A highly requested Helldivers 2 feature would be bittersweet

Helldivers 2 offers a variety of customizations, from changing the name of one's ship to choosing weapons and stratagems to bring to missions. While this is all good, the game can still be seen as lacking in customization when it comes to changing the appearance of the player. This could be the reason Helldivers 2 is looking for a highly requested feature in armor, one that involves people being able to change the color scheme of different pieces. While it is a step towards more personal features in terms of customization, it may not meet the expectations of players, especially since it will lack something that players would probably appreciate.

Helldivers 2Creative director and former CEO Johan Pilestedt responded to fan requests about the ability to customize the color of armor in the game with a hopeful response stating that it could be implemented in the future. As good as this would be for those looking forward to more customization options, it was also said that a transmog system would not be coming. Such a decision could leave a sour taste, as many fans have been asking for the ability to wear any armor and change its appearance while keeping its effects.

Helldivers 2's interactive emotes have only scratched the surface

The interactive emotes in Helldivers 2 are a fun little form of engagement and have the potential to go further than they currently are.

The possible color customization feature in Helldivers 2 highlights the need for transmogs

The ability to customize armor color is undoubtedly one of the most needed features or improvements Helldivers 2. However, it would have been even better if they also included the option to transform different parts into anything one wants. Pilestedt has stated that he dislikes transmogrification because it conflicts with the vision of the armor in the game: to have a unique appearance to emphasize their different purposes. However, not including the feature feels like a missed opportunity for several reasons:

Players unable to convert their armor into other sets they already have can feel forced to use what the game dictates is good for missions
Changing armor pieces and their colors at will while keeping their effects could have inspired a lot of creativity, making people want to get even more armor to see what combinations they could find.
The inclusion of a transmog system would have emphasized the possibilities for personal customization even more than simple color changes, raising the community's anticipation for things to come

Hopefully Pilestedt and the rest of the team will reconsider adding transmogrification, as it could lead to players designing some of the coolest armor in Helldivers 2 and attracting more people because of the freedom they can have with their appearance.

What Helldivers 2's upcoming color customization feature can do to make up for the game not having a transmog option.

Color customization might be a satisfying feature, but this one Helldivers 2 should consider updating once it's in the game. If, at launch, it only allowed players to choose from a limited number of color palettes, there wouldn't be much to do. However, if it is updated to allow people to use a color wheel to choose whatever decorations they want, it opens up more possibilities for creativity and ensures that more time is spent on it. It might even lead to Arrowhead Game Studios updating the feature to allow repainting of various details in armor pieces such as padding, gloves, heels and so on. Such color control can make up for the lack of a transmog option by giving players options in a different way.

The lack of a transmog system could set an unfortunate precedent for Helldivers 2his customization options, but adding the ability to change armor colors would at least be a good compromise. If it's updated to be more than just a color changer, it could become a major reason why people will continue to play the game.
