Helldivers 2 still doesn’t feature mechs in new launch trailer

Sign me up for mechs vs giant bugs.

Helldivers 2's slogan of "Protecting freedom from tyranny with the gentle touch of an iron fist" invokes the image of gunning down aliens and protecting humanity but also leaves me with a burning question. Where are the mechs in Helldivers 2?

The Helldivers 2 The Fight for Freedom Begins trailer on the PlayStation YouTube has me ready to sign up to protect Earth, but I'd feel much more confident inside a powerful mech. Mechs were an incredibly useful and fun tool in the first Helldivers, and it would be a shame for the sequel to leave this feature behind. That said, simply because we have yet to see any mechs doesn't mean we won't be able to pilot one in Helldivers 2.

Fighting giant alien bugs in mechs is a no-brainer and has been a blast since I originally played the Lost Planet series. Adding co-op to the mix and fighting alongside my mechanized friends would be a blast in Helldivers 2. We've seen smaller robots and tanks, but not the iconic mechs from the original Helldivers.

Whether mechs are added, Helldivers 2 looks full of heart-pounding action and ways to stomp on alien bugs. The shift from top-down to third-person may have impacted the inclusion of mechs, but we'll have to wait until release before we learn if Helldivers 2 has mechs or not.
