The dialogue of armor cosmetics and transmog in Helldivers 2 has been ongoing since its launch, however now we all know for positive it’s by no means coming to the sport as a function.

The gear gamers can unlock with earned and premium forex in Helldivers 2 permits them to experiment with totally different protecting loadouts. Varied gear units present totally different buffs in missions, however, as with most video games that provide a number of gear units, gamers additionally like to decorate their Helldivers for fashion. Sadly for these gamers who wish to have style Helldivers, a system that enables them to transmog their gear isn’t ever going to be within the recreation.

Transmog received’t ever come to Helldivers 2 as a result of “It doesn’t make sense,” based on the dev’s CEO

In response to a reasonably complete submit from Helldivers Alerts on Twitter about how developer Arrowhead Sport Studios might implement lessons and armor, one fan questioned whether or not transmog might simply be used. In spite of everything, this could enable gamers to create the look and construct they need for his or her Helldivers. Nevertheless, the developer’s CEO, Johan Pilestedt, jumped in to close this concept down.

The reasoning behind that is sound. The gear in Helldivers 2 is designed round its goal. Closely armored gear appears to be like cumbersome and powerful, whereas gentle armor that conducts electrical energy sparks, visually indicating to everybody that this Helldiver can survive a Tesla Tower.

For now, gamers have to be happy with their capability to create customized Helldivers primarily based on the gear they’ll get within the recreation. I’ve seen some gamers working gear with white accents and purple. Personally, I wish to make a tanky Helldiver across the FS-55 Devastator armor, which has armor plating so excessive I don’t assume the Helldiver may even see.

I’d like to see a few of these lessons carried out so that they’re extra impactful, however I additionally recognize how that would utterly spoil the design behind Helldivers 2. In spite of everything, each mission is constructed to work no matter crew composition, but when squads all of the sudden begin to want 4 separate lessons, it could dramatically change the expertise.

It’s a disgrace as a result of the unique submit actually does have some nice concepts. Whereas most of us recognize that stats are locked to sure armor items, we nonetheless dabble with customized cosmetics utilizing varied Capes, Helmets, and even weapons bought from Warbonds. Primarily based on this suggestions, we are able to solely hope that Arrowhead Sport Studios launches extra Warbonds with great-looking gear to fulfill the neighborhood’s want for extremely purposeful freedom-spreading style.
