A sequel to the original title released a decade ago, Helldivers 2 has attracted a huge audience since releasing on Feb. 8 and has remained strong despite a flurry of server issues that have severely impacted players.

If you’ve been looking for Mechs in Helldivers 2, you might have experienced some confusion, but we’re here to clear that up.

There are no Mechs in Helldivers 2 at launch, but the feature is set to be introduced in a future update.

The original Helldivers game featured three different Mechs that could be called in using Stratagems, providing a huge increase in firepower. But these Exosuits have not been included in the launch of Helldivers 2.

Mechs are coming to Helldivers 2, though, with it already teased they will be added in a future update as part of the commitment to provide regular new additions to Helldivers 2.

When are Mechs coming to Helldivers 2?

No specific date has been set for the introduction of Mechs in Helldivers 2, but players have been told to expect them to land “soon after launch,” and a recent leak only reinforces that statement.

A trailer for Helldivers 2 was showcased in PlayStation’s State of Play in January, teasing the arrival of the EXO-44 Walker Exosuit, a popular Stratagem from the first Helldivers title.

The latest leak also showed a fully functioning EXO-48 Exosuit in action, implying that Mechs are almost ready to join the battlefield. The same leak claimed multiple Mechs are coming to Helldivers 2 that appear to be modular and will allow you to switch out the weaponry as you see fit.

Developer Arrowhead Games could provide a more precise release date for Mechs in Helldivers 2 as part of the upcoming roadmap for the title, which is in the works. But no precise window for the reveal of the Helldivers 2 roadmap has been shared.
