Testing EVERYTHING For New Patriot EXOSUIT STRATAGEM | Helldivers 2 Things You Missed

my fellow hell divers we now have a Mech to call our own the EXO 45 Patriot Exo Suit is here and boy do I have some juicy findings for you strap in as I reveal many hidden mechanics and secrets on the exo suit as I have spent every second since it unlocked pushing its capabilities to the max to find out exactly how it fares on the field of battle so let's start with the basics assuming you haven't jumped into one of these yourself yet firstly you will find it under the robotics Workshop it costs 20,000 requisition and unlocks at level 25 this may seem like a minor thing but for me it even has a really fun call-in input left down right up left down down it's just a big circle on your keypad with two downs I love it I don't know why it's just so satisfying anyway time for secret number one as you are calling this down your extraction shuttle will drop it off for you and as the extraction shuttle is delivering the exo suit to you it will also be shooting enemies for you just like it does at the extract as you can see in this clip it is obliterating a charger for me so if a few of you are calling in EXO suits at the same time imagine all of your shuttles just melting bile Titans and hulks for you this already is such a great added bonus to this strategy once you do get inside it it has 14 rockets and 1,000 machine gun ammo neither of these last anywhere near as long as you would like but over the next few minutes let me talk you through the capabilities of this ammo what it will penetrate what it won't penetrate and how to get the absolute most out of it let's start off with the machine gun this is really good for mopping up waves of enemies both bugs and Bots alike it has very light armor penetration and will penetrate the armor of the likes of Hive guards and Devastators but it won't pierce the carpus of chargers nor will it go through the likes of heavy Devastators Shields but nonetheless this is a very powerful machine gun extremely rapid fire and it will mow down swarms of enemies so damn fast however let me quickly tell you about a few of the shortcomings of this Mech a few of the negatives before we move onto its melee capabilities and the rockets firstly you cannot call in strategems or use equipment this includes grenades and backpacks as you can see when I have the guardog Rover equipped the Rover will sit on top of the mech with me but it won't actually do anything so you literally are using the mech and just the mech nothing else due to this it can potentially leave you quite vulnerable because it isn't as tanky as it first seems it doesn't take long before it starts smoking and when it starts smoking it loses certain capabilities and functionality it will even be one shot by a charging charger also please be aware ammo does not replenish there is no way to recall it in and you can't ask for it to be faed around the battlefield so on very large Maps be very careful where you call this in because it's kind of a one-use item until it runs out of ammo or health and then you're done and you have completely lost access to one of your four strategems obviously at the moment that's not the worst thing in the world because we all get this strategy for free this is an additional strategy on top of our other four however once this welcome bonus if you want to call it that goes away it will take up one of your four slots so just be aware that once it's gone it's gone also the exo suit cannot jump or dive in any way and it's strafe it's weird crab walk is very slow so it is very hard to navigate it out of sticky situations should it get ganked by enemies another annoying bug that also happens even not in the EXO suit is if you try to use the map and ping the map you will start to shoot your weapons the same as accidentally throwing your strategems and grenades if you've got them equipped when you try and use the map so at least on keyboard and mouse don't try and ping them up in your Exo Suit because you will waste your already very limited rocket Supply before I talk about the power of the Rockets and the last few secret uses of this suit that you might not know about let me go more in depth into its Health with the new and improved buffed Punisher shotgun it took around 15 shotgun blasts to the face before it exploded so it's reasonably tanky however One impact grenade killed it immediately and as I mentioned earlier so does a charger charge so it can soak up a hell of a lot of light attacks you can have hunters and SC scavengers nibbling at your feet for minutes before it starts to exhibit any signs of damage but big attacks will melt it very very fast for this reason especially against bots where you've got rocket Raiders and Rocket Devastators I strongly recommend always trying to have this shielded by a shield generator because as I say once it's gone it's gone but now that we've talked about its shortcomings let me tell you more about the insane power of the rocket that this thing comes equipped with the actual damage that the Rocket's output is slightly higher than a grenade launcher as you can see in a few of these clips it's taking out Hive guards and brood commanders in two to three shots depending on how direct my hit is and initially that made me feel like these Rockets weren't all that powerful that is until I took it against the Bots and you will see that its Rockets absolutely devastate even the most armored of enemies one rocket devastates a cannon Tower and as you probably know these Cannon Towers took four to six rail gun blasts pre patch the fact that one rocket will blow this up is insane then I noticed a tank was shooting at me I wasn't even able to hit the tank in the weak spot around the back I literally just blasted three rockets into the turret and it was dead three rockets that means if you are efficient and accurate the exo suit can nearly solo five tanks with just its Rockets alone therefore if you haven't already put two and two together definitely save the rockets for high value High armor targets it penetrates frakin everything so even though against medium targets such as Hive guards and heavy Devastators the Rockets aren't the most damaging thing in the world because of the literal infinite amount of armor penetration that they have they are effective against every single Target in the game now I said I was also going to talk to you about the melee functionality as you are walking along you will automatically deal damage to tiny little enemies for example you can walk over scavengers and hunters and you will just squish them under your giant feet however pressing the melee button will also make your M kick it's not the most powerful thing but in a pinch if enemies are too close for you to hit with either of your weapons it will twoot Warriors and light automatons however Please be aware that when your Mech is on 50% health or less and it starts smoking you will no longer be able to melee it loses this functionality and also this is the point where you might want to think about maybe jumping out soon because it's going to explode and kill you both for the most part as long as you are fully aware of its shortcomings and not thinking this is going to make you some overpowered Unstoppable kill killing machine in the right situation it can be exactly that it can destroy this is easily going to make up for the Nerfs we've had to some of the really big weapons particularly the rail gun because as you have seen multiple times throughout this video if you're using the Patriot Exo Suit strategically and not being too frivolous with your cooldowns this can really help you turn the tide of any battle in summary what I Envision with a really good team of four is at all all times one of you will have the exo suit with the other three protecting its flanks and its blind spots to make sure it can't get ganked this is going to be able to snipe any big threats because the Rockets have seemingly endless range and their trajectory is completely accurate and on point no matter the distance so as long as you keep this alive it's going to melt bile Titans tanks mortar turrets whatever you may encounter as with all things in this game we are fighting for democracy we are a team and that is is reflected in this strategy it works as an individual Mech it's great but as part of a team it can make you Unstoppable now that you know the ins and outs of the EXO 45 Patriot Exo Suit go forth and spread managed democracy to the far reaches of the Galaxy for super earth 100 out [Music] spt [Music] and with that my friends all that's left for me to say is thank you so much for watching I hope you have an amazing day and I'll see you in the next one bye-bye
