A new Exosuit has finally arrived. Read on to see how to get and use the EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit in Helldivers 2.
Helldivers 2 follows the same pattern as its predecessor. Squads of four embark on missions to exterminate various alien factions. The original game had some vehicles and mechs you could use, but the sequel is lacking in that department, other than the EXO-45 Patriot. With all the updates and new weapons, there were no signs of a new mech coming anytime soon. But, on May 23, a new Order was issued, requiring players to liberate Valyria 5 and turn it into a new mech-producing planet. That Order was successful, and Helldivers everywhere were graced with a new mech. So, let’s see how to tet and use the EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit.
How to Get the EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit
After liberating Varylia 5 and turning the Automaton factories there to Super Earth’s cause, the Emancipator Exosuit was freely available to all Helldivers on all planets
Now the “free trial” period has passed and the Emancipator is available to be purchased just like any other stratagem. In your Ship Management screen, select the Stratagems tab, a scroll down to Robotics Workshop. You will see the Emancipator Stratagem at the end and you will have to pay 20.000 Requisition to unlock it. Remember to select it during your Loadout screen.
During the mission, simply open your Stratagem menu and type in the code for the Emancipator Exosuit (Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Up) and after a couple of seconds, the Pelican-1 will deliver your brand-new Exosuit (while shooting at nearby enemies).
Helldivers 2: How to Use the EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit
Like the last Exosuit, to enter the EXO-49 Emancipator, you have to approach it from the back and press the prompted button to enter (E on the keyboard, X on PS). Once inside, you will be able to move and fire the mech.
The main trait of the Emancipator is that it has dual-Autocannons, ie, one Autocannon on each arm. Each Autocannon has 75 rounds. It behaves the same as the Patriot, offering protection from small arms fire and small bugs, which you can squish by walking over them. On the other hand, it can easily be destroyed by an anti-tank shot (from a Rocket Raider, Rocket Devastator, and the like), or by getting hit by Terminids’ acid bile (from a Bile Titan or Bile Spewer).
Its Autocannons behave the same as the regular Autocannon support weapon. They can take on all but the most heavily armored targets. And, being an explosive weapon, you can also close bug holes and destroy fabricators. The aiming requires a little getting used to, though.
All in all, the Emancipator is a great middle-ground Exosuit, great for almost every mission. Pair it with a Rocket Sentry and EMS Mortar Sentry, and holding the line will be a piece of cake.
