EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit

The EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit is equipped with fourteen rockets and a mini-gun capable of holding a thousand rounds of ammunition. The EXO-45 is produced by Morgunson Arsenal on the planet of Tien Kwan in the Theseus Sector. As of March 7, 2024, some EXO-45 units can be found on this planet. A day later, the EXO-45 became available to all Helldivers after Tien Kwan was successfully liberated.
==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 Patriot’s minigun is a highly lethal weapon against unarmored or lightly armored enemies such as Hunters or Troopers, but can also be used to damage critical components of enemies such as the vents on the back of the Automaton Tank. 
* The Patriots missiles are very effective at eradicating bug-nests, as one well placed missile can close one. However, it can also be used to dispose of medium armored enemies such as Berserkers, while heavily armored foes such as Annihilator Tanks are more resilient towards the missiles and are even immune to them in some cases, like with the Charger.
* Be warned that taking a rampaging Charger head on can wreck the Patriot. However, getting rammed from the side by a Charger deals much less damage and can effectively stun the Charger.
* You can spare ammo for both the missile launcher and minigun when you are only fighting small and low-ranking enemies such as Scavengers or Troopers, as the Patriot is capable of simply trampling these types of foes thanks to its size and weight. 
* Even with its ammo reserves depleted, the Patriot can be parked in a tactically advantageous position as an obstacle to approaching enemies, such as the ever irritating Charger which can be stunned when ramming into a parked Patriot or even be killed by the ensuing explosion.
** The Patriot also comes with a melee attack in the form a frontal stomp, which is powerful enough to one-shot fodder enemies and even deal significant damage against certain heavy enemies, like Chargers. In a last-ditch effort, the Patriot can be used as a stompy battering ram against foes and can be made more effective with EMS fields to hold down enemies in-place.
* The Patriot is called in by a Pelican dropship which will use its nose-mounted autocannon to engage nearby enemies.
* The Patriot's weapon modules can be destroyed separately, similar to modular damage that can be inflicted on Devastators and other heavies. The user's HUD will reflect the loss of the module.
==Notes==
* When originally revealed in the Report for Duty trailer, the EXO-45 was instead called EXO-44 Walker Exosuit MK3. In-game, Helldivers also still refer to the EXO-45 as a Walker when called-in.
