The EXO-51 Lumberer is a heavy-duty combat walker returning from the first Galactic War, officially re-introduced in the Exo Experts Premium Warbond (launching April 28, 2026).
Let's start where all good Warbonds start, with the latest offensive items included in the Exo Experts. Beginning with EXO-51 Lumberer, a modern reinvention of the Lumberers of the first Galactic War, this Exosuit is equipped with an anti-tank cannon and a flamethrower allowing you to unleash maximum devastation upon your foes and then purge smaller enemies in the flames of Liberty.
While the current Patriot and Emancipator suits focus on rockets and autocannons, the Lumberer is built for high-damage, close-quarters devastation.
Weapon Loadout
This Exosuit features a dual-weapon configuration designed to handle both heavy armor and massive crowds:
- 90mm Anti-Tank Cannon: Located on the right arm, this is a dedicated "tank-killer" capable of punching through the heaviest armor, similar to a mounted Recoilless Rifle.
- Flamethrower: Located on the left arm, it allows you to torch infantry and clear "chaff" (like Scavengers or Troopers) without wasting your precious anti-tank rounds.
Key Tactical Stats
- Role: Anti-Armor/Crowd Control.
- Mobility: As a heavier variant, it generally features slower turn speeds and movement compared to the Patriot, requiring more deliberate positioning.
- Ammo Management: The anti-tank cannon typically has a limited ammo pool, making it vital to save shots for Chargers, Bile Titans, or Hulks.
The EXO-51 Lumberer is a powerful, heavy-duty combat walker that brings the intensity of close-quarters devastation back into Helldivers 2. Equipped with an anti-tank cannon and a flamethrower, it’s designed to destroy armored foes and clear out smaller enemies with ease. While it’s slower than other suits like the Patriot, its firepower and versatility make it a must-have for any Helldivers 2 player looking to dominate on the battlefield.

Pro-Tips for Pilots
- Fire & Purge: Use the flamethrower to create a "firewall" in front of you. Enemies walking through the flames will take damage over time, allowing you to focus your cannon on the bigger threats.
- Back to the Wall: Because of its slower rotation, avoid getting surrounded. Position yourself against a cliffside or have a teammate in O-3 Free Spirit armor watch your six.
- Stratagem Synergy: Pair this with the Supply Pack or a Shield Generator Relay to keep yourself operational longer while waiting for your next cooldown.
