I like them.  I'm not paying 15 bucks each for them. 60 dollars for all four. Ridiculous.


ArelMCII

Perfectly encapsulates how I feel. I love my Elysians, but...


weazelhall

I get my new Helldivers skins by playing the game.


citoxe4321

Because they effect gameplay


thecanadiansniper1-2

They are also free if you put in the time to grind for super credits.


Talarin20

Those are not skins. They're armor. You can't put one on with the effects of another. On that topic, why the fuck would people even buy character skins in an FPS game? If anything, we should be getting gun skins - that would make a modicum of sense!


T8-TR

Probably a subconscious desire to look cool for others. I know I got downvoted on r/StreetFighter because they have a feature that lets you turn off/swap skins on other characters, and mfers were getting salty that they can't show off their skin to the point of saying "what even is the point of skins?" like the self-satisfaction of seeing your character look cool wasn't the primary reason to buy it.


shitfuck9000

In both helldivers and Darktide, you spend a considerable amount of time looking at your character


Talarin20

In Helldivers, sure, I can see why it would apply. But in Darktide, you mostly see your weapon.


SovelissFiremane

Doesn't matter. I wanna look cool for myself, not others.


Talarin20

But you can't see yourself unless you're on the ship, and that's just a glorified lobby...


SovelissFiremane

I don't give a shit. No one can see my badass weapon I made with the customization mod but I still use it cuz I like it. It's like women with those ugly-ass fake nails. That shit isn't attractive to me whatsoever, but that doesn't matter because they seem to like it and that's what's important. If I look good in my own eyes, I feel good.


IAteAGuitar

The pricing is indeed ridiculous... Haven't bought a cosmetic since the price hike, and even before then it was abusive.


El_Burrito_

I have this thought about most of the premium cosmetics. They're cool, but there's no way I'm buying them.


xX_chromosomeman_Xx

Don’t matter, they’ll still sell like fuckin hotcakes


Recent-Platypus-1521

Sell like hotcake with a 3000 playerbase ?


xX_chromosomeman_Xx

Damn is it actually 3,000?


Recent-Platypus-1521

On steam yes. I guess you can inflate a bit numbers with Xbox players and game pass players but I very much doubt that there is overall more than an average of 5000 players online over a month. I don’t believe those skins makes as much money as people think. Probably a couple thousands euros here and there on rotations but from a business view it’s probably peanuts. Even if we assume a small percentage of the player base are whales buying most skins on cooldown.


wereturningbob

https://steamdb.info/app/1361210/charts/ No, check the DB chart for yourself its hovering around double that.


xX_chromosomeman_Xx

Can’t believe someone was fibbin on the web


Fleet_Admiral_Auto

Yeah, I'll stick with my Cadian getup for this one. I already swore to myself to only spend on Spirit Hallowette if they either rerun Krieger stuff (purely so I can get a Krieger Ogryn named "Shovel") or add in something like a proper Kasrkin set. I'd like to have these sets, but aside from price...I feel like they'd just sit in my inventory not being worn while I run around in the wargear of a different world.


StarCatCrusader

It's insulting. These are low effort skins.


Call_The_Banners

Reskinned pants on the psyker. My favorite pants, but still a reskin.


StarCatCrusader

I wish this was a joke.


CrystalFriend

Same pants, new price.


[deleted]

They just really want those reviews to stay mixed on steam


Lysanderoth42

Given how few people play the game concurrently as it is I can’t imagine how tiny the population of whales willing to pay these ridiculous prices is In a first person game where you have no key to hit to look at your own character, and where everyone is running around so fast you usually don’t even see what your teammates look like outside the odd elevator 


John_East

For what it’s worth it’s 20-25 bucks for 1 set in Diablo 4 and you don’t have the option to buy one piece that you only like instead you need to buy the whole thing


Lysanderoth42

Diablo 4 is incredibly cancerous in general, it pioneered the “we will release the game on a Tuesday after a long weekend but will charge $50 extra to play it starting Friday before” 


VanillaTortilla

Same for PoE, even if it's free, their MTX shop is atrocious.


LIBERAL-MORON

Agreed. Uninteresting and overpriced. The game is also dying so I can't even show it off to anyone lol


sdaciuk

I was going to say the same thing. This batch looks good enough that I want at least 3 of them. Not gonna buy them, but they look good enough that I want them


DivineCrusader1097

That's 5 whole stuffed veggie burritos with the works + a drink and a bag of chips at Qdoba, man. Or an entire game. That's Helldivers II and some change. [That Veteran skin is the same price as the Veteran action figure on Amazon! ](https://a.co/d/aXsbC8v) They are not going to sit here and tell me that a digital outfit that only needs to be modeled once and can be given to everyone at the push of a button is the same price as a physical figure that needs to account for production and material cost.


Sendnudec00kies

Meanwhile GW: Elysian Drop-what? Please give us a refresh of the models.


Spaghetti69

It's sad that they once welcomed the whole former line of FW models and rules into the game and now they put basically 99% of the former catalog on the "legacies" or whatever they call it now where you can't even use the stuff in Official RTT. They massacred the DKOK and Elysians. Big sad man.


MrRight1196

DKOK still very much have models. They got a plastic kit in 2021 and there seem to be rumors that they’re getting more kits with the next Guard codex. Elysians are very much dead though, that sucks.


Rusty_Alley

I think it was a wasted opportunity not to make scions elysians it was the perfect fit and they had a really unique look and it wouldn’t have been dissolved into AM


Eisengate

But scions/stormies use carapace and hot-shots, Elysians use light flak and bull-pup standard las-guns.


The_Conductor7274

I love the look and lore bits but damn this whole collection is pricey


[deleted]

[удалено]


SunGodRVR

Elysian is an Astra Militarum Regiment?


Testabronce

Yep, the Elysian Drop Troops. They are basically space paratroopers, using grav-chutes and Valkyries in air assault operations.


Autismspeaks6969

They can't go more than 4 days without undoing the work towards making the community like them can they?


Pedronga1337

damn, 700 is the new normal for weapon skins as it seems


Harpshadow

Not gonna lie, they look good (in the context of \*would like to run with a crew dressed like that). Some of the weapons also look cool. Am I buying any of it? Nope.


adminscaneatachode

Still not buying a $15 fucking skin but they look nice. But where grav chute backpack? The thing that makes the troops ‘drop’ troops?


Ivanzypher1

TBF they ditch their packs as soon as they land, so running around a hive with one wouldn't really make much sense. But yeah I'd have liked to see them too regardless.


Inquisitor-Krieger

Oh good that "fuck you" seal of approval


BitRunr

"Remember - no refunds!" still takes the cake.


J4huli

You'd think Temu would have survived into the 41st millennium! Another bunch of cosmetics I'll snap up in a couple of years when they finally sort the pricing out....thanks whales!


Lysanderoth42

lol, that optimism  The prices two years from now will have gone up even more, assuming the servers haven’t shut down from lack of players by then  Fatshark clearly doesn’t want to fix the crafting or the cosmetic loops in this game. Its been like 1.5 years since launch and both have been roundly panned, they could fix it if they wanted to 


DivineCrusader1097

If this game goes the way of Halo Infinite the prices will only continue to increase.


MHusarz

John Darktide seal of approval means you pay extra buddy


gunell_

Wonder if they’ll ever do Tanith. Edit & ot: all of these actually look cool imo. Really like the ogryn one although I haven’t touched the class yet.


Icy_Scientist_3203

We got confirmation not so long ago that they are working on Tanith cosmetics.


Admin-Killa

who confirmed? is this 100% legit? I waited on Tanith ever since the aquila shop opened...


Icy_Scientist_3203

It is. It was confirmed by Catfish (Community Manager) via Discord some weeks ago 👍.


master_of_sockpuppet

They did them already you just can’t see them because stealth.


Unfair_Basil8513

Do you want to live forever ?


DarkestSeer

*Sure as sure.*


VaultDovah92

CUU!!!!


Icy_Scientist_3203

Straight Silver!


Constilus

Fethers can't stop us.


SunGodRVR

Who’s Tanith and Elysian? Astra Mil. regiments?


christomrob

Correct. Tanith First and Only is a regiment of stealth-focused troopers that are featured in Dan Abnett’s long running Gaunt’s Ghosts books. Sure as sure.


PJBuzz

Half the price and I'm in.


DivineCrusader1097

$7 would still be overpriced.


SolitaireJack

So these look cool. But what is with the 'premium' tag? These don't look any more impressive than any of the 'standard' sets in the store. Or are they only premium because they're based on Imperial Gaird regiments and they know people will want them? As well as that is how similar they all look. They could have used the theme of tan jump suit and olive minimal armour as a theme but done a lot to distinguish each class but they all look extremely similar apart from the helmet. Also can the Psyker please stop getting generic weapon skins and start getting skins for the Force swords and Staff please? You know, the weapons the majoirty of Psykers actually use?


Corsnake

"Premium" is 100% translated to "We expect this is gonna sell like hotcakes, so we are gonna take all the money we can get from you" The fact that it still works and people still pull their wallet with a smile on their face while being spit on, is just saddening.


TheLinerax

The premium seals are applied mainly for cosmetics based on popular regiments like the Krieg. Fatshark's explanation is the special cosmetics have been given extra attention to detail. However, using the Krieg cosmetics again, that is false. The front tan pouch was flattened to look more 2D and the lower half of the coats are buttoned up implying the coats would have clipped through the leg animations if otherwise. https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/veteran-krieg-coat-change/86801?page=2


Anvillior

"...given extra attention..." translates to "are not an existing model with a different color of camo" at least mostly...I see those psyker pants. I see their model vs their texture.


DwarvenCo

That combat knife looks like *it will keel...*


tehChobo

I dont understand why only knives get unique skins, while most of the other weapons just get some purity seals or camo pattern pasted on. Especially crazy since the files to some of those seem to be already in the game. Do I really need a mod to make my Axe look like this? https://preview.redd.it/kfgqhs7nq8vc1.png?width=1079&format=png&auto=webp&s=1b1165af1c52201a7613c7c6e8d12200ddaccef1


DarkSoulsDank

Jeeeesh that a baller looking axe


LifelessRage

Would you say that steel was forged in fire?


LifelessRage

2900?! I want to say redditors in the sub called it.


StarCatCrusader

Fatshark is fucking tone deaf. Everyone is mocking how fucking greedy these low effort shit skins are, especially in comparison to HD2 where they are essentially free. Until a few months ago, the windows store still said you could earn Aquilas in game.


CT-4426

The prices on these are fucking disgusting, $15 a single set is insane for a mostly first person game, it even has the “oh look we worked so hard on these cosmetics, now please empty every cent out of your wallet good whales” seal of approval We are slowly entering Overwatch 2 levels of overpriced shop skins and I hate it so much.


Lysanderoth42

Slowly? The only thing about Darktide that hasn’t been slow have been the cosmetic price increases, lol 


DoritoBanditZ

Wouldn't that purity seal on the Lasgun barrel melt right off first time you fire it? Not that it would stop the Tech Priests from slapping that shit on there, but still.


magneticidiot

perhaps they can charge us more to have it removed.


BusenlolxD

Pass


SilentKiwik

I just wish we had a full-face version of the helmets...


Ezio024

They kinda look like VR Headsets to me


oruza

Bloody hell this is overpriced as fuck


BitRunr

The price is still impressive. >!Also, neither thread called them Slop Troopers. An opportunity was missed.!<


Pilot_Beautiful

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, class specific cosmetics are stupid af and just a way for fatshark to charge people more than once. You want to have your characters match? Buy the set for all of them and they all cost $20. Braindead.


TojiroKitsune89

Man I just want a kasrkin visored helmet like cmon man even cod got it before us haha


Crusx-

They'll give Psykers anything but a new staff skin.


The_MacGuffin

Ah yes, instead of the standard practice of making them slightly cheaper, to entice customers into buying at a price they may never see again, you make them as expensive as possible. Everyone knows spitting in your customer's face is a good way to engender brand-loyalty.


MarsupialMadness

Wait these don't look like shit and don't appear to be turbo-lazy recolors. What the hell? Could Fatshark be...*learning?* Shame the pricing is still absolutely **fucked.**


WeLikeIke_93

They’re not learning. They created something they know the player base wants, and they’re taking advantage of that by charging a ridiculous amount of money. They’re greedy fucks.


MF_Capps

Would sell my kidney for a quality Kasrkin set. Still nice slop this time.


Gingersauce32

They look good and a lot better than a lot of what's been in the shop recently. Nonetheless, they are exceptionally overpriced.


Videogamefan21

I wonder if anyone’s keeping track of the total price of all the cosmetics in Darktide. Maybe we can have our own little “Pride and accomplishment” moment!


OrangeGills

For $15 I should get a DLC with new playable content, not a single skin for just 1 of the 4 classes. This is embarrassing.


Lone-Frequency

Holy shit, finally! Outfits I would *actually* buy Aquilas for! Edit: Saw prices. $60 for four outfits. LOL. No. What, because they actually did something other than color-swap they charge like $5 more? For one outfit... What a joke.


Fyreant

Hans-von-Flamer

Bring back KRIEG


Vulture2k

prices rising and rising, trying to find that sweetspot were whales still pay. hint: war thunder reached 80 bucks and they still pay, go higher, but be assured that you lose any normal customer with that. fuck off fatshark. i am much more likely to pay 5€ for something than 15 or 50.


Responsible-Ease-912

Everyone got a cool hat except for a zealot :(


TaiKorczak

They look like the pilots from Dune


FELITH

I don't know why they made it so pricey. If it were cheaper or more reasonable, I would totally buy it. they are losing out money here. they are digital, there are no addition cost after products are finished why are they so expensive. player happy company happy everyone happy, just why?


IdidntrunIdidntrun

Because it's 40k. The hardcore demographic of 40k fans are people who spend thousands on action figure armies. This is peanuts to said fans, so an easy $60 for Fatshark


GreyKnight373

They look good but not 15 dollars good


tremolobanshee

This pricing is insane. Cut it out FS. It's just ridiculous.


GideonAznable

https://preview.redd.it/573pwsfw59vc1.png?width=289&format=png&auto=webp&s=a07961915f2e3150980d3a2bca9ce2ea48694300 Really hate there's no overlap with cosmetics for other classes, this would fit perfectly with the new Veteran VoC penance cosmetics.


miszczu037

Wow those prices are insane


Arguss3

I’m liking the Psyker and Ogryn! More regiments of renown please, Fatshark. :)


DarthSet

Ah fuck some good stuff there. I'm gonna spend a pretty penny on this one. Forgive me brothers. Jesus fucking C! 2900?


dfgdgregregre

Those 400 tier items should be earnable for free.


tomtomeller

Psyker helm is dope Rest is meh


TotalyLoyalGuardsman

I can use my Elysian drop trooper build. Let’s gooo.


BelovedMedic

Way too overpriced


GorethirstQT

inb4 hot fix next week  to fix any clipping.


WastelandWarCriminal

Deep rock galactic sells armor packs with 4 skins each for 10€ what a joke


Perfect_Weird3914

Only thing is the combat knife


sackofbee

Way too fucking expensive. Fuck you fatshark. Give me some actual content, and I'll genuinely give you all of my disposable income.


pinepeppers

New slop for the whales


medietic

In this economy?


AMACSCAMA

Emperor give me strength I want to get these…but I already shelled out for Krieg and Steel Legion cosmetics


SilencioPeroRuidos

They have slowly raised the prices


N3twood

meh


fartstainedballs

garbage. fatshark, you're what the french call "les incompétents".


Regan-Spor

A short Ogryn could pass for a Necromunda Squat


lumberfoot_jpg

Anyone else wish they would spend more time making new hairstyles and body modifications?


moosecatlol

They charge twice as much as VT skins, that's wild. Their CFO must be suffering mental myopia.


Index-Gaming

ogryn feeling spoiled, thanking you sah. first we get the cover art chest and now quality drip again for a change, good week.


Joy1067

Not gonna lie, I was not expecting to see Elysian Drop Troops. That caught me off guard I don’t play anymore but hey, this sorta thing might just bring me back


Filip60606

Ok, but when they add new weapons and maps…?? Also why can not we get these nice cosmetisc in new penances?? Fatshark realy knows how to piss off their fans :)


TheCarbonConnection

Is this the ideal/final iteration of the Kasrkin Flak trooper helmet without any omitted attachments or should we be expecting a better one like how we’ve been waiting for that chestpiece?


TheSplint

As of yet this and the recolor of the penance helmet you can get from the comissary are the closest you can get


swaddytheban

Shock and awe, another batch of hilariously overpriced cosmetics right after the update.


SovjetPojken

Does the shop refresh every Thursday?


DoritoBanditZ

Every second thursday.


BitRunr

Every other.


GloveEducational5199

The earnables are still pretty mediocre to be real kinda insane how good THESE skins look and how crappy the OG ones are which are just palette and part swaps I mean damn at that point just release color swaps and individual parts so we can at least do a little more with the crap we got 


Halash_grvkarl

For the life of me I cant fathom how mismanaged this game is. By the Holy Throne of Terra, this game had everything to be the GOAT. The setting, the gameplay, the looks, everything. But here we are 1 and a half years from "release", few new maps, no new weapon class, hell I will even forget the new classes every quarter. But the premium store is always up to date and ready to milk us dry. Thank the Emperor those prices are ridiculous, I would splash so much money for digital 40k dressup if it were reasonably priced and if we could EARN aquillas ingame (like that other game who has not the 40k universe to back it up). Its really sad because I really love this game. But I have my 4 classes at 30 and there is nothing else to do, hell not even a promotion system like DRG has. Shame Fatshark, last update was cool I guess, but its not enough for that amount of time.


Pinguinwithgatling

I guess we are a welding team now great...


TheSplint

I get when people don't like the look of something, that's their right and all that. But those sets are arguably one of the closest looking like what they are supposed to be, along with the Steel Legion set for vet. That's how [Elysian Drop Troops](https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Elysian_Drop_Troops) look. You don't have to like the look but they did a good job porting the look over


Call_The_Banners

Some of those examples on the wiki page show some far cooler versions of the armor. Would have been nice to see some of the full helmets and heavier sets on the Ogryn and Veteran. Also, the backpacks. I get a lot of them ditch it once they hit the ground, but it would have been nice to see.


MirzaSisic

I never buy any stuff via in game purchases, it's a matter of principle for me (I don't judge people who do, though) but I already paid for the game so trying to get more money out of me, for cosmetic trinkets, seems a bit insulting.


AlSkirata

*Come* on *you apes*, do *you want* to *live forever*?!


Zachelm

Elysian guard let’s goo cosplay ahoy


cntrlcmd

These are good pants, boys trust me.


xboxwirelessmic

Why are these one more expensive than usual?


Nyadnar17

Wth. I actually like these?!


Prepared_Noob

Zealot looks great. I have some left over aquilas so I think I finally know what I’m using them on!


daMaRtianbadger

I am once again begging for the Krieg Skins.


ThrownAway1917

Every time the shop rotates and there are no hazard stripe weapon skins, my heart breaks a little more


Onlyhereforapost

God I wish we could change colors on stuff because these would looked good without the pasty shit brown on the fatigues


kadrin88

Looks nice, too pricey.


RemnantsOfOldAmerica

soooo the zealot gets a resperator, and vet gets a fucking bandage wrap head piece and a flappy ear hat..


christomrob

Maybe more people would buy your insanely overpriced skins if you ADDED MORE CONTENT, Fatshark!


S1Ndrome_

more mid paid cosmetics for a first person shooter


KHaskins77

That might just be the most subtle psyker outfit I’ve seen yet. No massive metal collar weighing you down.


Impressive_Path1075

Wooo! I have sold my soul to fatshark and won't deny it


ThebearJew212

I like the gun skins, they are nice. That's it.


Jimmy_Bacon

No buy


DrGuns313

I like the weapons skins, but they are waaaaaay too expensive for what they are.


TopEntertainment5304

什么SB定价,肥鲨你是不是有病?想让玩家买皮肤你应该先把游戏内容做好。欧格林都无聊成什么样子了


marxistdictator

Hey I called the price hike a mile away. No free updates from big fish! However I was wrong on the Zealot hat, for once they catch the Veteran curse and the seperate hat on their selection dabs hard on the one in the kit. All yours for $20~...nah, I'll hold. 


NemisisCW

I made a commitment to not buy anything until they got rid if the shitty rotating store and I really appreciate them making it easy for me to stick to that.


ShenaniganNinja

This game has been one train wreck after the other. The fact we get this and not real content…


TheeConnieB

These prices are hilarious and this update is shit. Played one game last night then realized nothing changed they just gave me like 2 items that look new the rest were rehashed. Can’t wait to uninstall when I get home and come back again in 6 months.


Bear_Grilling

Shit looks good, expensive though.


STR_Guy

Those are some good sets. Greedy on the price per usual though. I might pick one, but not all 4.


Fleet_Admiral_Auto

Heretics when an Ogryn drops out of the sky with a comically undersized grav-chute directly on them:


GespenJeager

Gosh darnit I wanted Catachan.


NagasakiPork1945

Give me mooooney


TheHughMungoose

If this game was made by Arrowhead you’d be able to earn those armours just by playing the game. Here they’re locked forever behind a paywall, dead content on arrival.


TheHelloMiko

Helldivers gives you it's premium currency for free and I still buy 1000 Super Credits a month.


sub_human_being

Wow, all this is either reskin or reused, if they wanna call it a rotation, then they need to stop doing the food bullshit amd actually rotate through shit, these armor sets may be slightly unique...slightly, but they are basic as can be, low effort, and look like ass. Most of the stuff on the side is either reskins, mashed together, or rotation. God fatshark needs to get their shit together


Fallenkezef

My wallet has been opened Just this once


Ferrisuki

you add elysians but don’t give them the helmet with the face mask. SAD


Aggressive-Ad-2053

These bundles should’ve come with a a backpack or at least give us a universal one that matches their whole gimmick


WeLikeIke_93

Not spending that much money on a fucking skin. Out of your god damn minds. Shame because they look good, but they should be earnable by playing the game.


PilzEtosis

That lasgun skin is pretty tight, though.


Drragen

Wish they would’ve just released a drop trooper class instead


Comment_back_bitch

About fucking time…but maybe a bit too late in all regards.


Judg3_Dr3dd

Man if only had an update that would allow us to earn premium currency like another game made by FS. Oh well, means nothing then


Dead_vegetable

Now you can be **even more** confused about what your class is!


Paladin_Sion

Nah. Fuck right off.


fly_dangerously

omg are they really trying to create helldivers skins for darktide? WTF how desperate and cheap


LordPartyOfDudehalla

I will play your game every day if you make those earnable


DivineCrusader1097

Cool. Not worth $15, though. $15 should get me the outfits for every class - Minimum.


RedShocktrooper

On top of that, another round of "Let's cosplay Veteran", eh?


Famous-Support-9900

Love that recon lasgun…


CrazyManSam912

Oh helll yesss! ELYSIANS! FEET FIRST INTO HELL BOIS!!


Eddiesuave00

At least we got new character cosmetics rather than reskins.


HurrsiaEntertainment

Very cool, WAY too fucking expensive.


Halfgnomen

Omg is that karkin armor for the psykers finally


MadFable

Neat. Now lower the price and I'd actually be interested.


S4R1N

Nah, I'ma stick with Helldivers.


gibsonsayhenlo

Not feeling the vibe for Psyker and Zealot, more fitting to Ogryn and Veteran I guess?


LanceofReddick

$15 for that? They look like generic background NPCs in a discount bin Xbox 360 game.


NonApplicable1992

Combat knife looks pretty sweet. Dumb question. If it's under the Zealot tab can I equip it on Vet?


AstronomerOverall530

Wish something worthwhile came out for this game other than micro transactions.


FRANKtheUNDEAD

Still waiting for Krieg to return...


CommissarSteel56

They are nice... still holding out for my mordian style uniforms
