One of the biggest complaints in Helldivers 2, aside from the bugs, is the amor passives. Sure, some of them are nice, but most of them don’t make sense for the armor you are wearing. Multiple players have taken the time to create their own armor passives and it is about time that Arrowhead adds some of them to the game. After all, it would make the game more interesting and allow players to create better builds around weapons they like.
In the past, one player took to Reddit to show off some armor concepts they had come up with. These concepts got a lot of attention and many said they should get a job at Arrowhead. Now, Reddit user Human_the_archivist has come up with their own passives that some of the current armors should have.
Among these passives are the following:
- Asbestos Lining – Reduce fire damage by 70% and prevents the player from catching fire by environmental effects
- Shock Absorbers – Removes fall damage, prevents being ragdolled by diving, prevents staggering
- Extra Pockets – Additional magazine count
- Arcade-F – The arc and distance which a grenade can be thrown is displayed
One ability not on the list includes a samples detector that takes the form of the stock market – a hilarious way to see where samples are that fits with the game’s theme. One user stated, “We have discussed how there needs to be a “pyro” armor. I like the Asbestos angle. Feels on brand.” This passive has been talked about multiple times in the past. With how many players like to use fire when dealing with Terminids, it would be great to have something to help protect against the flames.
Another armor passive that many have mentioned is the ability to carry more ammo. Since the reduction in ammo reserves, players have mentioned that it would be nice to have more ammo again. We will see what happens in the upcoming update that is said to have “a bit of everything.” This patch will be released sometime in the near future.
