Just when you thoughtHelldivers 2couldn’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 fromPacific Rim.
It’s an idea that has everyone ready to cancel their plans and dive 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!

The post by u/hummingbird1346 features an image of the legendary Gipsy Danger fromGuillermo del Toro‘sPacific Rim, and it’s enough to make anyHelldivers 2player’s heart skip a beat:
The idea of a melee-focused Exo has clearly struck a chord with the community, with players already fantasizing about the epic battles they could have:
For those unfamiliar, the Hive Lord is a massive, terrifying Terminid enemy from the originalHelldiversthat serves as one of the game’s toughest bosses. The prospect of going toe-to-toe with one of these behemoths in aPacific 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 proposedPacific Rim-inspiredHelldivers 2Exo 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 lies the problem: if this Exo is as overpowered as we’re all imagining,Arrowheadwill 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 suchHelldivers 2mechsare for Arrowhead to worry about. As for us? We just want to live out ourPacific Rimfantasies and punch some bugs in the face. Is that too much to ask?
What do you think about the idea of aPacific Rim-inspired melee Exo inHelldivers 2? Would you be willing to fight your squadmates for a chance to pilot one? Let us know in the comments below!
