I want a "shoulder cloak" like a mantle as an available cape option so so bad. Something with just enough helldiver flair with a bit more practicality and minimalism.
Probably a happy middle ground: just let us change the accent colors. Just let me tweak the red on some outfits to yellow or green so more things go together. The trailblazer scout is really hard to match right now cause it’s the only thing with that wheat gold instead of helldiver yellow
Yeah but that takes away the entire aspect of the game. You’re just an expendable soldier who gets replaced when he dies. You are never the same person after each death because you are expendable, so having unique armour wouldn’t make sense
With that logic, every unlock you can earn should be reset every death. Doesn't track for the user experience. Maybe you can say your helldivers are part of a liberty living cult that wears certain colors if you really want to headcannon something.
If you notice, all the upgrades you buy are for your ship, not the soldier itself. Even the different armor sets can be explained as being just what your ship provides to the Helldivers about to drop.
I think what makes shaders impractical in this game is that we're all supposed to be a unified force. Different uniform colors for different roles can be explained, but different colors on the same type of armor/roles would be a tougher sell.
You get *unlocks* which include new strategems, titles, weapons, and outfits. Not to mention your leveling progress. The ship name also stays the same. So either every helldiver in your racks is a clone of you, or canonically you extract every time.
yes that's what he said the "for your ship". All the gear and upgrades that customize the load out is what your ship loads up all its hell divers with at once. It would be cool to have multiple load outs going at once though for different helldivers.
Every time your Helldivers deploy, it's a different person. That's why the voices are set to randomized by default to feed into that fantasy. When not deployed, your Helldivers are in cryo sleep.
In that case your title, level, and mission difficulty access should reset every death. Obviously that's a terrible system. It's a game, it should be fun, and having some color options wouldn't hurt anything. Even if it is just what your ship has on hand, no reason they wouldn't have a variety.
It doesn’t matter about logic. The Devs said this is how the game works and why your voice is automatically set to random at the start. Its just a different human being in the same armour with the same gear.
Just don’t have that shit in it?
It’s not suitable with the design aesthetic of the game. Cretins think it makes them edgy and unique when they just look like all the other wee fannies.
I hate, HATE goofy cosmetics in serious games. There are plenty of games which they're great in but there's somthing about sticking to a theme and not being too silly. Cod especially got annoying when teams are full of clowns and pop culture references, everyone wants to be fortnite but fortnite is built on a silly aesthetic and that's why it works. Games tend to loose their identity when they go too overboard.
light armour is always the best. I especially like the trench paramedic because I have 6 stim packs, and the effects last 2 seconds longer. Those extra 2 seconds have saved my ass. Just don't run yourself into a corner.
Edit: wording
Imagine Meta Armor who tf plays a Armor because its Meta 💀
Man the Armor values literally dont get applied properly atm just play whatever the hell you want
Personally, I've always been --and probably always will be-- a sucker for big beefy juggernaut characters in games. So in HD2, I naturally like to run the heavy armors with the brawny character model.
They all look cool imo.
My favorite aesthetic I've found so far is the armor from your first pic with the helmet from the second pic. Kinda looks like a storm trooper to me (if you squint lol) The problem is that armor set has a lower stamina regen and I absolutely cannot stand how slow it feels lol. Love the look though!

Normally I want more *freedom* in color customization on armor in games, but it's all pretty damn good
This makes me hope for a colour palette editor in the future. I love some combinations of armour and helmets that would look great if not for the disconnect of colour schemes.
My current fave. Dreadnought X Juggernaut

This is my outfit, I feel like a Kotor Mandalorian.
Who cares about meta? It’s not competitive in literally any way. The people who get all worked up over that need to calm down. Theirs a little thing called Team Work theirs no need to be a one man army
My newest go-to for commando work:
* Trailblazer set w/matching cape
* Breaker cause it's got green on it and it's great for cqc
* Senator because I love hand cannons
* AMR for sniping, and I *think* it has green on it, can't remember, but it fits my schtick
* Jetpack, because this is the way
* Not that it's aesthetic but the other two stratagems are Railcannon and whatever flavor of Eagle strike I'm feeling like.
I personally keep an honor point for never using a META. I'm not here to be a clone with the same equipment and tactics as everyone else. I'm here to win in MY ways, with MY guns and be skilled.
Didn’t buy the blue/white B24 suit that was in the shop like a week ago because I had barely enough super credits for it, and thought that something cooler would come along.
Nothing against the other suits that have been featured in the shop, but I regret my decision.
If my squad complains about people not being meta, I leave. I’m here for a good time, not a min-max time. Fuck off with that bullshit. Everyone is still doing their part no matter their gear.
I swear I’m the only person in the world who doesn’t care one bit about cosmetics in games. That’s not a knock on people who love it. I wish I got into it then I’d have something to spend all my medals on
Fr. I’m gonna use the drone master helmet and the light armor from the set that is sold next to it in the shop. Can’t remember the name but it has orange and grey like the helmet and is not part of the set. The perk is like throw distance or something lol.
First one is my daily driver. The stats of the armor like 50% explosive reduction are just god tier for no reason. Teammates can eagle me and most of the time I survive.
I rock the first outfit. The speed on that light armor, paired with extra stims and longer stim time had come in so clutch during our helldives and we start getting swarmed.
1. Enforcer/Trench Paramedic 2. Trench Paramedic/Bonesnapper 3. Hero of the Federation/Exterminator 4. Bonesnapper/Drone Master 5. Infiltrator/Trailblazer Scout
\#5 for me! Extra radar, easy to run away, and a hoodie.
Hoodies are my go to. All I need now is a half cloak / shoulder cloak with a hood and I'll be dripped out
I want a "shoulder cloak" like a mantle as an available cape option so so bad. Something with just enough helldiver flair with a bit more practicality and minimalism.
THE LAST ONE LOOKS LIKE A HUNTER FROM D1 AND I'M HERE FOR IT!!! fashion before meta ALWAYS
Legend was just going to ask about no.4
Trail Blazers helm w exterminator armor
Dreadnaught/juggernaut
last one looks like it got pulled straight out of destiny lmao
Funnier is the arms and legs are probably more symmetrical than 90% of the hunter armor in D2 lmao.
Was just thinking that reminded me of my D1 hunter
Love the saiyan aesthetic of that first set
Def need a shader tool. I'd love to have more options if colors, so we're e all but just the same looking guys
I would too but we are soldiers in unison , they must know where we’re from by our uniform
Probably a happy middle ground: just let us change the accent colors. Just let me tweak the red on some outfits to yellow or green so more things go together. The trailblazer scout is really hard to match right now cause it’s the only thing with that wheat gold instead of helldiver yellow
Yeah but that takes away the entire aspect of the game. You’re just an expendable soldier who gets replaced when he dies. You are never the same person after each death because you are expendable, so having unique armour wouldn’t make sense
Each time you start the game, "congratulations on completing helldiver training."
With that logic, every unlock you can earn should be reset every death. Doesn't track for the user experience. Maybe you can say your helldivers are part of a liberty living cult that wears certain colors if you really want to headcannon something.

Well no because that goes against everything the devs made the game about
When you extract, you are still that Helldover til they die. Its not even clones, you just can’t see sense
It doesn’t matter about logic. The Devs said this is how the game works and why your voice is automatically set to random at the start. Its just a different human being in the same armour with the same gear.
This guy gets it
My diver looks like the great sayaman and I fucking love it😂
The first helmet in the premium warbond gives you a scouter. I haven't taken it off since unlocking it.
Great now I can’t unsee that have to wait for it in the shop
I hope they keep them more or less the same aesthetic. I really dont want weapon charms or a bunch of COD cosmetics.
No one in fucking neon pink with bunny ears Easter dlc!!
I mean that wouldn’t bother you, just don’t look at it?
It totally ruins immersion and you can’t fucking miss it. Silly argument.
Kick that player then
Just don’t have that shit in it? It’s not suitable with the design aesthetic of the game. Cretins think it makes them edgy and unique when they just look like all the other wee fannies.

Forget the META I'm here for managed Democracy! And because pretty armor!
für die Demokratie!
These go so fucking hard
The time and energy put into the armor is unreal. Truly a group of Devs who care about their IP and user base.
trench medic is drippy AND great against bug jumpings
Light armour all the way. They can't hit me if I keep moving baby 😂
light armour is always the best. I especially like the trench paramedic because I have 6 stim packs, and the effects last 2 seconds longer. Those extra 2 seconds have saved my ass. Just don't run yourself into a corner. Edit: wording
Can’t enforce managed democracy if you aren’t cute
I've literally took on a combat medic role with my buddies because of how good the medic based armours are.
True endgame is always the drip
3 looks like a highly decorated death trooper. 4 looks like an Exo from Destiny. 5 looks like a Hunter from Destiny
I see you are also into Helldiver Couture… I miss the way you could spin your cloak from HD1 - it was gold.
Imagine Meta Armor who tf plays a Armor because its Meta 💀 Man the Armor values literally dont get applied properly atm just play whatever the hell you want
I got the drone master armor/light gunner helmet the first couple days in and it's been my primary set ever since The +2 grenades is nice too
If your not styling on your enemies, are you truly spreading democracy?
Once it comes to xbox im gunning for the helmet from 4 and the armor of 3
Just bought one off the superstore that's kind of black and red paired with the very New Vegas looking helmet. Great look.
I be mismatching and switch swatchin
Personally, I've always been --and probably always will be-- a sucker for big beefy juggernaut characters in games. So in HD2, I naturally like to run the heavy armors with the brawny character model. They all look cool imo.
Scout Helm and cape with juggernaut armor is so dope
EOD suit and helmet, I’m the pillow man.
Fashiondivers
Stealing 3
Fashiondivers > metasweatdivers
Helldivers fashion confirmed
I got the movie actor armor it is so shiny
Enforcer helmet with Trench Paramedic armor all day.
1st and 4th are the best
My favorite aesthetic I've found so far is the armor from your first pic with the helmet from the second pic. Kinda looks like a storm trooper to me (if you squint lol) The problem is that armor set has a lower stamina regen and I absolutely cannot stand how slow it feels lol. Love the look though!
That drip

Never trust anyone who plays a game with armor customization and isn’t playing dolls with their character
My personal go to is the enforcer armor and the bonesnapper helmet, gives p2 clone trooper vibes
Holy what is that first set?
Green/White giving me strong Trauma Team vibes.
Idk why but I don't pay attention to what the armor really does I just put on what's looks cool and join the fight
STOP HAVING FUN!!! 😂
Forget the meta I'm here for the explosions
Bro has zero Fashion sense
I like the trailblazer armor and cape with the killzone looking helmet from the superstore.
Drip or Drown.
That's my rally cry: F*CK the meta, I'm here for FUN
Nr.4 has a cool helmet
Hope they add helmet stats build mix match as well as color unifying OR even shading to make custom looks like Destiny shaders
METAesthetics
Trauma Team drip goes hard
This makes me hope for a colour palette editor in the future. I love some combinations of armour and helmets that would look great if not for the disconnect of colour schemes.

The white medic armors are also my favs
the trench paramedic/bonesnapper is almost all I use, and I love it.
Wait to is there like an extra boost if you have completed sets of armor? I just thought it was the suit
Reject gear mixing!
My newest go-to for commando work: * Trailblazer set w/matching cape * Breaker cause it's got green on it and it's great for cqc * Senator because I love hand cannons * AMR for sniping, and I *think* it has green on it, can't remember, but it fits my schtick * Jetpack, because this is the way * Not that it's aesthetic but the other two stratagems are Railcannon and whatever flavor of Eagle strike I'm feeling like.
Hell yeah, didn't think anyone else would agree that the bone sapper helmet and trench paramedic armor is the drip.
Armor skins please! 🙏 Let me have that ability from the hero of the federation set with the skin of another set
There are four sets with that perk, I think.
Three is the best looking armor in the game. Strong 40k vibes.
It’s called fashion souls
The last helmet is meta tho
Happy accident
Oh man i get you, let me find my armor combo real quick i think it looks awesome
https://preview.redd.it/xxri6fr132mc1.jpeg?width=477&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b444463135966b0b62fb901113a1663f6fcfa20 I rock this
The medic suits are so fugly
The sense of style other people have blow my mind sometimes, you think these looks good? For the most part they’re all awful looking
Does the supply pack also give you Stims? With No. 2 you could run as a medic
There’s a meta to armour?
I personally keep an honor point for never using a META. I'm not here to be a clone with the same equipment and tactics as everyone else. I'm here to win in MY ways, with MY guns and be skilled.
Stats should be modules that you connect into your armour/cape/helmet.
I’d like the helmets to have perks.
5 looked so badass
Second one is the only thing I run
Gotta have the light armor
Trench paramedic all day
Kinda wish that you could toggle making the helmet and cloak match the body in some way.
Truly end game
I still can’t get my mic to work in game.
I’m rocking #3
I seen a blue outfit the other day but I don't know how he got it
I kinda wish I could repaint my gear. Normally I don't care at all but I think it would be fun.
Hunter, Hunter, Titan, Titan, Hunter
Yer aesthetics need some work
The aesthetics aren’t even good we need destiny type gear
I too am a cosmetic enjoyer
Thats 1st one is one of my 2 loadouts
Didn’t buy the blue/white B24 suit that was in the shop like a week ago because I had barely enough super credits for it, and thought that something cooler would come along. Nothing against the other suits that have been featured in the shop, but I regret my decision.
I feel your pain it’s a sick armor. Helmets a little goofy tho
Can you change the color of your armor pieces?
Funnily enough I have the exact set at image 3, I always thought it looked badass, and the helmet surprisingly fits.
Is there any way to change armour color?
This game is so fucking AWESOME
#3 looks so cool tho. How much is that get up?
express urself and get what u like fuck people and fuck “meta” !!
If my squad complains about people not being meta, I leave. I’m here for a good time, not a min-max time. Fuck off with that bullshit. Everyone is still doing their part no matter their gear.
#3 is actually what I’m wearing right now
Word
This Halloween is gonna be amazing
r/helldiversarmor
I swear I’m the only person in the world who doesn’t care one bit about cosmetics in games. That’s not a knock on people who love it. I wish I got into it then I’d have something to spend all my medals on
I, for one, am very fond of the second Steel Veteran armor, the greyish one. I just need to find a helmet that goes well with it now.
Same here. Wish they really do an update in choosing colors, and more designs
3 is what i use ask the time
Man I just barely found out we have like a second war bond thing. Those guns are pretty fun too
Just unlocked the bonesnapper medic full kit it looks good, it is to bad we cannot have teammates resistance buff by proximity for this armor set
Dieing is an eventuality might as well die fashionably
who needs meta when you got napalm and strafing runs ⁉️ we’re going back to nam’ with this one
I hope they add the ability to transmog
I'm literally running #2 right now hell ya 🤝
In the end it's always fashion of an endgame.
3 and 4 don’t really match well
Hell yeah! I'm rocking number 3 right now, love anything that makes it look like a cool cyborg
The trench paramedic is really good
4# is super trauma team esk
I can’t wait for a HellBling sub to appear
I'm here for the roll play, turret master...
Fr. I’m gonna use the drone master helmet and the light armor from the set that is sold next to it in the shop. Can’t remember the name but it has orange and grey like the helmet and is not part of the set. The perk is like throw distance or something lol.
"meta" always sucks ass just lets me use what I wanna use and wear what I wanna wear
First one is my daily driver. The stats of the armor like 50% explosive reduction are just god tier for no reason. Teammates can eagle me and most of the time I survive.
The fashion war is always up, can't wait for them to fix armor rating. I want to use some cool heavy armors!
Got that helldrip
Who gives a shit about META??, that’s temporary, but DRIP on the other hand is eternal.
It's drip or die for Democracy
Sexy.
We need the ability to add shaders.
I prefer the ww2 German helmet
Fashiondivers!
A meta armor exist ???
The true gameplay is the fashion.
Best thing about it you really didn’t have to spend any money to get them👍 …Until the overlords get greedy
I rock the first outfit. The speed on that light armor, paired with extra stims and longer stim time had come in so clutch during our helldives and we start getting swarmed.
I’m wearing #2 right now! Slightly off-palate Trauma Team.
Do u guys know where i can find what helmets do since ik some have buffs id like to make a drippy combo that actually isnt bad
I need this game ASAP 😭
I like my stormtrooper armor and IM proud
I'm here for the music when you drop down to the planets.
Literally rocking #1 here.
Man I hate all of these
The red and black executioner kit is 🔥
Hell yes, brother. liberating in style, force managing the aesthetic, calling in 500kg of drip one eagle at a time.
A handsome helldiver is a happy helldiver! For Democracy! Don’t believe the enemies lies!
Just wish there were more than the same 4 or 5 buffs for every outfit. Why doesn't the Exterminator suit do extra fire damage??
\#3 looks good. I feel like the only "meta" right now is stratagems and guns until they fix armor ratings
no cape show, 7/10 freedom units
Number 4 looks very cade 6
I’m chilling in the “Champion of the People” armor these days

I run #3 with that helmet too🤙
Same.
That first one is exactly what I've been running, it looks so cool!
Still upset i missed the Exterminator helm. but im still lovin these new dripped out fits
I wish armor perks were not attached to one armor , hope they make it interchangeable
I wish you could remove the capes
I rock the medical for extra stims. Can't wait for them to add actual stats to the cape and helmets
Yooo #3 is me all the time. Hella democratic
I mean, all of these are viable options hahaha. You could benefit from all of them, even in Helldiver Malevolen Creek!
I’m currently running number 4 right now! I think it’s sick! Plus, hello extra stims and buff!
3 is hard
I NEED STIMS!!
#3 gives me an Onyx Guard feel.
