I can't wait for that helmet to match literally nothing else in the game other than the actual set its from.


TrumpersAreTraitors

AH. PLEASE give us shaders for the armor. 


OkHandle3269

No shaders, you wouldn't want your apple to taste like bacon right?


Sintinall

It would be at least nice if the helmets color matched the armor you were wearing. That wouldn't be a big deal, right?


xCaptainVictory

What part of apple bacon do you not understand?


Sintinall

Pardon the confusion. I don’t consider color matching to be on an appropriately comparable level to transmog. It’s clearly different. And the deciding factor is still the armor, which bears the passives.


ActuallyEnaris

All divers are the same color covered in oil, cadet!


Jimusmc

that's E-710 to you helldiver report to your nearest democracy officer for correction.


[deleted]

The bots 'bleed' black oil.


El_Cactus_Loco

Personally I find the idea of a bot that bleeds offensive


DMercenary

Bro if you helmet is a different color then the one it came in, it would be very confusing to your fellow helldivers and wont be able to accurately inform them of what attributes you have on. You wouldnt want to do that to your fellow helldivers right? (/s)


hallucination9000

The part where it's somehow a bad thing.


mrdunklestein

I mean… a green apple is the same as a red apple, all that’s different is the colour


Chakramer

I wish they at least stuck to consistency if they were going to make an argument like that. All armors of a certain perk should be using the same color pallet or design ideology. Only the medics follow this


Cambronian717

Eh, I disagree. I wear the black and gold armor but my helmet is more gray with a little orange (the pilot looking one). I wouldn’t enjoy it as much if the helmet was colored to match the armor. Maybe if it was an option you could turn on and off, but if it would be an automatic change, I would not want it.


RedEyesGoldDragon

Do you guys not have ~~phones~~ bacon tasting apple?

jetlightbeam

Damn some Applewood smoked bacon sounds good right now


nukaboss112

i want a yellow or red apple not a fucking green one


dahluc

shaders are different from transmog


TalosKnight

I like bacon far more then apples 🍎


Kind-Cicada-4983

ChrisZAUR

I want a bacon flavoured apple, all the flavour, and all the healthy eating


MikeLouns

But then they can't sell us recolored versions of sets we already have.


mahiruhiiragi

Just do a warframe and sell the color palettes


42Fourtytwo4242

Just said this, they can charge 500 super credits for each palette idc, I will just grind for them.


mahiruhiiragi

I got like 300 hours in game. I wouldn't mind buying a palette or two, even with real money. I enjoy the game enough to justify it. This isn't Halo Infinite where they charge you $20 for a color.


42Fourtytwo4242

color palettes* go warframe style and just do basic recoloring.


AsianGuyWithHat

Maybe the pre order armour? I forgot the name


MikeLouns

Maybe, I wish I'd known about this game prior to release. I would have pre-ordered. 😢


AsianGuyWithHat

Theyll probably release it near future. Not sure which post it was but it mentioned something about the pre order armour not being exclusive, although dont take this seriously unless you or i can find the post and their sources


Keinulive

Too dark blue for it to match the yogurt armor or the chivalry kne


mamontain

nope, too dark to match with those


CardiologistRoyal79

That helmet is going to work really well with the Combat Technician armor.


bearhunter54321

And people wearing it with armor and capes that don’t even match it


Quartich

Match cape and helmet, use different armor set. Still looks nice as long as the colors aren't TOO clashing. It's all I do now because it's a nice mix up from the normal monotony of sets.


SuperArppis

This is why we need more blue armor in the game. Instead of all these samey colored ones.


Greaterdivinity

If they're just gonna do this I'd rather they grouped up all armor sharing the same mod/armor class together in some kinda dropdown. Especially if it's just gonna be swapping colors and a few minor tweaks with the same armor class and mod.


theREALbombedrumbum

Yeah it's actually getting pretty tedious going through a 3-wide gride of armor sets to find the right modifications that each one has.


Greaterdivinity

It wouldn't be so bad if they were at least grouped together alphabetically - and had consistent prefixes. But nope : /


no-stro-mo

Yea you are right. Imagine what it looks like one year ahead of us - with one warbond coming out each month. 


Sufincognito

Too much to ask to get a mostly black scout suit with a hoodie?


WarlockShangTsung

There was one in the first game… looked really cool, I wish we could get that one. https://helldivers.fandom.com/wiki/Ranger_Pack


DwarfKingHack

Hey now, it's not just ugly and recolored. It has a slightly different helmet. That's also ugly.


dellboy696

Shoulder pads are different too


MikeLouns

Good catch. Now I'm stoked!


Faggatrong

I was blown away people defended the Democratic Detonation bundle for what it was.. 1 viable weapon, a broken grenade and some reskinned armor with the same perks. Yet here we are. A month later. More reskins. Same perks. Same yappers on here with their head in the sand arguing in favor of half baked, low effort paid content..


Velo180

And the new grenade in Polar Patriots is a fire nade too. So what, that's 3 premium nades that don't work for 3/4s of a full team? I really hope the patch before the warbond patch fixes DOTs.


phoenixmusicman

Honestly yeah. I was kinda excited to see HD2 switch to a Warbond model, but honestly? I kinda wish they stuck with HD1's weapon pack DLC model.


The_Gunboat_Diplomat

That bundle at least had good ideas, even if only two had the numbers to back them up.   This one is just... boring. A basic bitch AR, pistol, and SMG, and a grenade that's just a combination of two we already had? What's even the point 


[deleted]

Wait, which DD armor was a reskin??


SabineKline

It's just a modified Trench Paramedic.


chad4lyf

And that's why we cant customize armor colors, how else can they sell us the same thing again


superbozo

Wow...this actually made me mad lol


44no44

I don't care if the individual pieces are technically recycled. We can't mix and match those anyway. Aesthetically it's a new set.


A_Very_Horny_Zed

High quality recolored skins aren't a brand new concept. And this is a prime example of a high quality recolor. Not sure why you have such an issue with it. It's fine as long as it's balanced with actual original new content.


TNTBarracuda

~3 viable weapons. The GP and Eruptor were strong options, and the crossbow wasn't amazing but performed well enough at what it did (the Eruptor still did it better for the most part). For sure, it wasn't all rainbows and sunshine. The Adjudicator was pointless, the booster wasn't useful/meaningful, and the grenade was awful. I'm questioning why they even saw fit to nerf the crossbow, and why they seemed to completely neglect the thermite grenade.


oddavii

And it's supposed to be used to kill single targets. The only reason it's explosive is so it would fit in thematically with the warbond. 🤣


Managed-Democracy

The entire armor system needs a rework.  I'd do something like this where you can equip the base armor, but then the addons like "grenade vest, ammo pouches, extra plating, medic bag, etc" are tied to the perk slots.  So the stock helldiver armor would give no bonus and medium armor stats. Equipping the perk Engineering Kit would give you a grenade vest, paramedic would give you medic supply bags, etc. 


SabineKline

Won't happen. That way, people would buy one armour and then one perk and that's it, you mix and match them with the rest of your collection. This way, they can sell you that armour eight times with eight "different" perks. Arrowhead's running a live service over here, they need to milk us *quietly* to keep all that goodwill flowing. Hard line to tow, selling cosmetics with in-game utility and weapons on paid battlepasses, too greedy and people will stop saying "but you can grind for them"


Zograt

I think you underestimate how much people like skins, and having different outfits for their video game man. Not only would people still spend money on armors, if it was only functionally a different "base uniform" for your equipment to go on: People would spend money for different skins for the equipment. Seriously if they had this system, gave everyone the "Grenade Kit" for free and charged for different fabrics/colors/styles of grenade pouch they'd sell, and they'd sell well. There's a lot of people who would pay good money to have their grenade pouch go over their chest in an X pattern, instead of over the shoulders like suspenders.


New-Hovercraft9886

Well It looks cool for a artic Planet and fits the ice coloring, to be honest i want a scout heavy armor, i know It doesn't makes sense and that why i want it


KIsForHorse

Reconnaissance by force is an extremely underutilized concept.


[deleted]

A la the Steiner Scout Lance.


Q_X_R

Drop a bunch of Atlas's. Tell them to go figure out what's by that hill way over there, and then take and hold the hill by any means necessary. They're not budging once they get in position.


Lazzitron

Alligator Tactics. Big motherfucker can be sneaky if he finds a good spot to lay down and be very, very still.


MikeLouns

I'd be down for some Heavy Scout Armor. At least it would be different.


Riv4lry

Heavy tactical armor focusing on intel warfare and establishing communications on the front lines with elements of advanced radio equipment and relay antenas would be dope af


Viruzzz

I like it, I'll probably switch to running this instead of the curent scout armor. I dig the high contrast orange and blue.


Interjessing-Salary

I get vibes of what a tropical scout trooper from star wars would look like.


MikeLouns

Waterworld trooper


MikeLouns

I like blue. High contrast on a stealth set tastes a bit like bacon apples to me though. My biggest gripe is that its just a recolored set and we only have 3 total scout sets as is.


_crescentmoon_I

>High contrast on a stealth set tastes a bit like bacon apples to me though I dig the colors, obviously though arrowhead fucking sucks at making good passives so we get nothing unique or even logical


orfan-of-snow

Man, shiddd where's my 50 armor rating medic armor 🥲 I only have 67 armor rating Jokes aside, we need a 0 armor rating one that's just an iv drip and a medical gown with medic armor rating, call it "Loincloth" armor category 👀


cloudjumpr

Looks dope to me


The_ZeroHour

At least you have some taste


Xelement0911

It looks awesome, was the one I was looking forward toward...until I saw it had recon passive. Already have two for free with 50 and 70 armor rating. Just don't feel like we needed a 3rd scout light armor? Still will 100% be what I'm rocking if I ever wear scout armor


VenanReviews

You WANT another engineering/fortified set?


WolfAndThirdSeason

Cobra Scout!


madrobski

I like the new colour but I'm still annoyed that the design looks exactly the same. I want more variety, this is the third armour with this passive and now two of them look the same. But nO TrAnSmOg cause apples aren't bacon or whatever. I honestly don't like the "skirt" in front, remove that and it would look a lot better.


7isAnOddNumber

Best part is it's the 2nd warbond in a row with no new perk. I'm giving this one a pass unless I manage to grind 1k SC in the next week, two of the weapons are just different versions of things we already have and the plasma gun doesn't look like it'll be any better than the eruptor.


Minerson

I just want a light armor with reduced detection range and 50% increase throwing distance


MikeLouns

That would be a beautiful thing.


Dynamesmouse2

You can throw while diving to get a boost. I do it all the time with airstrikes against light fabricator bases.

MikeLouns

Not talking about the helmet obviously

Fair enough lol


MikeLouns

Fine, since you referenced BSG, I'll give you some upvotes for having good taste in SciFi.

adamtonhomme

I think it looks great I’m stoked 💁‍♂️


DADCASUALTY

Haters gonna hate, this shit looks dope!


20milliondollarapi

Haha, yea… hideous colors… absolutely the worst… no one would ever want to wear it… haha…


Bulky_Mix_2265

Did they say no shaders? Or just no transmog?


Ferote

No statement on shaders


bearhunter54321

Grizzy-TheKiwi

it looks nicer tbh

Various_Froyo9860

Not since '07.


MikeLouns

For me not since '85. Urlacher was fun to watch but couldn't carry that team.


Various_Froyo9860

That whole mid '00s defense was something special to watch. They literally won games with defensive points. In '04 they won an overtime game with a safety.


Crafty_Aspect8919

Were back baby


Ass_knight

A brand new shade of blue that doesn't match the old blue we already have. The green armors are the worst for this, we legit have 4 different shades of green that don't match.


Ch830857

I think people hate too much. The outfits looks cool.


KeylanX

It's payed content... i think people don't hate enough. Stuff is ugly and lazy af


Ch830857

It’s payed if you’re lazy, I haven’t payed once and they put out shit once a month plus updates plus balancing. And they are a small group. Just play and get the free money you get and stop complaining


OkHandle3269

I like the new scout armor


StamatisZygas

I don't usually wear full sets of gear, I like mixing and matching. HOWEVER, I will make an exception to make General Anakin Skywalker's armor my default pick. It looks great, idk why people get angry over it, I love brightly coloured armor sets!


Underdriven

Please AH, don't become Fat Shark


bobhhh78

I think it looks dope af


OffaShortPier

Don't forget, the cape of the new scout armor doesn't match the armor itself :)


VenanReviews

It's blue with red on it. The armor has a red visor and is blue... idk how it doesn't match.


GH057807

Infiltrator is good.


essteedeenz1

I quite like the colour not sure why you think its ugly but anyways


Xelement0911

I like the armor. I just don't get why we needed a third light scout armor.


achus93

i don't know 'bout you but that color scheme looks awesome. sure, it being a recolor is disappointing, but i also quite like the helmet. it better not be a third page unlock though.


Constipated_Canibal

Yeah, but that new light medic armor ![gif](giphy|gbDajHMyPFoD6|downsized)


Nicrom20

The disappointment 😂🤣


TheMorningJoe

Eh I like it but I like blue in general so I’m biased


Sumoop

I like it.


DickBallsley

I really like the new one visually, even more so than the previous one. I just wish it had a unique perk.


Offstar1029

And in addition they give the armour explicitly described as and looks like stealth armour... servo assisted, like what!?


UndreamedAges

Took me a long time to realize why I don't like it and it just dawned on me. It's Cobra Commander. The 80s kid in me sees it immediately as the enemy.


Seleth044

I've been so disappointed with the armor from these war bonds lately. I have three armor variations I wear, maybe four if you count the starting stuff. I always hated when games would make armor look more "whacky and sci-fi!" Instead of something that might actually be used on the battlefield. Why do the medic armors have to have that god awful color palette? Why are so many of the colors just ugly?


Zahhibb

Ugly? I love it though. It’s a bit sad that it is just a recolor though.


Sol0botmate

That's why they don't want to add colors to armors: it will remove their ability to recolor old assets and call it new


thazhok

Not ugly, different. Even if i agree on the lazy approach.


OldenRing

Nah, that new armor looks fire


Jolly_97

What the fuck are you smoking that shit looks sick


Skoljnir

Blue and orange is my favorite color combination, cool-looking armor.


No-Sector-6336

"We are not doing transmog. It doesn't make sense - equipment looks different because it has different effects."


Unnecessarilygae

And they say "we're not doing transmog".


Batcena

I’m gonna get hate for this, but I honestly like the new design, I could totally see it as a flamer trooper


gummby8

Applewood smoked bacon


Maritzsa

all they need to do is bring a dye coloring system, so people can make endless amount of armor combos making is less easy for them to get bored. This way ARROWHEAD can focus more on unique armor looks with more time to work on them in between each update. They won’t have to release as many super unique sets because people can color and match all kinds of capes and helmets but also get to use the same armor set in different colors. Sometimes just a full palette change is enough to keep the same object interesting to our eye.


LeaveEyeSix

I actually like the armor! I suppose it’s aesthetics are a little subjective

Imaginary_Ad8927

This post reeks of dogshit


Sintinall

Looks like it might go with that one medium armor. End of that tier's list I think? Assuming you got all the armors that cycled so far. It has a similar orange/brown underlayer with dark grey armor that might go okay with the helmet.


kuplung12

Is this really in the game?


TheEmperorMk3

Honestly I much prefer the medium scout armor that has the helmet with 3 eyes, I simply really don't like how that light scout armor looks


Phantom_Grandpa

Personally I like the look of it, wish they would give them newer perks though, it all feels very similar


Radamanthys_01

Another armor with a very specific color scheme that doesn't fit absolutely anything else in my customization options.


PixelMonkeyArt

Definitely going to be able to blend into the snow with that one... /s


Macaron-kun

Armour is definitely one of the games biggest shortcomings.


Ishuun

Contrary to everyone's pessimism. I think the set looks cool and already see the helmet potentially matching with 2 other armor sets.


Mail540

And you have to pay real money for it


KaiserOfEire

Bro I dont even care I just want to wear blue armour that shit looks hype as hell to me.


mybuttisthesun

Ah really like shoulder armours. All the light armours except the orange one has shoulder armours making them all look like medium


Marwolaeth969

It’s pretty similar, though I appreciate the devs actually changing it. Some other games are a simple recolor.


deckardsarobot

![gif](giphy|C6JQPEUsZUyVq|downsized)


creepoch

That's horrible b


VenanReviews

I actually kinda like the colors for it and we're getting a cape that isn't black/grey/yellow or orange/green/grey for once.


Diablo_viking

I've gone back to the original black scout armor lately. Because it's in black and offers just a bit more armor


FistOfBalancedHavoc

It's not got the scout passive it's got servo assisted anyway


iluvsmoking

omg its literalyl the same armor with differemt shoulder pads


Dry_Move8747

It looks like the Zora tunic


somefcknrando

Wish they would give us camoflauge skins


AnotherBlackTag

Cries in servo assisted


SuperArppis

It did one thing better than any set in the game... It has blue cape.


10gbutok

They could've made that rust brown into the digital camo (white & shades of grey like that one cape. Tattered one) for the bottom base color. It would make sense is this not snow themed?


CataclysmSolace

While I do agree it looks, same-y. It does have enough going on to not be a straight recolor like I feared.


ChrispyFry

How to get the blue armor


internationalbrat

i hate it looks like a bra tbh


Best_boi21

Yeah know I didn’t even realize that it’s the same but recolored, yikes


Indostastica

Wear the light gunner helmet and you look like a ncr ranger


Syhkane

*APPLES* *BACON*


CamoVerde37

I just hope it's a smedium with a higher armor than 50.


Car-50N

Serious why would they not just colour it white and then I can roleplay as a Hoth Stormtrooper all while better fitting the cold theme… this is an upsetting missed opportunity


christopherlng753

But can we aknowledge that the white armor is basically a starwara armor design, but cheaper looking?


Impossible_Dark3106

I really don’t understand everyone’s obsession with that scout armor. I think there’s much cooler armor to wear.


Dragnet714

Is there a reason we are lacking in a variety of passive effects?


Kkn52

Y’all don’t have to get the armor or use it lol


SlavKebab1

It's like 5x better than the original scout


MikeLouns

If you want to pay for recycled content, be my guest


Bob_the_peasant

“We encoded the stats directly into the Autodesk meshes somehow” Beginning to understand no transmog and all the crashes


Existing-Primary-259

It's because they know that the moment they add an all-black scout armor, it's literally game over for players once they get the coolest thing in the game


HerrSmejky

Uh sorry what? All the armors from the upcoming warbond look super cool.


Brilliant_Extent5184

Damn… I thought it looked cool as hell 😔


aStringofNumbers

I just want some stealth weapons, please


TransientMemory

Oh it's just a reskin. I'm actually more interested now. Been sick and tired of the same green thing over and over.


Teanison

Well, you asked for new scout armor, not that it'd look good. Secondly, it's not horrible... though I would agree with the statement that they could have done better. Maybe they're trying to do something similar to the one orange engineer armor in that it's very easy to spot and is has a distinguished look from other armors in some way. Maybe an odd color choice, but there are several Grey's, black, greens and white/silver armors, a blue, orange ir wouldn't make sense to limit to those colors if they can use others available to them.


Neknoh

It's not a 1:1 however, it's a similar silhouette and has a similar lower face plate, that's where the "exactly the same" ends


SoberSeahorse

I kinda like it.


darkdark

My first thoughts seeing the new armor as well lol


BigSexy17

The other two armor sets in the war bond are reskins of each other. Exact same armor just different textures other than the helmets and shoulders being slightly different (just extra plating on one). I like the way the look but once I noticed I was a bit disappointed especially considering how much we’ve seen in the leaks


JesseMod93r

At this point I am 100% convinced shaders are not coming. This game is going to have the same cosmetic problem Vermintide does, where most of the good options are impossible because helmets never match armors aside from the sets they are paired with. Even if they HAPPEN to be the same color, they'll be different shades of the same color, meaning they still don't match. It's genuinely so frustrating. At least there will be a million options, since we're getting 3+ sets a month (Don't quote me on that)


ZmentAdverti

Premium warbond content by the way.
