In a surprising revelation, Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt has confirmed that there will be no transmog system in the upcoming Helldivers 2 game. Transmogrification, a mechanic commonly used in other games, allows players to maintain the statistical benefits of one set of gear while visually appearing in another. Pilestedt explained on Twitter that such a feature “doesn’t make sense” in Helldivers 2, using a quirky analogy to highlight the difference in equipment effects.
While the absence of a transmog system in Helldivers 2 may disappoint some players, there is speculation about potential alternatives to enhance gear customization. Ideas like swapping out perks for specific, limited alternatives have been suggested as a way to provide players with more flexibility in their equipment choices. Despite the CEO’s firm stance on the matter, there seems to be room for innovation within the existing framework of the game.
As the community discusses the implications of this decision, the debate continues on whether transmog truly has no place in Helldivers 2. Players are encouraged to share their opinions and thoughts on the matter in the comments section, sparking a conversation about the importance of gear customization in the gaming experience.
