Helldivers 2 Looks to Pacific Rim for Incredible New Mech and It’d Definitely Result in Lobby Arguments

Just when you thought Helldivers 2 couldn’t get any more epic, a recent suggestion on the official subreddit has the community ecstatic. A Redditor has proposed a melee-focused Exo suit that draws inspiration from none other than the iconic Jaegers from Pacific Rim.

It’s an idea that has everyone ready to cancel their plans and ***** back into the fray, picturing themselves stomping across the battlefield in their very own SEAF-commissioned Jaeger, swatting away Terminids and Automatons like they’re nothing more than pesky flies!

Helldivers 2 Meets Pacific Rim: A Match Made in Mech Heaven

The post by u/hummingbird1346 features an image of the legendary Gipsy Danger from Guillermo del Toro‘s Pacific Rim, and it’s enough to make any Helldivers 2 player’s heart skip a beat:

For those unfamiliar, the Hive Lord is a massive, terrifying Terminid ****** from the original Helldivers that serves as one of the game’s toughest bosses. The prospect of going toe-to-toe with one of these behemoths in a Pacific Rim-style Jaeger is enough to make any Helldiver drool in anticipation.

But why stop there? Some players are already brainstorming ways to make this hypothetical Exo even more incredible:

A massive shield that doubles as mobile cover for your squad? Sign us up! Of course, with great power comes great responsibility, and some players are already anticipating the chaos that could ensue:

Can you imagine trying to coordinate a synchronized stratagem input in the heat of battle with a teammate who doesn’t even have a mic? It can be quite stressful, but with a Jaeger on your side those fears will melt away.

The Only Problem? Getting Out of the Dang Thing

As incredible as this proposed Pacific Rim-inspired Helldivers 2 Exo sounds, there’s one glaring issue that the community has already identified: once someone gets in, they’re not going to want to get out.

And can you blame them? Who wouldn’t want to spend an entire mission stomping around in a giant mech, laying waste to everything in their path? But therein ***** the problem: if this Exo is as overpowered as we’re all imagining, Arrowhead will most likely have to limit it to one per mission to maintain some semblance of balance.

Cue the lobby arguments. “But I called dibs!” “No, it’s my turn!” “You’ve been hogging it all night!” The potential for drama is endless, but honestly, it’s a small price to pay for the sheer joy of piloting a Jaeger in the game.

Of course, the balancing and logistics of implementing such Helldivers 2 mechs are for Arrowhead to worry about. As for us? We just want to live out our Pacific Rim fantasies and punch some bugs in the face. Is that too much to ask?

What do you think about the idea of a Pacific Rim-inspired melee Exo in Helldivers 2? Would you be willing to ****** your squadmates for a chance to pilot one? Let us know in the comments below!
