In the war for liberty and freedom,Helldivers 2players have been crushing bugs and dismantling bots with an arsenal that would make any intergalactic arms dealer green with envy. But as any seasoned diver knows, there’s always room for improvement when it comes to spreading managed democracy across the galaxy.
Recently, the community has been abuzz with ideas on how to make the EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit (affectionately known as the “Mech”) even more formidable. From increased firepower to enhanced mobility, the suggestions have been as varied as they are creative.
But one particular idea has caught the imagination of Helldivers everywhere, promising to add a whole new dimension to close-quarters combat. And all we ask of Arrowhead is that they take note!
A Mace-ive Improvement forHelldivers 2Mechs
TheHelldivers 2community never ceases to amaze with its creativity, and a recent post on the r/helldivers2 subreddit has taken that ingenuity to new heights. Redditor u/printermcgee shared a video that’s equal parts hilarious and inspiring:
Set to the glorious “A Cup of Liber-Tea”theme, the video showcases a toy mech equipped with a chain mace, absolutely demolishing a paper cup adorned with the Terminid logo. It’s a masterpiece of low-budget special effects that would make even the most seasoned Helldiver proud.
I Have an Idea That Can Instantly Solve Helldivers 2 Friendly Fire Problem
The community’s reaction was swift and enthusiastic:
Indeed, perfection might be an understatement. The idea of a mech wielding a massive Morningstar Mace is not just cool—it’s practically radiating freedom.
But why stop at a mace? Some Helldivers have even grander visions:
It seems the spirit of the Doom Slayeris alive and well in theHelldivers 2community. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to channel a little of that demon-slaying energy when facing down hordes of bugs and bots?
Beyond the Mace: A Wishlist for Mech Mayhem
While the Morningstar Mace has captured many imaginations, it’s far from the only suggestion for improving our beloved mechs. Some divers are dreaming even bigger:
A chainsword and a high-capacity HMG? Now if that isn’t a balanced breakfast of democracy and destruction, we don’t know what is! It’s clear that games likeWarhammer 40K: Space Marine 2have left their mark on the Helldivers community, reminding us all of thesimple joys of carving through alien hordeswith a roaring Chainsword.
Helldivers 2 Succeeded Where Space Marine 2 Failed Because Unlike the Ultramarines, Divers Feed on “Unapologetic evil lunacy of Super Earth”
But perhaps the most intriguing suggestion comes from a Helldiver with a penchant for teamwork:
Now, while we can’t quite achieveTitanfalllevels of mech-pilot synergy, thereisa way to live out your mech-riding fantasies inHelldivers 2. With a well-timed jump with the Lift-850 Jump Pack, you can actually land on top of a fellow diver’s mech.
It’s not exactly stable, and you’re more likely to fall off before you pull off any heroic feats, but it’s a thrill that every Helldiver should experience at least once.
Helldivers 2: Forget Malevelon Creek, Divers Need to Talk about the “Meridia PTSD”
AsArrowheadcontinues to refine and expandHelldivers 2, who knows what exciting new features we might see added to our arsenal? One thing’s for sure—whether it’s a Morningstar Mace, a Chainsword, or just more dakka, the community will be ready to wield it in the name of democracy.
What do you think? Should mechs get a melee weapon, or are you happy with the current loadout? Let us know in the comments below—and remember, the only good bug is a squashed bug!
