They are as expected if you came from HD1. They were very strong situationally but aren't the instant win that most expected. They serve as just another tool in the Helldiver arsenal & as we know each has their strengths & weaknesses. The other variants of the mechs will probably serve the same purpose with the dual autocannons being better suited for the automatons & the 3rd as a more crowd control focused one. Personally they are best used when extracting as they can buy you valuable time waiting for the Pelican to descend especially defending a choke point.
@@NecramoniumVideo There are some bugs going around regarding the mechs which hopefully gets ironed out. Not sure with other players but i did find taking a shot from chargers, bile, rockets from the sides there is a chance the mech survives.
Belated happy birthday, man! While you gave us great content all these years, I'm personally glad you're going to be focusing on yourself (as someone who'll also be doing the same).
Of course views will prove whether a video is good/successful or not, but I just want you to know that regardless of that your helldivers content has all been fantastic and you continue to be my favorite channel for the genre.
balance wise they are great, they just need to fix a few bugs such as blowing yourself up for rotating too fast after shooting a rocket or dropping off the ship and it blows up
Automatons can be done solo with stealth. Use stratagems for factories like eagle airstrike, 110mm and or laser orbital (for the larger structures like cannons) anti-material rifle is busted for bots! Hope you give it a shot
Ive been thinking the same lol. With this game and the abundance of games with much better grapple hooks than lost planet I really don't think I'll ever feel another dying itch for that game like I have before
Mechs against bugs are really strong and fun, but against bots the slow movement speed is a hinderance. You just become a giant target for every bot on the map to hammer you with rockets. And the mechs really can't take that much before they explode and there is really nothing you can do to avoid heavy amounts of fire.
Yeah the one with autocannons and the use of shield beacon will probably make them better against automatons. But they wont have much offensive capabilities with their current tankiness.
In HD1 the mechs were fun, but not seriously used in high-level play. Part of that was the calldown limit (1) per mech, so once they were spent, that was it. High level play is usually too long to justify something that runs out that fast, burning a strat slot with it.
Honestly the mech is way more powerful than I thought it was going to be. It's the expendable anti tank launcher mixed with the heavy machine gun stratagem except for you get like 12 rockets and like 900 rounds without reloading PLUS gunship support while it's being delivered. It's not very good against bots but it's a beast against bugs as long as you keep your distance. Sure you can't reload but you get 3 of them per run.
Great gameplay on all the Helldiver 2 vids!! I would love more content on this. You guys rock and it’s hilarious 😆 Barely found your channel instant sub. Love to see indie dev teams doing well and showing some of these AAA studios how games can still be great and make money bc they keep a player base around. Love how direct the CEO was too. Saying yeah our servers are a mess so don’t buy it right now amongst other things they announced too. Very transparent and keeping it real. Makes me want to support the game even more
The exosuits are cool, but I think some welcome changes could include a real melee attack (stomp) and a chance to resupply the ammo. Additionally, emoting in the mechs haha
It's really glitchy too. Game enemies would appear right in front of me, disappear after several moments, and explosions now feel really imprecise in the game.
Im sure you know this by now aculite, but you can melee with the mechs, and the melee can apparently kill the chargers with2 hits. Its worth teying out to curb stomp a charger
@@zachary6086 I've had to wait in que during big updates such as this one but otherwise I haven't had any issues with the servers. Occasional disconnects or crashes but I play on PC. I can't speak to PS5 players. Otherwise, fantastic game with over 50hrs spent in it.
Yooo?! When's your birthday Connor? Mine was on Sunday, never realised we were so close. Been a watcher for a while, glad to see you enjoying games as always.
The worst thing is calling your mech in, then someone else calls theirs, and the second pelican nukes your mech on the way in with its bombardment, just instant death.
mechs break super fast, and can be destroyed by their own grenade/rocket launcher (like, it just blows up in your face, even if there is nothing for it to collide with in your immediate area
The rocket premature combustion is obviously a bug, but the health is fine. They are a tool that needs to be used properly and ideally with team to support, just like real armour. They are more than hardy enough provided you aren't wading into melee range with the bugs. Also a charger hit to the front/side armour will stop the charger in it's tracks.
I'm still on the fence about getting this game. All my friends have it, the only thing holding me back is the anti-cheat. Can I ask what your thoughts on it are?
Only thing they are missing is the possibility to be resupplied with ammo and/or repaired. Ngl, it doesn't make sense to be disposable (especially because it's implied that the thing is very expensive for the Super Earth to make)
I think they are nicely balanced. What I would wish we could do is change the mechs Weapons. Like a heavy Assault Rifle (something like straight out of Gundam) for the Gatling gun and Napalm Rockets, Big Railgun, A Heavy Laser at maybe the strength of the Orbital Laser but not much Ammo instead of the Rockets
My brother, I love these videos immensely. I must say, it's pronounced Ah-tah-mo-tahns, not Ah-toe-mah-tons. It's a play on the word 'Autonomous'. Optimus Prime from Transformers (2007), "We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron."
EDF 4 came out 2016 I really don't hate Helldivers 2(I do hate Helldivers 1 and Playstation) but I feel like it's insulting how much praise this game gets compared to way superior version which came out 8 years ago and EDF 5 is even better than that
@@Chanterla1kuyoma it’s just a request not telling him to I’m just asking because his pubg vids like 5 years ago were bangers also helps me get better at the game and is also entertaining and he hasn’t been posting pubg vids that much so it would be great bc it also brings back memories

Their biggest weakness is blowing up for nothing or in one of my cases, literally out of nowhere.
@@NecramoniumVideo There are some bugs going around regarding the mechs which hopefully gets ironed out. Not sure with other players but i did find taking a shot from chargers, bile, rockets from the sides there is a chance the mech survives.
@@izumolee6714It's because side arm of the mech has medium armour, while the front has light armour.
@@peacepham7838I played the first game and the mechs felt more durable and had more ammo.
@@NecramoniumVideowaiting 15 minutes for a mech with one arm/destroyed is very frustrating
Belated happy birthday, man! While you gave us great content all these years, I'm personally glad you're going to be focusing on yourself (as someone who'll also be doing the same).

Thank you! :D
Happy birthday man!
I'm really enjoying the longer videos, including full missions and campaigns.
But it's all excellent 🤙👍 thanks!
balance wise they are great, they just need to fix a few bugs such as blowing yourself up for rotating too fast after shooting a rocket or dropping off the ship and it blows up
The second one also happens if you have another mech in field. So destroy you old one once you bail.
Mine just blew up once, with no enemy in sight or getting hit. A charger also destroyed it in one hit.
I wish it had a first person view.
@@NecramoniumVideo The mechs are probably being in a factory full of 'freedom hopefuls' so a few quality oversights are to be expected

For some reason melee wasn't working in our mechs the first day we played. I wish it did so I didn't have to use so much ammo.

This game is so much more fun than warzone
Those nukes laying around are great, max ive gotten with one was 88 bugs
belated happy birthday, acumech!!!
wish they could add a nuke eject or regular ejection features like in titanfall 2, but you gotta do it like youd call for a stratagem
If you can find a point above the mech and dive on it, you can stand on the mech while somebody else pilots it.
They're so perfect that if you're not perfectly lined up when you shoot a rocket it'll blow your mech up killing you instantly. So. Perfect.
Yooo?! When's your birthday Connor? Mine was on Sunday, never realised we were so close. Been a watcher for a while, glad to see you enjoying games as always.
Happy Birthday! Mines on the 5th!
9:25 " a lil bit " 😂 cute.
Happy birthday! Even though I'm late, I hope you enjoyed the day.
I tuned in just as that happened was so perfect!
i hate to ask to see you put yourself through hell by going solo helldive against the Automatons but, i kinda wanna see it.

Yeah I quickly went to playlist to see if you put up a vid for solo against robots

Aculite, your videos look amazing in picture quality!
hello SIr, Can you tell. How you come up with your thumbnails. Means How get ingame pics for thumbnails
your game looks so clear im jealous
looks like 1:1 future cop LAPD
Dreadnoughts are great, the Titans would be awesome, though.
Mechs should spawn with a temporary energy shield, like in titanfall.
Mechs are really weak to explosive damage , otherwise it can tank a little bit still. The firepower is very good though
Hi Aculite, watched tomos stream, you murdered his mech with the arc thrower. On one of the bounces it got it.
Do you know the timestamp?
@@Aculite 4:48:01
@@Daeon108 hahaha. I didn't even catch that but it showed up in my vid too. Let's pretend it was magic. ✨✨
Can we get an ammo backpack for the mech???
why the helldivers walk as if they shit their pants and are uncomfortable? like a little bit crouched jasjasjasj
More Aculite pls 😅
Apparently the CEO of HD2 is aware of the solo runs, if not yours specifically.
i hope you see this message may you tell me what planet this was you were fighting on?
imagine a mech where 3 or 4 people need to controll them so liek a ultimate mech for when you fight a bile titan
Like power rangers

What Starfield coulda been.
love your videos aculite saludos desde mexico we
Every man's dream
u are jim from the office
They get destroyed easily all the time, good for about five minutes if the enemy not all ready eating your legs or shooting at you with a tank.
wish i could play this but i have a potato pc 😂
more helldivers content brotha !!!
So glad im on xbox so i can watch other people play
Aculite, what's your Birthday? March 6 here.
Same. :) Happy Bday!
Well... Until you realise they were constructed from tissue paper.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
waiiitttt the pubg guy is still on ..
I'd like to see Aculite play in Verdansk again, and in Warzone Mobile too! Please show us at least a handcam video!
They need to hurry up and drop the game on yhe xbox platform

Just a comment for the algorithm
Hi ;3
Hi. :)
It's not "AUTO-mah-ton". It's "Aw. TOM. Ah. Ton." Listen to the in-game voice actors talking about them, if you need an example.
One game of apex please. You three.
Too bad they had to make it so the game is chalked without them (way too difficult)
Warzone ranked grind >>>>
Ew u use the arc thrower
35 sec ago is wilddd
I dunno about perfect
59 secs ago :o
How are all the youtubers getting the Automaton pronunciation wrong? The game says it all the time. Aw Tom A Tawn. Not Auto Mate On
First
You're first!
they are good for bad situations and extraction.. quit
