Listen to our podcast, One More Life!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What may have shifted plans was the huge surge in players. The game has constantly been jostling for the top spot at the top of Steam, while also shifting three million copies across PlayStation and PC. But could a new leak suggest mechs are coming sooner than anticipated?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Read on for all the latest developments regarding mechs in Helldivers 2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why are people talking about Helldivers 2 mechs?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A supposed leak of mech gameplay in Helldivers 2 has fuelled speculation that giant machines will added to the game soon. This first stemmed on Facebook before going viral on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Helldivers\/comments\/1b28cyd\/mechs_enjoy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reddit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> from user Fozzye18, who posted gameplay footage of a mech in action. In the clip, we can see the player jumping into the mech\u2019s control unit before initiating its weapons and firing at its surroundings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the user didn\u2019t get too long of time with the mech due to their game crashing, they did share that the mech utilises \u201crockets and machine guns\u201d. The chance encounter was said to come from a random match that the player joined where two other people spawned the machines. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Could this have been the developers at Arrowhead testing mechs out before they were implemented?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Will massive mech suits really come to Helldivers 2?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<iframe title=\"Helldivers 2 - Report for Duty Trailer | PS5 &amp; PC Games\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vXddWD88jeI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, mechs will arrive in Helldivers 2 at some point in future. This was confirmed by Arrowhead during its \u2018Report for Duty\u2019 trailer in January 2024. Apart from the wording \u201ccoming soon after launch\u201d featured in the trailer, the Swedish studio has not revealed any timeline for the roll out of mechs in the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s also worth noting that the original Helldivers <em>did<\/em> feature mechs, so their inclusion certainly isn\u2019t out of the ordinary. There\u2019s a good chance these will work similarly to the first game, where players can call them into action via a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-stratagems\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stratagem<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> code.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Helldivers 2 is available across PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Windows.<\/span><\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"a6db6ba84c3f9b1228e1a54b3c7f2e5117e4dd82\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"a6db6ba84c3f9b1228e1a54b3c7f2e5117e4dd82\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <p><strong>Listen to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/one-more-life-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One More Life podcast<\/a> and subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gaming newsletter<\/a> for all the latest intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
