“The 'Obsidian' Exosuit is a continued and specialized development of the EXO-44 ‘Walker’ Exosuit. Armed with two twin 20mm autocannons, it is devastating to low and medium armored targets. Its only drawback is the distinct lack of Anti-Tank capability. The EXO-48 is part of the Pilot equipment kit.

Gameplay Tips
- Stratagems can be used from inside the Exosuit. Since they are launched from a tube there is no throw charge up, and the beacon always goes about half of the on-foot maximum thrown distance. A yellow warning light on the Exosuit's shoulder-mounted Stratagem launcher indicates that a beacon has been readied.
- Each twin arm-mounted cannon has a magazine size of 250 rounds, for a total ammunition reserve of 500 shots.
- Due having "Ignore armor" trait on leg stomping attack, the EXO-48 Obsidian can destroy Cyborg AA Guns and Illuminate Beacons specifically by walking very close to them. This method requires two precise stomps to destroy one target.
- Vehicles and Exosuits will take a small amount of damage while passing through a deployed Anti-Personnel Barrier. The M5-32 HAV (when upgraded to Mk3) and the TD-110 Bastion are immune to this, however.
- Vehicles are larger than Hellpods, requiring more space to deploy. They can land anywhere within a fairly wide radius of the beacon that called it in. In rough terrain, this can lead to the vehicle being deployed on top of unsuspecting Helldivers.
- When calling in multiple stratagems, it is advisable to deploy any vehicles only after all equipment-bearing Hellpods have arrived. This is because Hellpods will instantly destroy any vehicle they land on.
- Empty/abandoned Exosuits can be used as ad hoc decoys, not least against enemy hordes closing to melee. This is something of a last ditch tactic though, unless say, that you were already going to be calling down and transferring to a 'fresh' Exosuit or other vehicle.
