Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to the launch of Helldivers 2, numerous players are eagerly anticipating upcoming developments in the game, particularly regarding new content. Excitement has heightened even more as a recent leak suggests the imminent arrival of fully functional mechs within the game.
If this revelation has piqued your interest and you are eager to learn more about the leak and its implications for the introduction of mechs in Helldivers 2, keep reading for additional details.
Leaked Video Suggests Helldivers 2 Might Have Playable Mechs in the Future
Mechs made their debut in Helldivers 1, and with the release of Helldivers 2 as a comprehensive overhaul of the game, including a shift in orientation from top-down to a third-person shooter, mechs are currently absent. Nevertheless, a recent leak by a Reddit user, Fozzye18, unveiled a brief 22-second video on the r/Helldivers subreddit, featuring a player maneuvering a mech, exiting and re-entering it, and engaging in weapon firing.
The user mentioned that players can seamlessly switch between rockets and machine guns while piloting the mech. Despite the seemingly authentic footage, its legitimacy remains uncertain.
As per the Reddit user, the situation unfolded during a regular match, where another player started spawning unreleased content. "From what I saw, he had access to their new weapons like an energy RPG coming, a meteorite that hits like the nuke, a group of Helldivers you can call in to support you (NPCs), and more," the user explained. The OP was unsure if it was the work of hackers or perhaps a developer experimenting on a server. Eventually, the game crashed, and the mysterious player's username disappeared.
It's crucial to approach this information with caution until the developers officially confirm the inclusion of mechs in the game. However, considering Occam's razor and considering the presence of mechs in Helldivers 1, coupled with the appearance of a mech in the official trailer released just before the game's launch, it seems plausible that mechs are, at the very least, in the pipeline.
In summary, this is the current information available on the potential return of mechs in Helldivers 2. While the situation is still being investigated, no definite conclusions can be drawn at this time.
