The reward for completing this week’s Major Order in Helldivers 2 could be a game-changer. By liberating Varylia 5 in the Trigon Sector from the Automaton forces, players can unlock the EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit. As per Helldivers 2 narrative, the Automaton Petafactory on this planet will be converted into this new exosuit’s production factory.
Fans believe that this new Stratagem is far stronger than the existing EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit thanks to its dual autocannon. As compared to Patriot Exosuit’s mini-gun, the autocannon is far more accurate and effective against enemies particularly armored ones. The latest Major Order is the only barrier between the players and this new exosuit so make sure you do your part as an Helldiver to unlock this suit.
Helldivers 2‘s latest Stratagem, EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit, is much better than the Patriot Exosuit
Currently, Helldivers 2 players have only one Exosuit in the game called EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit, but that could change if players complete the latest Major Order. If that happens, a new production factory for the EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit will be set up in Varylia 5, allowing players to get their hands on this strong piece of tech.
The existing Exosuit is equipped with fourteen rockets and a mini-gun while the new Exosuit comes with a dual-autocannon. In terms of looks, the new Exosuit is very similar to the existing one but the auto-cannons are believed to be far more effective against a horde of enemies as compared to Patriot Exosuit’s minigun. Picking the Emancipator Exosuit over Patriot Exosuit would certainly make more sense as players often find themselves in situations where they are getting mauled by a horde of bugs or bots.
How does the EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit perform against a Bile Titan?
The Helldivers 2 is community is quite excited about the new Exosuit, particularly because of its exceptional abilities. This suit has by lying around in the game’s files for quite some time now so players have already performed all the necessary tests. In a Reddit post made by Emptynesz, the player revealed some information about the Stratagem.
Since the Emancipator Exosuit has 2 uses and a cooldown time of 600s, players need to make sure that they use this unit wisely on the battlefield. As per the test performed by the player, it’s quite clear that the Exosuit is weak against heavily armored enemies like Bile Titan as it has low damage and low armor piercing abilities. In this video posted by Current on YouTube, players can understand exactly how this exosuit performs against a Bile Titan.
Nonetheless, the exosuit will be useful against weaker enemies, allowing players to clear out paths for their teammates. Although some players may find this Stratagem weak, it’s a necessary addition to the game as Helldivers 2 has witnessed a sharp decline in its popularity recently. Hopefully, this will convince many players to return to the game.
Helldivers 2 is available on Windows and PlayStation 5.
