Helldivers 2 CEO Says 'Hold Your Horses' on Armor Customization – But There's Hope, Divers!
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
The CEO of Helldivers 2's developer said that armor customization isn't coming soon, but the feature is still high on the priority list. So, the good news is that it's being worked on and it should be worth the wait!
Right, listen up, Helldivers! Word on the street – or rather, the Discord – is that Arrowhead Game Studios isn't rushing into armor color customization just yet. I know, I know, you're itching to strut onto the battlefield in hot pink or maybe even tactical glitter (please, let tactical glitter be a thing!). But hold your fire, because according to CEO Shams Jorjani himself, they want to "take extra care with such a feature."
Now, before you start muttering about corporate overlords and delayed gratification, let's unpack this. Jorjani dropped this tidbit in response to the age-old question: “When are we getting fancy armor colors, eh?” (Okay, maybe it wasn’t worded exactly like that, but you get the gist). He admitted it's “high on the list” for fans. High on the list! That's practically a promise, right?
The crucial bit here is the "not rushing it" part. Think about it: do we really want a half-baked, buggy customization system that looks like a toddler attacked it with a digital crayon box? Nah, I reckon not. Arrowhead has been pretty stellar so far with keeping the player base happy – remember the whole mechs saga? – so maybe, just maybe, we should trust their process on this one.
It's worth noting that this isn't exactly fresh intel. The Helldivers 2 team has been poking around the idea of armor customization since way back in November. But given the constant barrage of bug squashing, new stratagems (anyone else obsessed with the Warp Pack?), and general galactic peacekeeping, it's understandable that tie-dye armor hasn't been priority numero uno.
The good news? It sounds like when the feature *does* eventually arrive, it will be something special. Something worth waiting for. Maybe we'll get custom patterns? Camouflage options? Or, dare I dream, the ability to slap on racing stripes for extra speed?
And, hey, if you're feeling a bit down about the color situation, remember that Helldivers 2 is hitting Xbox Series X/S next month. More divers, more democracy, more targets for your currently monochrome bullets! So cheer up, buttercup. Super Earth will be rocking custom colors eventually. Just gotta have a little faith... and maybe a healthy dose of explosives to keep the bugs at bay while we wait.
