There once was a time when climbing into a vehicle in Helldivers 2 was tantamount to strapping a bomb to your back. Be it jeeps that couldn't survive a fender bender or mechs that exploded when a bug glanced at them menacingly—Helldivers 2 pilots could burn bright, but not for long. I'm glad those days are over: Today's Helldivers 2 update added a long-awaited vehicle from the first game—the Bastion tank destroyer—and it's a work of art.
Weighing in at approximately four kajillion pounds, the TD-220 Bastion MK XVI is a new free stratagem available to all players as part of Super Earth's full-on offensive toward Cyberstan, the Automaton stronghold in the outer reaches of bot territory. The tank(destroyer) seats four divers: a driver, a gunner, and two passengers on its shoulders. It's armed with a "heavy coaxial machinegun" and a "120mm high-velocity cannon."
