In the realm of gaming, the allure of a transmogrification system is undeniable. It offers the chance to flaunt a stylish costume without compromising your current stats. However, the desire for such a feature in Helldivers 2 remains unfulfilled.
The disappointment stemmed from a declaration by Johan Pilestedt, the CEO of Arrowhead and the creative mind behind the sequel. Pilestedt firmly stated that transmogrification would not fit into the world of Helldivers 2.
We will not do transmog. It doesn’t make sense. Equipment looks different because it has different effects. Swapping one for the other is like having an apple that tastes like bacon or the other way around.

The community’s response to this decision was mixed. Some argued that the current armor variations lack distinctiveness, making it challenging to discern their unique perks. Others suggested a compromise of allowing armor customization through repainting or color adjustments to maintain a cohesive look. The consensus seemed to be a desire for uniformity in appearance while fighting for democracy.
Recently, Helldivers 2 underwent various patches by Arrowhead, addressing bugs and introducing level 4 upgrades for ship modules, showcasing the developer’s commitment to enhancing the gameplay experience.
