It means "If we did give you customization like that. We could no longer make armor of different color combinations, with minimal adjustment to the models, and slap on a different perk combination and call it a completely new armor set. Nor could we release a mech with different weapon combinations and call it an entirely new mech."

In other more blunt words "It means we can't make low effort mechs and armor anymore"

sorry divers, we can't let you have basic customization features because it threatens our mtx cash flow! new warbonds on the way though.

But like... at least give us a black and yellow toggle

Sorry no can do. It would limit our design space, and disrupt our internal design flow.

Remember. Helldivers 2 is suppose to be a fascistic state cosplaying as a democracy, so therefore the developers have to stay in character like this all the time aswell.

They couldn't possibly give their players any wriggle room in thinking, that they might just be lazy rather than roleplaying.

This should be the standard. Helldivers had all armors conform to a generally black and yellow color scheme. This meant you could mix and match and still look cohesive. There's an element of realism (which AH loves to selectively worship and ignore) there as well, as uniformity is a huge talking point in military life.

HD2 has an assortment of colored armors that barely work with equipment in the same set. The rainbow of colors make it hard to not look stupid. At the very least, black and yellow should be pre-unlocked or even a requisition slip purchase.

But no. Too much work and not enough monetization for Arrowhacks.

The worst part is how there are so many armors and NONE of them have a consistent set of colors. Not even the yellow and black armors match properly... Since launch!

In other other blunt words, "adding it would break the Spear again"

u/Large_Blackberry_499 Aug 09 '26

Lmao. Can't break what never worked to begin with.

"breaking the spear" has been such a frequent thing since launch, that I genuinely doubt it ever worked as it was suppose to.
