On Thursday, a new Major Order was issued to liberate Varylia 5 and unlock the new EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit for the entire community. Great news for Helldivers logging in this Sunday morning: we have succeeded!
GALACTIC WAR UPDATE
“After a truly impressive display of both coordination and skill, the Helldivers not only managed to liberate the Pentafactory upon Varylia 5 from the Automaton menace, but also beat back a ferocious attack upon Angel’s Venture by the fascist bugs mid operation! Fighting their way through Varylia 5 was initially thick going. The bots had put up multiple lines of defenses and ramped up planet production to levels scarcely ever seen before. But determination saw our Helldivers through, and after having broken through half of their defenses, the automaton resistance began to crumble against the might and light of liberty. However, amid the intense fighting on Varylia 5, an attack upon Angel’s Venture threatened the newly built SEAF training facilities there. In a fantastic tactical move that will echo for eons, the Helldivers diverted 40% of their forces to the defense of Angel’s Venture, while 45% remained to hold the bots at bay. This allowed the Helldivers to win, against all odds, on both fronts. Although the threat of Meridia still looms, today marks a day of celebration as the newly acquired Emancipator Exosuit is immediately rushed out for distribution to all Helldivers. The brilliant engineers of Super Earth have, in record time, made the vehicle both safe and efficient to signal their thanks to the valiant and heroic Helldivers who continue to keep our galaxy safe from the threats of Managed Democracy.”

The new Exosuit is available for 20,000 Requisition Slips. However, you can only equip one Exosuit per mission, so you’ll need to decide between the old EXO-45 Patriot, equipped with rockets and a heavy machine gun, and the new shiny EXO-49 Emancipator with its dual autocannons.
