Emancipator Exosuit Mech Tips and Tricks (How To Deal With Bile Titans) Helldivers 2 New Stratagem! 

I'm having a slight mic issue, turn the volume down a bit, my bad, I wanted to upload this though since it dropped today. I'm headed to best buy now to fix mine or get a new one. Sorry, it'll be better in the next upload. Discord discord.gg/yN4AkD4TSx

I originally thought they'd be putting the autocannon sentry gun on the arms. Silly me to think something with a 10 minute cool down would be good. This balance update better buff the mechs. ALSO, the fact that you can't equip both mechs is really disheartening for me.

So, if you just call an autocannon sentry, it's just going to perform better while you get to do whatever.

Sometimes i wonder why they add such a high cooldown time for limited use stratagems... Just remove the cooldown entirely for those ones

devs be like: "use your strategems!" your strategems:

Hopefully when they add new ship modules they let you upgrade these two mechs. The Obsidian walker from the first game was awesome. And back then, you could call in Srategems from inside the suit.

I feel like 3 shots to a charger leg would be acceptable...10 is crazy. Dafuq are the devs thinking recently

Considering it takes up a slot you could use for unlimited 500kg bombs that can instantly take out bile titans, this thing needs a buff

They are called Exo Suits, but they aren't. They are Mechs.

How to deal with bile titans: Get out, ⬇⬇⬅⬆➡

mechs could use smoke dispensers like tanks. once empty you could put your own granades inside, also have a dedicaded dispenser for stratagems that could throw them futher

Damn, AH really needed a win with this one…hell, the players needed a win with this one. The first major order that we’ve completed in a hot minute, and the first stratagem that actually caused some hype since the first mech. At the end of the day, it’s a pretty rough fumble for everyone.

There's a tip for stomping bugs: just walking through small bugs like scavengers will kill them, stomp greatly reduces mobility and the hitbox is difficult to utilize. So don't waste precious ammunition on smaller bugs and when your mech is surrounded by them - just walk in circles and many of them will die.

so it was true. it's pre-nerfed before it comes out. goddamn it alexus

A good tip that I’ve found with using it against the bots is bringing the spear. Once tanks and all cannons are knocked out this thing shreds. I run this, spear, railgun, and airstrike and it feels perfect for me.

one of the biggest problems with the exosuits are that when you're in them your ego goes through the roof only to be thrown down into the grand canyon when you get one shot by a bile or a atutomaton turret because they do not have the fortitude to handle even one of those attacks

Tips to using Exo suit: Use something else.

Gotta Mag dump just to kill ONE BILE TITAN IS CRAZZYY 💀😭

How AH can improve suits: 1. Add stratagem launch system 2. Add jump pack and forward \ side \ back thrust for evading . Limited uses, non rechargeable, no cooldown 3. Rework melee (can be as separate module) 4. add thermal vision or proximity scaner if you have corresponding armor equiped 5. customization (its very much needed for all SGs and weapons ) 6. skins for exos. CAn be sold the same way as armor or added in warbonds. OR make them obtainable through achievments Everything above can be locked behinds ship upgrades and also samples \ slips \ medals can be required for one time use per mission OR even better. Make each mission have a separate one time use unlock for each upgrade. It can be hidden at POIs. Or upgrade can be rewarded for after mission for a specific contract. Damn, there are sooo many options to make it all feel alive...

1:56 a CASEOH canon? 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

You are able to use the guard dogs in the mechs, it’ll just land on the little spot on top and should shoot from there all directions like normal.

IMPORTANT NOTES You can only use one type of mechs per game after the free stratagem trail ends. So if you are a mech lover, cherish upcoming days. No idea why they put up such limit. They are not even the same stratagem. 2 below average together cannot shift balance much.

I'd say while we get the suit every game, throw the other suit in your strategems and run a double suit build, works pretty well.

Wow I am genuinely impressed by this video. It shows me that there is a fundamental problem with the way most Divers are thinking about this game. From all the first impression videos I've seen on the Emancipator, most people come to the conclusion that it is not as effective as it should be. But we are forgetting that the mech is just a tool in our Diver's kit, not an upgrade to the Diver themself. Watching you play and understand what situations the mech is useful in and when not to use it, as well as what strategems to bring along to compliment the mech playstyle, it really makes me rethink my approach to the game and I think others should as well. Thank you.

Its only weakness against Bugs is Bile Titans, but it can deal quickly with them if you or someone in your team hits them with an AT projectile first. Shots don't bounce off Charger’s heavy armor like the regular AC, meaning it has higher penetration. I don't get why everyone is complaining about it. It is not amazing, but it definitely is not thrash.

Honestly, the patriot exosuit is better. At everything. Has twice the potential damage too.

If they want the mechs to stay this weak damage wise at least give them way more health/armour and around double the ammo and make them unlimited call downs on a long timer. They need a rechargeable bubble shield too because bots destroy them super quick

At work, really appreciate an actual breakdown, I'm stuck in civi life until tonight😢

The devs are TERRIFIED with the idea of players being too strong. This game is like Warframe on opposite day.

Over the course of one 40 minute game you can call in 13 Autocannon sentries or 2 Emancipators. Why do they keep releasing stuff that's worse than what we already have?

Like I said to you on a stream, that a cheater/dev spawned this mech in a match for everybody. It is exactely like i tested: bad. Too long to kill a Bile Titan. Reasanable to kill chargers if shooting to the head or legs. Pretty much people not gonna use it.

I played it earlier, I had one strategie: BLAST THOSE GODDAM BUGS TO BITS!

I didn't use the first mech, now I'm definitely not using the second

they should add ship upgrades for the mechs like: add 1 more mech maybe reduce the cooldown higher hp or limb hp more ammo per mech

Interestingly in Helldivers 1, all the Exosuits have a tiny grenade launcher on the top, that shoots out Stratagem beacons so you can use them as normal from inside. As far as I recall it actually had *less* range than a beacon you throw by hand, but that makes sense for balance I guess.

It would be sick if there was a little launcher on the mech that would launch your strategems. Like a little tube launcher coming out of the top that your diver would place the strat ball into from the inside, and would then launch it out. Maybe it would even have a longer range or more linear arc to it so there are benefits to using it.

its alright to me but i think it could use a little bit of tweaking. Perhaps more ammo or damage? Im pretty sure the patriot is aimed mainly for bugs and the emancipator is aimed mainly to bots which could explain the struggle it has for bile titans.

Emancipator MECH tips Use it like a sniper rifle, range is your friend. If melee enemies are in your face aim at the ground a foot to their left or right let the splash damage stagger and kill them, you can't hit them when they're on your nose with your sights directly on them. Always use one arm for the most part to conserve ammo, If it's hulks, chargers, tanks, striders, gunships and lots of enemies in one spot charging at you then use both. Use squad tactics stay close to the squad so they can catch flankers. Tanks and infantry for the win. Also aim at the ground on long distance targets if they're not getting hit when you shot at where their tracers are coming from and they're not dying.

If AH took most/all of the recoil out of firing with the Emancipator, it'd feel much more fun to use. The limited ammo would also be less of an issue. Any tips to save ammo is well appreciated for this mech.

Reckon I'ma jump on the sticks and try this thang out. Might even get drunk, idk

I love the caseoh cannon.

i think exosuit is also immune to napalm strike keep in mind, but overall looks like a chore to use ^^

I want to tell you that the new mech is actually pretty effective against bots while not that good against bugs (AKA: it can "snipe"&desimate any mid-armor bots [the devastator] from afar in a few shot and even Hulks takes 4-8 shot at MAX/ while you dump between 4-40 shot against the medium bugs [the Charger] and 20-60 shot against Bile Titan) while the old mech is pretty effective against bugs while being dog water against bots (AKA: it minigun can sustain fire against the bugs swarm for longer than the new mech [and the rocket USED to 2-4 shot at MAX to the Bile Titan and 1 shot Charger] / while the minigun doing nothing to any mid-armor bots [the devastator] or above and the minigun effecttive range is considably shoter than the new mech {making it insta die to the bots range attack} and the rocket has very limited ammo sure doesn't help against bots at ALL)

love these breakdown videos. Keep up the great work!

Tip, just use the 500kg, it has less cooldown and its faster to use and deals more damage

I think the purpose of exosuits is similar to tanks in modern warfare. They're meant to be used in conjunction with infantry support. They are very durable and will survive alot but will need help to combat some of the beefier enemies, which I dont even necessarily disagree with. I think it can be pretty cool to have an exosuit kind of just vanguard and calling in support to deal with heavy armor. Of course it makes it completely unviable for solo play but alot of things are unviable for solo play.

Idea to potentially make exosuits better and more desirable. Ship module “ exosuit stratagem launcher.” A launcher added to the various exosuits which gives the diver the ability not only to call in stratagems while spreading freedom with the exosuit, but increases overall distance the stratagem launched from the tube will fire. Imagine shooting a 380 barrage into a heavy bot outpost from 150 or so meters away

I like how creative freedom is helping the mech be better. Thanks for the vid! ...you cant save the old one though those rockets are useless.

Both mechs need some love but this is definitely a good way to make this one suck less

Mech is nice combo with personal shield (improves its defense) . And toxic orbital gas (immune to gas).

Good lord it's so bad. Thanks alexus

You MUST be able to use stratagems from inside the mechs, using a tube on the top, as it was in Helldivers, mechs in Helldivers 2 even have a noticeable place for this tube. I have no clue why this isn't in the game. The only point of mechs was to be a thing that makes a part of the run easier and makes you machine of death, in Helldivers 2 mechs are just walking coffins, nothing more

Personally I think that the emancipator exosuit is meant for bots anyway considering that’s what it shows in the stratagem video preview plus it’s decent at taking out devastators and hulks, you don’t even have to aim for the eye. It functions similarly to the autocannon sentry rather than the autocannon support weapon.

New mech is apparently trash according to this gameplay. Thanks for letting us know before we waste a bunch of time unlocking it.

First tip: Just use it to have the pelican do some damage with its own autocannon. Don't bother with the mech itself. Second tip: Use literally anything else.

5:20 You actually can use stratagem in mech in Helldivers 1. So that means sadly they intentionally remove it, not likely to get this feature

I don’t understand why people are mad, if the game is too easy then it’s not fun, if the game is balanced then it’s not fun. The mech is balanced, 150 shots. It should not be killing bile titans in 4-5 shots.

Thanks Thicc. Really nice tips with softening up the Titan and using Orbital Gas Strikes. I can’t wait to try them. I think the EXO will work really well when standing in fire. I know that the EXO-45 can stand right in the middle of a fire tornado and take no visible damage at all (btw, I totally recommend using either of the EXO’s on Menkent/Hellmire for that reason). Does this new EXO-49 have an alt-fire mode to shoot between 1, 2, 3, and 4 shots at a time?

You can stomp a charger to death with you exo suit but it requires you to dance around in circles with the mech kicking it in its sides and will almost certainly leave your mech damaged. Did it after running out of ammo with both rockets and chain gun when 4 chargers jumped me and by friends. I think it was the fastest I went through a Exo suit ammo.

HD1 allowed you to use strategems while being in the mech. Wonder why they got rid of that feature

i wish this mech had a built in point defense laser drone; it would make the tiny bugs less of an annoyance

works pretty good against chargers legs (similar to old rail gun)

the problem with mechs is that you can't reload them, and aren't that powerful on use... I'd much rather have a single mech that is EXTREMELY powerfull, but once ammo is over, you don't get another one. (kinda like using the laser, you just throw it, it clear most stuff, just controlled by a player) or a more powerful mech with less ammo but that can be reloaded if you take care of it.

I personally think its quite fun equipping both exosuits, use one then u finish all ammo then call other onr and that way your always using exosuits the whole match lol

Tried this new mech and had a lot of fun with it and also liked it way more than the first one. Not very powerful - yes, not sturdy at all - yes, not able to shoot downwards - yes again, but is it fun to use? YES. But for most people whining about balance is way more fun it seems.

Just like the Airburst I won't even bother to spend my capped RS on this lol. Why clutter up my loadout selection screen with crap I won't use?

Tip top as usual!

So far I'm loving this mech! I just hope they don't nerf it.

The title is bait, jumping out the mech to deal with a Titan isn't an ammo save if you're gonna lose the mech in the process. Just say it straight up, this mech isn't meant for anti heavy. They should give it a freaking HP bar if they plan on adding more vehicles to the game.

Not even surprised at this point, I want to like this game and I really do want to see it succeed because I’ve sunk a unbelievable amount of time into it and I wouldn’t have done that if I didn’t like the game,but after each update and with all of the new weapons and stratagems being added being beyond weak, it’s getting genuinely tiring to continue playing a game where it punishes me for wanting to use non-meta weapons, I do hope that the balance update that fixes everything supposedly will be released soon because it’s absolutely baffling that 90% of the weapons and stratagems in the game are heavily underpowered, especially ones that we have to buy warbonds to access, with the CEO taking a more hands-on roll with the game hopefully that means weapon balancing is going to be done properly this time.

My bad for thinking four autocannons would be worse than a single one with aim assist and a shorter cooldown

Both mechs could use a buff. Maybe give them a mobility buff by adding jets to let them jump.

I need a life bar on the Mech’s..! Or some better way of tell that it’s about to explode, other than the little black smoke..!

in a team - one person shoot the bile titan with a rocket - then lets you finish it off . just good combo. but it SHOULD kill with less bullets for sure

I took on a whole army of bots by myself with this only gotta watch out for turrets tanks and factory striders heavy artillery

Babe wake up new Thiccfila tips and tricks video just dropped

Wow, how in the heck did we come up with the same builds and strategy? The only difference is that right now, the emancipator is free. I've been using the Patriot alongside it to compensate for their long cooldown times. An extra Mech on Standby is so fun, could drop one on evac and the partriot missiles on the field they are pretty good for titans. Still use the quaser with gas strikes and the bubble shield instead of napalm cause eagles are cringe.. shields also go through the mech, too.. better than rover bug. Can't recommend these on bots.. kinda trash.. Which sucks cause the autocannon is so good on bots same with the autocannon turret vs factory striders. It can be done but it's not as fun as defense, evac, blitz missions vs bugs with the suit imo

huh.. queso cannon then bot boom... i was using rail strikes on titans then mech boi.. probably expendable tank rocket or anything that strips armor like your or my approach will probably give same result.. but yea over all 7/10.. laser rover or attach the shield gen to it will give extra armor would be a good idea.. plus maybe a strategem or booster for repair or ammo reload will make this thing unstoppable

Love the mech insane against swarms and breaches however I feel like this really ought to do much higher single target and have a smaller aoe, and the other mech should be brought up to this one in terms of hord clear.

Yes we love the queso cannon😂

It’s looks beautiful, yet feels terrible. Does no damage 👍. It does as much damage-per-shot as the Liberator AR (60 dmg) if I’m not mistaken

God damm u are fast to upload this

They should let us repair and restock them, maybe in a way that takes a long time or whatever to make it balanced, but it sucks when these things get destroyed instantly or you just use up all the ammo and got nothing else, feels like a waste of a stratagem

In HD1 you could throw strategems from inside an exo suit. I don't know why they decided against it this time.

I'm level 50 and i already fully upgraded my ship, so samples are useless now

I want w mech that does just malay kills. Holding a big sword or axe, a shockwave body slam. If the slam doesn't kill at least fling them.

in HD1 the exosuit and sentries were a lot more beefier and the main reason you left an exo suit was because it had no ammo left... it is a bit of a shame that on higher levels on HD2 you do better off without them...

The mech takes about thirty shots to kill a charger. A single one. Why would you bring this? How can this support the devs’ claim that everything is equally good and useful? That’s the neat part, it can’t

I love how the CEO stepping down fixed everything.

People need to realize that there is a tool for every situation. The autocannon is essentially the answer to every problem for bots and FAR less so for bugs. Therefore, the emancipator is a bot weapon and it shows. It's shreads hulks, tanks and devestators if aimed correctly, and can take a shocking amount of enemy fire. The issue is that massive cooldown, the sights being finicky, and the fact that it does less damage than the damn turret variant. So yeah. Don't use it on bugs.

Either make it super OP or let me take both for a cool mech build. As it sits its just another weak strategem not worth a slot.

1 rocket plus 1 110mm rocket strike kills totans also. I see mixed comments so it clearly has a much higher skill floor, or people like to bs. Both are equally plausible. Still, ill take my recoiless for bugs and AC for bots, and leave this on a shelf.

I really want to try new land mines

it does 30 dmg per hit to the head to the bile titan, the AC century does 150 dmg per shot... it's complete garbage

Honestly, with how long the CD is, idk why they even bother giving it limited uses... it'd be what, 4-5 uses even on a 40 minute mission?

I was hoping id have a pocketful of 4 mechs eventually. Tis but a pipe dream

Thank you for this!

To make sure people dont complain that the exo-49 has been nerfed and is no longer fun, AH has pre-nerfed it before release. No need to thank them.

Not to mention the thing treads around painfully slow

You are already level 150!!! How many hours have you played?
