Helldivers 2 Mech Guide | How to Stomp and More Secrets!

Here is everything I learned about Mechs after testing them for 24 hours. This is based on my mech gameplay, I live streamed partial of this testing and found out tons of info on them. I can't wait until new mechs come to helldivers 2. #helldivers2 #mechs

I kinda love what they’ve done with the mech. You’re not invincible and you need teamwork to use it effectively. I feel like it encourages modern tank-style tactics. You really need infantry to screen and support it, while it provides heavy firepower in the back. Real combined arms stuff here.

Little warning about chargers: if you shoot them with a rocket and it looks like they get stopped, move to the side. I dont know if its a glitch or what but when you "stun" one with a rocket mid charge they will sometimes slide forward super fast and fuckin animation cancel into their stupid little slam, therefore one shotting your mech. Be careful my fellow mech lovers

From all the testing we've seen, Crit damage only occurs if you get hit in the head. Your head has helmet armor that doesn't change regardless which type of body armor you wear, what would be nice is that they start differentiating helmet armor to reduce crit damage for heavy armored helmets, give light armor advantages maybe like higher precision, or other built in tech bonuses like additional HUD information, etc.

There's just so much effective kit and playstyle you can bring to bugs that just doesn't work with bots I think. As long as a few roles are covered you can be pretty flexible. I've barely been playing bots this past week in comparison, it just isn't as fun

[vzero]

Important to note that the mech takes very little damage from the charger if it hits your sides, while you’re much more vulnerable if hit head on.

I have definetly killed hulks with one rocket to the face. Great video!

Important info for your damage testing. A white hit indicator means you're not fully penetrating the armor and are doing roughly 50% damage. A red hit indicator means you're fully penetrating the mech armor and doing full damage. A Ricochet indicator means you're not doing damage with the bullet (aoe can still be doing damage, like with the scorcher).

2:50 OMFG so that's why those 2 times I called a mech it just exploded; I had no idea because I was distracted with other things just to later see a mech in flames after calling one...

[estellese_]

Not just mountains, I have seen the bots shooting through walls too. I am 95% certain they can sometimes see through solid objects. But I am unsure what triggers it, because it is not always the case.

Love mechs except when the the missile glitch happens

[stevenjackson]

Pretty sure mechs take damage walking through anything in the environment. Had a mech explode on Meridia walking through some trees. My favorite use of the mech is to use an arc thrower and a jump pack and to use the mech as a mobile high ground so you can arc your shots over corpses and bushes. Who needs the Tesla tower when you are the Tesla tower.

From what I learned by using my titan… I mean mech is to call em in right before engaging an objective and when you or your team calls in extraction and the mech really does shine the most when it comes to “Crowd control” despite being a glass cannon imo and while shooting missiles, try not to turn just be as stationary as possible Ik how frustrating it can be blowing up randomly specially in crucial situations 😂 I’m still tryna learn how to be more effective with the mech too lol

[Chris.Tamayo]

Crazy idea but it would be kind of fun - on top of changing crit damage with explosives - make mechs come instantly like you call the stratagem and the mech literally lands on you and your shooting because one issue right now against bots is you have to wait for the mech to land then you get in and have to wait 3 seconds to start shooting and by that time you get exploded

[highlander]

I only use the mech against automatons during the defense missions since sometimes there is a tight path you can just unload on while hiding behind cover

[TysonMakoaWickes]

What HUD setting to make the samples always show?

[michaelangelocobra]

This explains why when I called my mech in and turned around for 2 seconds just to turn back around and it was burnt to a crisp

[averageeughenjoyer]

They have to either make you able to reload them with the supply pack or add a dash so it’s worth taking

[scootyman]

I think the way it has to be used is less like a tanky mech suit and more of a heavy guns platform it’s heavy firepower like turrets but mobile and you can pick out the targets

[richardpinter]

Mech customisation would be awesome(flamethrower / riot shield / rail gun etc...). Is it possible to "attach" stuff to mechs(sentry or shield backpack player laying down on top) ? Probably no, and cause damage to the mech or bounce off like the terminid Charger. Sorry if this was tested, no subtitles available and work in a busy/loud environment.

8:25 bugs actually headshot you a lot more than you might realize, and it's not even the spewers that are the problem. Stalkers and brood mothers can occasionally headshot you with their swipes which will usually just straight up kill you in light armor, and hunters headshot very often with their leap attack. Also, if you're on the ground for any reason, like you dove or got ragdolled, any bug can headshot you pretty easily. Apart from that, you also take crit damage from fall/impact damage if you land on your head so getting ragdolled by a crusher or stalker and flying headfirst into a wall will often kill as well. Removing crit damage from players would make a huge difference even vs bugs and honestly I'm completely for it.
