“A good suggestion all round”: Helldivers 2 Needs Something Revolutionary to Bring the Players Back, and This May Be It
Being able to select color palettes for your armor in Helldivers 2 sounds awesome, doesn't it? Hopefully, Arrowhead Game Studios makes that happen soon!
It’s a tricky time for Arrowhead Game Studio’s Helldivers 2. Although the game has continued to retain a dedicated community of players who are ready to vouch for its highly addictive gameplay loop, concerns about the lack of new content for the game leading to its player base bleeding out gradually over time are all too real for the company.
However, the game’s recent Independence Day update saw a few meaningful upgrades to existing Stratagems in the game that increased their utility while also making players hopeful of more new content being added to the game in future updates.
Helldivers 2 Players Are the Game’s Best Asset
With many players finding creative ways to keep enjoying the game as they wait for new content, Helldivers 2 continues to defy all odds and remain the third-person shooter of choice for its dedicated community. A part of that success is certainly due to the game’s fans who continue to stick with it and provide suggestions to improve the experience for Arrowhead Game Studios to consider.
SUGGESTION: “Why don’t we have a mission…”: Helldivers 2’s Missing a Mission It Constantly Teases
One such player has taken to Reddit to suggest a simple change to the game that could be quite easy for the studio to add to the game. It would also work well within the game’s premise of a squad of elite troops taking on missions to spread Democracy across the galaxy by improving the scope that they have to express themselves in unique ways.
A Suggestion That Could Redefine the Helldivers 2 Experience
The Reddit post in question makes a simple suggestion: allow players to customize individual pieces of their armor to allow for more mixing and matching between various sets.
SUGGESTED: “Looked like it was shooting the automaton ship”: Is Helldivers 2’s New Faction Already Here?
Considering that the game has already implemented this in a rather one-sided way, the below post’s suggestion to bring the option to players certainly makes sense.
The ability to customize armor sets with color palettes would certainly add a layer of nuance to every Helldivers 2 squad’s unique strategies and improve their immersion as they play the game. It could also allow players to experiment with their looks as they take on Terminids and Automatons while waiting for The Illuminate to make their eventual entrance to the game.
Other players responding to the post seem to agree with the suggestion to add customizable armor pieces to the game.
Another player points to a game with a similar premise to Helldivers, and the inclusion of armor that can be palette-swapped in it.
It’s an idea that could work very well in Arrowhead’s favor if they were to implement it. It could also make the wait for new content a bit more bearable for its devoted player base, giving the studio more time to fine-tune its latest offerings and put its best foot forward for its players.
