Helldivers 2 creative director once said transmog "doesn't make sense" for the shooter, but has now confirmed Arrowhead is "looking into" armor color customization

It sounds like Helldivers 2 players could eventually have a few more options when it comes to picking out their perfect Terminid-squashing attire, as the third-person shooter's creative director confirms that Arrowhead is "looking into" armor color customization.

In Helldivers 2, armor isn't just for show – depending on what you wear, you have access to different passive abilities and stats, meaning that it's just as important a part of your loadout as your weapons and stratagems. It's also for this reason that creative director Johan Pilestedt previously explained that a transmog option that'd allow you to strut your stuff in whatever armor you like on the outside while reaping the passive benefits of something else underneath just wouldn't "make sense." Back in April, he said: "We are not doing transmog. It doesn't make sense – equipment looks different because it has different effects. Swapping one for the other is like having an apple that tastes like bacon or the other way around."
