We suspect we were the ones wondering if some sort of transformation system might be available for fashion-conscious Helldivers 2 players, but unfortunately it won’t be. Arrowhead CEO Johan Bilstedt firmly dismissed that dream, insisting: “We’re not proselytizing.”
Transmog, sometimes also known as transmogrification, is a mechanic used in some games that allows players to statistically benefit from a certain set of equipment or tools while providing the visual/aesthetic appeal of another set. Diablo IV and Final Fantasy XIV both have powerful transportation systems.
Pilestedt replied to a user Twitter They said they wouldn’t implement something similar in Helldivers 2 because it “makes no sense.
We’re not sure we can agree with this analogy or even understand it, but there’s definitely room to play around with how tools work in the current framework. What about the ability to exchange benefits for specific, limited options? There is definitely still room for strategy.
