Helldivers 2 fans are rushing to get its new Exosuit mechs so fast they're breaking the servers

Helldivers 2.

What you need to know

  • After Helldivers 2 players freed the planet of Tien Kwan and unlocked the game's new Exosuit mechs Friday morning, many have experienced login and connection problems with its servers.
  • Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt has confirmed in a new post that these issues are being caused by "too many trying to acquire the mech at the same time."
  • Pilestedt says that "Service will be restored eventually, but for now I ask for patience." At the moment, the issues are intermittent, so you should be able to get into Helldivers 2 after a short wait.
  • Notably, he also said that the Helldivers 2 community liberated Tien Kwan four times faster than Arrowhead thought it would; the Major Order was set to expire on Sunday morning, but it was completed early on Friday a little over 24 hours after it was issued.
