SUMMARY
- Helldivers 2 developers ask players to work together to unlock the new mech suit.
- Players are asked to liberate Tien Kwan together.
Helldivers 2 currently has a massive player event ongoing right now. After an exciting announcement about vehicles and mech suits coming to the co-op shooter, it seems like Arrowhead Studios has other plans.
While players are excited about the mech suits, the developers don’t want them to be handed out easily. The developers have tasked the players with spreading more democracy and liberation to unlock the vehicles.
Helldivers 2 players need to work together to unlock Mech Suits
According to a recent post by the Helldivers 2 official X account, Tien Kwan needs players to spread democracy. Lore wise, the mechs are being produced in Tien Kwan factories. However, after a bigger presence of enemies, the planet has to be liberated before the production of mechs can resume.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Our factories are under attack, halting all output. Helldivers have been deployed to liberate Tien Kwan! pic.twitter.com/NM4A26jZlh

It seems like players have a massive fight ahead of them before they can unlock the beloved mech suits. The official post mentions that the production has been halted and the ‘on the battlefield soon’ has been struck off. The developers want to make this a fun experience for all players to work together toward a common goal instead of just letting them unlock the mech suits. The reaction to this event has been nothing but positive with many players loving how they have to unlock the mechs.
New vehicles coming to Helldivers 2
A recent leak on YouTube showcased a lot more content that was coming to Helldivers 2 and most of it has been confirmed by the developers. Fans are in for some very interesting additions to the game.
There are 3 confirmed vehicles coming to the game. Two variations of Mech Suits, one with autocannons and one with a missile launcher. The other vehicle is a 4×4 buggy that can seat four Helldivers and has a mounted turret on top.
There are also 4 new weapons which are mostly crowd control weapons. They are:
- ARC-12 Blitzer: A shotgun that fires a huge burst of electricity that can chain-jumps between anybody in its range, friend or foe.
- SG-8P Punisher Plasma: A modified version of the Punisher shotgun that fires exploding plasma rounds. This weapon can also injure teammates.
- CB-9 Exploding Crossbow: A crossbow that fires exploding bolts, doing maximum damage on direct contact. The bolts are affected by gravity.
- R-36 Eruptor: A bolt-action rifle that fires rocket rounds that release shrapnel upon impact. Simply put, a cluster bomb launcher. Best to avoid use in close quarters.
These high-risk, high-reward weapons would be highly welcome in the current Helldivers 2 meta after the nerf to the beloved railgun, which left some fans fuming.
