The goggle-like visor of the Neoteric Kiyot Mask helm matched the Helldiver helmet, while the Phenotype Plasticity Cloak did away with the Hunter's typical hood, making the cloak look like a simple cape.

Meanwhile, the Vakarian Grips and Vakarian Strides from the Destiny 2 Mass Effect crossover cosmetics mimicked the shoulder pads and leg armor worn by Helldivers, with the
