The High Tech History of Helldivers Exosuits

[@mystery_exe]

The Emancipator has 30mm Autocannons and the obsidian only had 20mm. Overall, I don't know about the patriot, but the Emancipator is definitely a direct upgrade in terms of firepower. Also the devs have confirmed that the Lumberer is coming to the game. Eventually.

[@bal-bug-synth]

FINALLY I have been waiting for the Lumberer for months and was worried that it was not going to be added ;v; Guess I'll have to be more patient now

[@mystery_exe]

@buggy_bal They said "not anytime soon", but that was three or four months ago and considering they just added the Lumberers main gun in form of the AT-Emplacement it might actually be coming in the next few months already.

[@bal-bug-synth]

@@mystery_exe well I'm happy that at least they'll someday add it in the future at least

[@jamesThebulbmin]

​@@mystery_exewell they actually added the heavy flamer as well with the flame turret All that AH would need to do would be to put a AT emplacement and a flame turret on a mech

[@gamecavalier3230]

​@@mystery_exeIsn't the AT emplacement basically just a _really_ big Autocanon?

[@Typhoon.Two-1]

The slit visor is probably a redundancy, mechs probably use camera system that feed to monitors in the cockpit. And speaking of redundancies, the mechs also have an escape hatch on top, should the mech fall on it's back, the pilot won't be trapped inside.

[@sentv7401]

Helldivers 1 suits also had a small launcher that allowed you to call in the stratagems from the suit, without the need to leave it

[@heyaple]

So we get downgraded versions of a mech that was being used 100 years ago.

[@Wootelite1]

No stories from grandpa 😢

[@Eggzrgoood]

Granspa fell :(

[@better-shotgun]

Truly the video is incomplete

[@xdocgreenthumb2967]

I worry for little Billy. He’s on an Exosuit factory line isn’t he?

[@benjaminstiles]

😭😭😭

[@Cakefinder]

I feel like at this point if they do bring back the lumberer it will be in a warbond

[@moroblizniak4457]

Well we got stratagems in warbond previously and community didnt absolutley melt down, so i guess its a possibility. I dont mind tho i have 4kSC i need to spend them on something... If i really like warbond i will also just pay real money for it or give a friend little suprise.

[@Gl0ckb1te]

​@@moroblizniak4457 i thoght i was the only one! I dont mind paying real money for warbonds and gift them out too. Its so rare to see such a good developer treat its players wallets with respect so i throw them a bone

[@bl0ccr4fter24]

I really hope that those open spots on the inside of the mech's hull would be updated to have extra ammo so that you can reload the arms. You could hold in the reload button while inside the mech and select the arm to be reloaded from the popup menu (similar to the menu we get when holding reload on the autocannon for example), and it could work like a magazine fed gun would, where it drops out the old ammo boxes/drums whether they're still filled with ammo or not, and replaces them with the new boxes/drums. To balance the massive amount of ammo out, the 'magazine' capacity could be reduced by around 20%, and the reloading process could take 5-8 seconds, so that you'd try to leave combat before performing the reload. For obvious reasons the rocket launcher on the Patriot would have to work differently

[@Lotus23221]

Why not have the pelican fly in to reload it? Sounds better to me. But I do get your point, it would be really cool to reload it yourserlf. Also having the side parts open for you to insert the ammo in would be better for safety reasons.

[@lowtan14]

@Lotus23221 That's what I was thinking too

[@Algo2-2-3]

Call in mech stratagem and then you get a resupply objective stratagem like the eagle rearm, the pelican takes the mech for 3:30 minutes rearms and repairs the mech

[@Lotus23221]

Hey Nate me again. The Autocannons on the Emancipator have all togheter 25 rounds in 4 turret shaped ammo boxes on the sides facing the main body of the mech.

[@ChibiChubbster]

Those exosuits have a part attached to it where you can still call down stratagems and the stratagem ball will pop out of the mechanism on the shoulder.

[@e.l.4409]

I want the Helldivers II version of the Lumberer to have a flamethrower on one arm and a giant chainsaw on the other.

[@squgieman]

everyone forgets about the humble wolverine walker from command and conquer

[@Fireknight21]

About the ammo for the emancipated, there is at least 60 rounds in the back pack for the auto cannon support weapon, I could easily see there being 100 or 200 rounds in those boxes if their stored right

[@HughCok]

The cannons also have a Box Attached to them. Also for my own suspension of disbelief, the Emancipator has a significantly larger shoulder part, which could possibly contain some ammo.

[@DrPotato0]

Maybe it has a similar system to that of the modern day F-35 where it has a Head Mounted Display that allows the helldiver to see through the suit

[@peteconradjr.8605]

I think the 40k dreadnoughts go insane first, don't they?

[@nimblemesh]

Yes unless it's a primaries redemptor or a leviathan

[@V1UltrakilI]

Ah yes, the Taekwondo System

[@NoahHensley-r6r]

Bold of you to assume the auto cannon tries to make sense, the auto cannon turret ejects casings longer than its ammo box

[@truefell4858]

If you look down at the cockpit you can see that there is a cylinder-looking block with what looks like a camera on it. So this maybe a main block that provides sight for the Helldiver inside

[@Lotus23221]

they're cute! If u ever had a diver on top of the exo u were piloting u know. BUT THEY'RE SO CUTE!!!

[@Lotus23221]

wait... HOW DO WE GET UP THERE?! we just teleport in the animations thats why I find it suspicious.

[@nimblemesh]

They like dreadnoughts frend shaped:)

[@Macintoshiba]

EXO52 about to have an anti tank emplacement + flamethrower sentry arm combo

[@pishly8768]

This is delicious content, you are an awesome person for making this

[@Burger_Burglar]

In the first game the rockets aren't anti tank on the exo44 and the obsidian isn't explosive so they are indeed upgraded from helldivers 1

[@jonothanrennert3098]

I have a feeling that the arms of the mechs are interchangeable so that they can be used outside of combat for other purposes. My immediate thought was a forklift type purpose

[@VectorGhost]

They already confirmed thr lumbard is coming

[@Iteration456-8_codename_goblin]

FOR THE EMPEROR!!! I HAVE MESOTHELIOMA!!!🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@Dark_trial5]

Basically they decided to get the old exosuit from the first galactic war and change them ig

[@mitchellmatthews9211]

Dont forget that you could use strategems without leaving the suit in the first game

[@moroblizniak4457]

Warrhammer dreadnought is CLEARLY inspiration for automatons Hulks. I mean look at it, it looks almost the same.

[@acezero8132]

Ii think it's more inspired by the M11 exosuit from Starship Troopers (3rd movie)- which is the bigger inspiration for this game.

[@elliottprehn6342]

4:29 THEN YOU ARE VIABLE FOR FINANCIAL COMPENSATION

[@BaileyBecca]

They only have to carry 50 rounds per box per arm. Thsts about how much the helldiver back pack carries so I can see it working if it’s stored more compactly

[@user-KR386]

The Exo-45 "Patriot" is so fun against the bugs. I love the fact that when I run out of ammo I can step on the small bugs. Bile Titans get introduced to Democracy 💥. For Democracy and Super Earth.

[@jinxclaessen1544]

i hope they add a mech bay in the destroyer where you can pick n choose what weapons to add to the mech and maybe a secondary welder weapon with wich you can repair turrets and vehicles call it the arc welder or smt maybe even use the ammo backpack to refill the turret/vehicle ammo

[@SirBombcat28]

on the emancipator the 100 shoots are split up on the 4 cannons making it 25 per cannon

[@masy9595]

I'm actually pretty sure the exosuits were based on the Mantis suits from Halo 4

[@TheMorbose]

Actually I think that window is not the main means of vision, on the "crotch" area is a horizontal drum with a camera in it. Window may be more for emergency. Also that window may be a series of sensors behind the glass.

[@NicNewson]

Nate, you are Awesome! Thank you again diver.

[@mitchellmatthews9211]

They should let you externally reload the guns so they last longer

[@zssdfounder4607]

Something you didn't account for is that the mech variants from HD1 where slightly slower than a helldiver who is not dashing while in HD2 the mech is as fast a a light armer helldiver going full sprint.

[@LeroxYT]

I really really want the big flamethrower walker 🔥🔥

[@yuzeles]

Bro they could have made them 4 legged two auto cannons with 5 tube missile launcher on top, alongside a machine gun with extended mag along with extended ahoulders for more ammo storage

[@isaakstrong2204]

A MECH WITH TWO ARC THROWERS FOR GUNS!!!(nvm sorry for speaking, I'll keep my ideas to myself)

[@sedeuphadude80]

The Helldivers 1 exosuits don't have doors on the back. They're just open. Helldivers 2 exosuits are total upgrades.

[@nimblemesh]

Alright so i just want a dreadnought sized heavy mech it can be as slow as the devs want but it has to be able to dominate everything like if your team is defending a point and youre close enough you can call in the dreadmech and just start raining hellfire on the enemy with like 60mm hmgs and rockets that just look insane hell maybe even some weapon customisation the devs can even limit it to the highest difficulties

[@KN1FED4NCE]

Is this concept inspired by the 1st Colonial Regiment Science Videos?

[@cowman2233]

We should see a engineering video on the automations.

[@WisdomThumbs]

Water can't be compressed, so it wouldn't work in those leg hydraulics. That's why mechs are full of combustible oil!

[@manuelcordoba5394]

Will you ever make another lore video for hd1 and hd2 weapons evolution and the evolution of the illuminates through the two

[@МАКС-о4м3р]

you forgot to say that the patriot and the walker have different missiles, the walker can move a little to the side of the enemy

[@squgieman]

also there are only 50 rounds per gun on the autocannon version

[@jamesThebulbmin]

Its 100 per gun Before it was 75

[@OneFrostyBoi484]

⁠@jamesThebulbminno. there are two guns on each arm, each gun has 50 rounds. One arm has 100 combined rounds combined to 200.

[@jamesThebulbmin]

@@OneFrostyBoi484 I just checked and I am correct 100 on each arm

[@OneFrostyBoi484]

@jamesThebulbmin yes it’s 100 per arm, but it’s only 50 per gun

[@the24thcolossusjustchillin39]

Isn’t the Emacipators cannons 40mm?

[@CPLCodename]

Yes they are 40mm

[@nimblemesh]

​@CPLCodename P A T R I O T I C

[@BrickBean]

Helldivers 1 mechs were better cause you got throw stratagems from inside them

[@IncendiaryQuail]

Video is GLUTEN, ehehehe....

[@xdocgreenthumb2967]

Could you use Stratagem’s from all the old Exo suits? Weird downgrade
