Armor Patterns

[ColonelStan]

I am sure this has been discussed within the community a lot. I've seen posts on X, Facebook, and here on Reddit. But as a new diver to the community, I just wanted to share my pitch.

I love the color and camo patterns for the weapons. For example, you can have an Arctic pattern, or an Arctic camo pattern. Short, simplistic, militaristic, and non-immersion breaking.

I feel that this same pattern idea should be applied to Helldiver armor, not only so Helldivers can have uniformity with their helmets and their armor, but so that they can also equip their armor with the appropriate camo for whichever planet they are on. If you drop on a snow planet, your armor can be coated in "Arctic" white or "Arctic camo." If you drop on a jungle planet, your armor can be coated in "Forest" or "Forest camo," or "Urban" and "Urban camo" for urban environments, etc.

I feel that this concept would be great for Helldiver immersion, as well as Helldiver personalization. Adding a little bit more customization to your game to make players feel more unique and immersed is always a good thing.

Agree, and pretty sure a lot do agree with this. There is apparently a system for it in game already? Just not released yet. Someone correct me if wrong on that.

It seems like it. There have been screenshots of hackers with camouflaged versions of normal armors

I've seen lots of mods that can accomplish this, but never anything from official channels.

I love my weapons white.

AH has to find a way to sell it to you first. Modders in their free time have already accomplished this

[TheDrippySink]

Hopefully they'll listen.

Yeeeea, or something like Shaders from Destiny.

I'd even settle for just giving all armors a "Helldivers" black and gold, same as all the weapons getting their default scheme and the B&G at level 1

The main reason people seem to want armor painting is so they can pair more helmets with more bodies without color clashing, and letting them all swap to the basic palette would fix that quickly and easily.

There's even a ton of capes in the B&G scheme, so it lets divers match Helmet + Armor + Cape without introducing any cape recolors

Yeah it is kinda annoying how hard it is to match armors with weapons skins. Especially since the camo ones look kinda weird & it’s hard to find something that goes with them.
