Summary
Helldivers 2does not skimp on the action, as the game has quickly become known for its intense, but incredibly fun, combat. Blasting through Terminids and Automatons inHelldivers 2in order to protect one’s way of life on Super Earth makes for some thrilling missions. Since its launch back in February,Helldivers 2has featured a series of fun updates to the gameplay, and one of the best so far has been the addition of giant mechs.
Theintroduction of mechs toHelldivers 2has seriously upped the ante when it comes to venturing out onto the battlefield, but these mech suits can be taken even further.Helldivers 2features a diverse array of awesome weapons. From the Breaker to the Grenade Pistol, the game boasts an exciting variety of guns to choose from, but there is one weapon type missing fromHelldivers 2: melee weapons.
Mechs Hold the Key to Introducing Melee Weapons in Helldivers 2
Since launch, melee weapons have been missing fromHelldivers 2, and there is a very good reason for that. Swinging a blade or mace ata swarm ofHelldivers 2’s Terminidsthat are closing in on a player just isn’t an efficient way to fight such intense onslaughts of enemies. However, putting a melee weapon in the hands of a mech could really turn up the dial on fighting with these Stratagems.
Putting Melee Weapons in the Hands of Mechs
Not only do mechs present the chance for melee weapons to finally make their way into the game, but they would just be incredibly cool. Hacking and slashing through Terminids and Automatons with a giant Super Earth-approved sword seems like a perfect progression for the mech suits. With recent rumors thatWarlords are about to be reprised forHelldivers 2, the mechs need to be taken up a notch.
Warlords are massive mech enemies that were featured in the firstHelldiversgame, and if they actually return as rumors suggest, then there is a new terrifying threat on the horizon. These Warlords are at the top of Cyborg society, and they are a force to be reckoned with. In addition to the impending Warlords, there have been several rumors aboutwhat faction will come toHelldivers 2next, and any new enemy that makes its way into the game needs to be met with bigger and better fighting mechanics.
Mechs were officially added toHelldivers 2a month after the game’s initial launch.
A Melee Mech Would Be More Balanced
Fighting with a melee weapon as a lone Helldiver on the battlefield is hard to justify. But putting melee weapons in the hands of mech suits would offer a more balanced method to utilize the weapon type in a way that actually makes sense. Also,Helldivers 2players are limitedby the mech suit’s health. This would force players to really strategize with a melee mech instead of just hacking and slashing as one wishes. There would still need to be careful thought put into each attack.
As the fight for managed democracy continues throughout the galaxy,Super Earth will need to do everything in its powerto fight off the treacherous threats that continue to endanger the planet’s way of life. Mechs have been incredibly valuable on the battlefield, so it’s time to bring the fight up close and personal to Terminids, Automatons, and whoever or whatever comes next.
