Helldivers 2 Teases Future Potential Customization Feature

Arrowhead Game Studios CEO, Johan Pilestedt, confirms that the studio is looking into potentially adding a color change customization feature for the various armor sets available in Helldivers 2. It's been a series of high and lows for the development team at Arrowhead Game Studios, as Helldivers 2 became an absolutely massive hit with both critics and fans after the game's launch.

In response to the question, Pilestedt simply indicated that adding a color customization option to armor and capes was being discussed internally. There's no indication that this will definitely make the cut, but the studio is at least aware of how highly requested a feature like this is, as other comments indicated that some users would
