting to get my 3 mech combo like in helldivers 1. (in helldivers 1 you could actually take multiple time the same stratagems, so you could have 4 time the same mecha or 3 different and 1 copy but considering that's not the case in HD2, i at least expected to be able to take 2 different mecha but nope) (and yes i do say 3 mech combo because they are working on another mech that as flame thrower and i don't know what with it, if im correct, didn't really follow the news much)

[Lacky]

There is no rly good reason to not give us more mechs at one mission... thats only fun reduction. I started the game today and the first i do was to choose both mechs cause i want to play a mech pilot now, then i get anoying because of this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ choose one.... now i close the game and play something other.... maybe next week they do it better, this was the last time they trick me with ♥♥♥♥ (like the raptor debuff) now ive enoght i play something else and whatch this from a more distance perspective...

[Firecam]

You expected to have fun on this game ? We don't do that here sir.

[MadRooster]

yeah i just realized why the ♥♥♥♥ i am not allowed to bring more than 1 mech? is it another "Balancing" issue from your incompetent balancing team? FFS im done with this game GAMES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FUN DISTRACTIONS ffs is not a pvp game
