The same armor effects are getting old in Helldivers 2 and players are taking notice of it. In recent weeks, many have complained about the Polar Patriots armor sets that we got. This is because the effects the armors have don’t match the armors themselves. If you look through the list of armor in Helldivers 2, you will see that many of them have copied/pasted effects that don’t feel unique. This is something that is worth changing and one player has shown what the effects could look like.
User CouldBeBetterTBH on Reddit posted images of how they would change the armor in Helldivers 2 to spice things up. They give four solid examples that include the Drone Master armor having passives that increase a drone’s aiming speed, the Winter Warrior armor having abilities that help with stealth on ice planets, and the Combat Technician armor having passives that increase stamina and melee damage.
We are not the only ones who have noticed how much better these effects are as hundreds of players commented on the post giving praise. One user commented, “Dude if that vet armor added a grenade arc HUD placement that would’ve been cool AF.” Another user commented, “I’d love a gunslinger armor with a passive that increases reload speed on primaries and secondaries and increases draw speed for secondaries.” These are effects that players truly want but they also don’t trust Arrowhead to make the changes.
One user said, “What I see is a huge wrench of complexity that inevitably leads to a ton of armor bugs that Arrowhead will never figure out or track down.” They aren’t wrong here as every patch for Helldivers 2 has also added multiple bugs that later need to be patched out. The game has been in constant need of repair since its launch so the likelihood of us getting bonuses such as these in the future is slim.
