Summary

  • Fans of Helldivers 2 want the mannequin in the Super Destroyer to be customizable.
  • While much of the game's hub area can be customized, players feel like Arrowhead Studios missed adding this fun way to let players show off their favorite armor set.
  • Helldivers 2 remains PlayStation's fastest-selling game of all time, selling 12 million copies in its first 12 weeks.

Some Helldivers 2 fans think developer Arrowhead Studios is missing out on a fun way to add more customization to the game, with a recent post to the game's online community sparking discussion. There are plenty of ways players can customize their Helldivers 2 experience, though some fans think there's a glaringly obvious omission in the game's main hub, with many asking for the option to change the mannequin found in the Super Destroyer.

Helldivers 2 became one of the best-selling games on platforms like Steam and the PlayStation Store following its release earlier this year, with Arrowhead continuing to support the game with multiple updates and major overhauls. Since its release, Helldivers 2 has seen the arrival of mechs, as well as new areas to explore and conquer, with the thrill of fighting both Automatons and Terminids proving to be incredibly addictive for leagues of players. However, Helldivers 2 also offers a lot in the way of customization, though some fans feel like Arrowhead has missed a key opportunity.

Reddit user DemiDeviantVT thinks the mannequin in the game's hub area should be customizable, begging Arrowhead to add this feature in a future update. The mannequin is found in the Super Destroyer, which acts as the central hub area for Helldivers 2. Players load and launch missions from their Super Destroyer, which itself can be customized in a variety of ways. However, the mannequin features a static set of armor despite seemingly being a perfect place to display players' recent unlocks or favorite armor sets.

The core of Helldivers 2 is its gameplay, which tasks players with eliminating swarms of both robotic, Terminator-esque opponents called Automatons and large insects dubbed Terminids. The game gives fans plenty of ways to make their game their own, with personal expression being marketed as a core feature of the overall experience. Helldivers 2 players can earn armor pieces by leveling up their Warbond, with new items released at certain intervals.

Helldivers 2 Warbonds are available in both paid and premium versions, offering players additional content in a tiered system similar to battle passes from other live-service games. New Warbonds are issued on the second Thursday of every month. Along with fresh pieces of armor, Helldivers 2's Warbonds also feature new items such as weapons and Stratagems. Players can also unlock new items through Helldivers 2's major order system, which tasks players with completing a specific challenge in a certain amount of time.

The Galaxy’s Last Line of Offence. Enlist in the Helldivers and join the fight for freedom across a hostile galaxy in a fast, frantic, and ferocious third-person shooter.

URGENT BROADCAST – SUPER EARTH ARMED FORCES
Freedom. Peace. Democracy. Your Super Earth-born rights. The key pillars of our civilization. Of our very existence. But the war rages on. And everything is once again under threat.

Join the greatest military force the galaxy has ever seen and make this a safe and free place to live.

BECOME A LEGEND
You will be assembled into squads of up to four Helldivers and assigned strategic missions. Watch each other’s back – friendly fire is an unfortunate certainty of war, but victory without teamwork is impossible.

LOADOUTS
Rain down freedom from above, sneak through enemy territory, or grit your teeth and charge head-first into the jaws of combat. How you deliver liberty is your choice; you’ll have access to a wide array of explosive firepower, life-saving armor and battle-changing stratagems… the jewel in every Helldiver’s arsenal.

REQUISITION
Super Earth recognises your hard work with valuable Requisition. Use it to access different rewards that benefit you, your squad, your destroyer ship and our overall war effort.

THREATS
Everything on every planet wants you dead. That’s what we’re dealing with. Each enemy has distinct and unpredictable characteristics, tactics, and behavior – but they all fight ferociously and without fear or morality.

THE GALACTIC WAR
Capturing enemy planets, defending against invasions, and completing missions will contribute to our overall effort. This war will be won or lost depending on the actions of everyone involved.

We stand together, or we fall apart.
