Helldivers CEO Johan Pilestedt has stated that a transmog system will not be added to the game because it doesn’t make sense. However, many community members are dissatisfied with this justification and continue to advocate for the inclusion of the mechanic. Some players have expressed frustration that the armor in Helldivers 2 is not distinctive enough to reflect the effects mentioned by Pilestedt. They argue that it is difficult to identify a player’s perk based on their attire.
Suggestions have been made to restrict transmog to the same weight class and to improve the communication of armor perks. Despite the discontent among players, it appears that a transmog system will not be implemented in the near future. This leaves players with the choice of prioritizing fashion or defense while representing Super Earth in the ongoing Galactic War.
