Summary
- The mech in Helldivers 2 walks to the beat of Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Want to Have Fun.
- Other songs set to the same BPM include Jingle Bell Rock, Linkin Park’s What I’ve Done, and Nirvana’s Come as You Are.
- Fans are excited about a possible crossover event in Helldivers 2, speculating on a Warhammer 40K collaboration.
A Helldivers 2 player has shared a mech detail that likely no other Helldiver has thought of before, highlighting the Exosuit walks to the beat of a very popular 80s song. Helldivers 2 is a highly entertaining fight for democracy, either as a solo player or taking part in the chaotic multiplayer missions. Mechs certainly give players a sturdy layer of defense against the Terminids and Automatons, but now players can enjoy some of their favorite songs while piloting the Exosuit thanks to this player’s random discovery.
The co-op third-person shooter was released in 2024 by Arrowhead Game Studios, serving as a direct sequel to 2015’s Helldivers following an elite shock troops group tasked with defending humanity against aliens in the 22nd century. Having already achieved deserving success in its first year of launch, the fandom and industry are constantly looking ahead to see how the comical shooter continues its level of engagement. A Helldivers 2 dev recently teased a crossover event was in the pipeline, noted as being a new concept that’s in the early stages of development, and some players believe it could be a Warhammer 40K collaboration.
Helldivers 2 Releases Second Update in 24 Hour Period
Helldivers 2 update 01.002.106 is now available to download, introducing a fix for a critical issue that affected the game's stability.
Posted on Reddit by BabyinaHoodie, a 20-second clip was shared on the Helldivers subreddit, showing an ordinary scene of a mech walking through one of the game’s smoggy biomes. Listening closer, Cyndi Lauper’s 80s hit Girls Just Want to Have Fun can be heard playing in the background, and the player felt it was necessary to point out that the mech walks to the song’s beat perfectly. Unlocking Helldivers 2’s mech may take a while, but the reward of trudging through the battlefield to classic hits is worth the wait.
Helldivers 2 Player Notes Mechs Walk to the Beat of a Cyndi Lauper Song
Helldivers 2 has a plethora of reliable weapons to combat Terminids with, but the Reddit community thought nothing would strike fear into the hearts of aliens more than seeing a big mech demolishing bug families while blasting Cyndi Lauper. Additionally, another fan noted some other songs set to the same BPM (beats per minute), including Jingle Bell Rock, Linkin Park’s What I’ve Done, and Nirvana’s Come as You Are.
Only one mech suit is currently available in the shooter, and that’s the Exo-45 Patriot Exosuit. Some Helldivers 2 players think the mechs are overpowered, but the Patriot’s minigun is only lethal against lightly armored enemies like Hunters or Troopers and the vents of Annihilator Tanks. Produced on the planet of Tien Kwan, the Patriot Exosuits are equipped with a rocket pod housing 14 rockets, a minigun holding 1K rounds of ammunition, and the suit is also capable of performing a memorable melee stomp attack.
