EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit

The EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit became available to Helldivers on May 26, 2024, following the liberation of Varylia 5. It is armed with two twin autocannons and is designed primarily to engage medium and heavy armored foes.
==Stratagem Code==
Players must enter the following sequence, using the default Ctrl+WASD keys or the controller D-Pad in order to call down this Stratagem during a mission:
==Gameplay Tips==
*The Emancipator's cannon arms can be fired independently from each-other using the primary and alt fire keys. They can also be fired together by pressing both. Each arm has 75 rounds each, with a total of 150 rounds.
**To ensure accuracy, when engaging enemies from the left or right side, it is best to fire at them using the arm in the same direction.
*The cannon arms cannot fully traverse downwards and typically cannot hit small units at close-range. For times like these, use the melee stomp attack.
*The autocannons fire high penetration explosive rounds, similar to the ones used by the autocannon sentry and Pelican dropship, allowing them to stagger even heavy-armored units. They are capable of easily dispatching groups of medium-armored enemies, but are still capable of going toe-to-toe with heavy armored ones like Chargers and Hulks, although targeting their weak points are best to save on ammo.
**Going against superheavies is possible, but a waste of ammunition or outright lethal without support and preparation. Bile Titans should have their carapaces cracked by explosives before using the exosuit against it. Against Factory Striders, it is advised to take out the main gun first before attacking it, as it can instantly destroy the exosuit with a direct hit.
*The autocannons are capable of destroying enemy infrastructure, such as Spore Spewers, Shrieker Nests and bug holes. They are also capable of destroying Broadcast Towers and automaton fabricators (although this also requires the trick shot of arching it into the vents.)
*Keep out of view of annihilator tanks, cannon turrets, and factory striders. Their main guns can destroy the suit in one hit and the exosuit itself is typically not nimble enough to dodge or outrun the enemy guns' rotation speed.
**From the bugs' side, the biggest threats against them are spewers, chargers, and bile titans.
*The Emancipator is best used against Automatons as their autocannons are geared more towards taking out armored enemies, which Terminids generally lack en-masse. However, if looking for anti-structure duties (such as destroying bug holes), this exosuit performs at that well as the suit can go into medium and heavy bug nests almost unimpeded thanks to it's armor.
==Trivia==
*While the EXO-49 is an improvement of the EXO-48 Obsidian Exosuit from the first galactic war, it's profiles profile and choice of colors, and role in-game makes it resemble the GDI Wolverine.
*Despite having a total of 4 cannons, only one is shot from each arm per attack, and each shot alternates between the bottom and top cannon. While simply an aesthetic feature, this is likely to avoid overheating during sustained fire.
*Emancipate means to be free from legal, social, or political restrictions. Or in other words, to be liberated.
