Page 1 is basically destiny


PP1122

Page 4 is halo infinite


emeraldeyesshine

Page 4 reminded me that game exists and now I'm sad again


Jdmaki1996

The monetization wasn’t great but the gameplay was some of the best halos been


Corronchilejano

I liked the campaign, I just wish there was more of it, and more variety. It felt like the basis for a better game.


BuffyNugs

I was disappointed by the campaign, it didn’t feel or look like any other halo, in a bad way.


Aki_2004

Only thing I like are his cape concepts. I don’t want helldivers turning into Halo Infinite. All those really distinct styles that take away from the og spartan designs


Zackyboi1231

The armor designs in destiny 2 feels like the art designers were on an acid trip whilst making the concept art and I fucking love it.


Mr-dooce

GOD PLEASE NO


Circassian0101

I get where you coming from but if one thing Destiny has – it’s a marvelous art design. And music. Two things actually.


Acrobatic_Pumpkin967

It does not feel like it fits the helldivers tone at all


MushroomCaviar

It doesn't and I think AH has a clear enough vision of their thematic tone that we won't ever have such an abomination as a chicken head helm or John Wick skin in game.


Future-Call8541

Speak for yourself, I want a chicken head and fat diver.


MushroomCaviar

Just go play fortnight man


Circassian0101

Fair point


FlorianoAguirre

Then let Destiny keep it.


chamomileriver

Never played destiny but I see the armour all the time on socials. Think that game has the best cosmetic options I’ve seen.


YimveeSpissssfid

The shooting mechanics of Destiny are classic Bungie. Their games are almost always highly satisfying shooters. The powers are “space magic” and really have been turned up to 11 in recent expansion. I haven’t played in a long time (so not sure which barriers to entry there are these days), but I’m pretty sure you can grab the original for free, and maybe even d2’s base game to see if it tickles your fancy without the full investment of all the expansions.* \*it’s been a VERY long time since I’ve played although my son still does - but just figured I’d contribute on the off chance you wanted to give it a spin. I hear it’s really fun these days!


chamomileriver

Appreciate you taking the time to share. Personally I just love the cosmetics but I don’t think the gameplay is really my taste. But considering it’s free to play I may give it a shot when I have downtime between other titles.


Der_Moriarty

It's not really free to play, more like free to try. The non paywalled side of the game is really limited


o8Stu

Other person is correct, it's more like "free to try", but the F2P offerings are enough to give you an idea of what you're getting into. You can do all of the repeatable matchmade activities, 3 different raids (6 man activities), and a couple of dungeons (3 man activities). Basically a sampling of intro gameplay through endgame. If you enjoy it and want more, you'll have to open your wallet, but I believe they've made a pretty good bundle of the older DLCs to get you going.


TheRealBlerb

Thought I was in r/DestinyFashion


zipitnick

I’d say it’s more of a Destiny mixed with Warhammer style, in the upper row at least. The bottom is more Dune


LignumofVitae

First row, second from the right is straight up just a Titan with Loreley


Zestyclose_Way_2276

or fortnite


WolfAndThirdSeason

Tyrannical Spartans!? How about a managed democratic "Hoplite" instead.


gpetrakas

This man knows history 🤘


granpappynurgle

I would absolutely pay real money for a horse hair crest on my helmet.


Ok_Jellyfish_1696

Hopefully they don’t turn this game into Fortnite, restraint will be key for the dev team


Grimnimbus

Based on what we've heard from the devs, I'm *very* cautiously optimistic that HD2 won't turn that way.


Chironmafia

was just about to say that, I kinda like the soft but unique approach they have to the designs


Echo418

This was concept from early development, the quote from the artist for this image reads: >"I was assigned to explore armor customization content as a feature. "Go crazy. Even Crazier!" At chicken... "Perfect!" I think it was pitched to higher ups to see where we should draw the line and what we could do thematically."


Basement_Troglodyte

Yeah to be honest I really don't like any of these, and I'm glad the game itself has a more down-to-super-earth feel rather than these borderline fantasy cosplays Cool to see early concepts of what could have been tho


perseeval

As a fan of red rising, I would love the wolf cloak armor when we fight on those planets - darrowsport and the vale.


BoogieWithBears

After seeing that armor I was scrolling down hoping to find a Howler. Hail Reaper!


darthbaum

Hail Libertas!


MyHeroKevin

Hail Reaper! I came to say the same thing!


Bobby_The_Kidd

Same! Hail Reaper! Break the chains!


darkCrescent13

Love to see some fellow Howlers

REEEAAPERRRR


nbarr50cal22

The silver armor looks a lot like that one heavy set in game with a similar color scheme. Turban armor goes hard. Most of the others don’t fit. The one with the big hat is straight up a bounty hunter character from The Clone Wars


S4R1N

Page 4, right hand side. I'd pay real money for this. Page 1 though....what the actual crap, absolutely not.


Suicidalbagel27

the bottom middle outfit on page 1 is hard as fuck, it would look amazing on desert planets


S4R1N

Yeah actually, that one could actually work. Quality desert drip.


Hitori_Suzushii

>Page 4 Just go and throw money at Microsoft, this is AI generated armor you could get in Halo Infinite. https://preview.redd.it/bl8j4rdo64ad1.png?width=1021&format=png&auto=webp&s=74b80085ca8068e08e2c64f431febb0b14e128ec


Zman6258

Page 4, right hand side. AKA, the farthest-right image on the 4th page. The one that ISN'T the samurai, but is the big open faceplate with the tube on the chest. Jesus, can people not read?


SolidPrysm

AI generated is right. It's like someone just typed in "space samurai" and called it a day. No memorable features at all


NilEntity

Most of 1st page: please no. I like that the game has a somewhat consistent, somewhat "realistic" look. More armor: yes, please, but keep it consistent with the "fantasy", i.e., soldiers fighting a war. Fucking chicken man or blue discus man running around ruins the "immersion". Just saw this post is tagged "Lore". Stuff like this goes precisely against lore.


Sweet_Manager_4210

They look cool and are well drawn but, with all respect to the artist, nothing about them makes me think of helldivers. They are more like generic sci-fi armour (and a chicken). I think they could be good inspirations to design helldivers armour from but they wouldn't really fit in game as is. Stuff like the chicken could be funny for one off events or as a rare easter egg but really shouldn't be a permanent thing. The entire atmosphere and feel of the game is because everything is so hyper serious whilst being very self aware. The designs in the other images would mostly fit perfectly in game though I personally don't think anything can beat the default armour sets.


p_visual

Yeah everyone being a chicken and randomly traitor barraged on April Fools could be hilarious, but it's entirely inconsistent with the theme of the game.


MillstoneArt

They're early concepts where the artist is told to come up with as much stuff as possible. Doesn't matter what it is. That's what we're seeing here. So an art director might say "hey let's leave the chicken head out, but the torso on that other one is worth keeping around." That's the purpose of production art.


ONE_RAMM

The artist added a comment under his work on artstation for the 1st page : I was assigned to explore armor customization content as a feature. "Go crazy. Even Crazier!" At chicken... "Perfect!" I think it was pitched to higher ups to see where we should draw the line and what we could do thematically.


YimveeSpissssfid

A lot of pre-production art is exactly that: “what if…” and then the artist goes crazy. In the original Destiny art there were highly exotic races planned. That got scaled back to the exo/awoken/human paradigm (essentially all humanoid). Concept art sometimes informs the final aesthetic, but is often indicative of roads not taken.


NPRdude

The only one of the first page I’d be down for is the Dune-esque one in the middle of the bottom row.


Larmalon

Apart from the chicken head, they all look somewhat realistic for a future setting. I love the chicken head one though that would be hilarious.


Mr-GooGoo

I do like the Roman centurion style helmet plume


Jirdan

Tbh I feel like I'd kill for the fremen-like uniform in bottom middle of the first picture.


AidilAfham42

And the Imperial Sadaukar one on the 4th pic


Jirdan

Any long coat armor is a huge plus for me.


PanzerTitus

I would kill for a Roman themed armor set.


jonasowtm8

Dude, same. I think the possibility of a Roman themed warbond is real. I’d pay immediately. Fuck grinding. I need a plume on my Helldiver armour.


jeffspainuscupcake

while not 100% rome, the armor offered via the super citizen's DLC may offer you that sort of look if you so want it.


PanzerTitus

Exactly! That drip, the red sash, the fucking plume….perfection


ezyhobbit420

GreenLabowski

TheRyderShotgun

Uuuooooooh the original black and yellow color scheme


PatienceDiligent4803

As much as new armor like that would be, I would prefer more if they kept them to a similar design style to what we have now. Because really we are all just cogs in the machine of democracy, so why give us personality when we are gonna die 2 seconds later? You think Super Earth cares enough about you to make over-the-top armor for you- ( REDACTED-TREASONSUSPECTED-)

Ricochu__

i can already see a sword with this in a new warbond 😭


WhosThatDogMrPB

The last armor ain’t cluckin’ around no more,


apurplehighlighter

i wish they would add armor that is locked behind player level, just to give us an incentive to keep playing after level 40


sticklight414

I think most strats are already opened too early, making progression way too fast and unlocking guns solely through warbonds and medals is a bit counterintuitive. Would've been nice to have a set of primaries and secondaries opened with level progression and credits. I don't want to spend 1000 supercredits for a whole warbond just because i want 1 new gun out of the entire thing. At the very least there should be a weapon upgrade system like there were in helldivers1. 


Wboy2006

I’m not a fan of the chicken suit in the first page. It looks like it’s trying to hard to be Fortnite. I like Fortnite, but it doesn’t work with the realistic setting of the game.


GuyNekologist

AH, give me the Spartan, Centurion, and Wolf Guard armor and my life is yours! 😤


Robadoba

I NEED the fremen armor on page 1


Deruh7

Page 4 is awesome, I would pay to have them Page 1 gives me a legion vibe, kinda like warhammer each legion has his own gimmick in fashion, but most of them I don't think fit the helldivers vibe and ideia


Sheriff_Is_A_Nearer

These are all amazing, but the day a chicken head appears in this game is the day i stop playing. Unless it's once for an April Fools joke.


Mr-GooGoo

I really like these especially the Roman centurion armor


CountryGuy123

Shut up and take my money for Chicken Man.


asecuredlife

where when how why who when huh was this posted


ScientistOk138

Page 7 is how most armors should be


MorenaLedovec

i just want a super poncho man :(


HashtagRenzo

I feel like this whole game is in the concepting phase. All of the coolest shit I've seen isn't in the game and usually on posts like this.


Significant-Turn-836

I nutted looking at the samurai armor


AidilAfham42

I need that Sadaukar armor


C0l0n3l_Panic

Pleeeease AH make these


BurningFire314

I don't get the hate for page 1, aside from the chicken head which clearly was a joke and reference to MGS5 Wait, can we call it the Hendiver suit?


BlackCloud140

i want their artbook


Allaroundlost

Ok. When ?!


The_FoxIsRed

Fuck those all look sick. Does anyone know where one could find more of this concept art?


Sigma-Bonds

This guy should get hired


Taolan13

POULTRY MAN!


IndexoTheFirst

The Samurai and Roman armor FUCKS


turnipslop

I love this hoplite, roman, samurai and desert raider looks, they all look good and subtle enough that they fit with what we already have (bear in mind we already have a winged hussar helmet from the Super Citizen DLC) 


smashpp0w

I have a might need for a commando variant that looks battle damaged


smegmathor

Just need more swords so I can play warframe or destiny.


HBiceberger

YES YES AND YES, we need more historical armours, I absolutely adore page 5 with the hoplite/legionnaire inspired outfit, I'm a light armour diehard but I'd wear the hell out of that page 5 heavy armour, I love me a plume!


MakubeC

That Spartan looks pretty sexy


PM_ME_YUYUKO_PICS

Helldiver-ified ancient-styled armor goes insanely damn hard


SpareTireButSquare

You need to be hired, atleast for those cape designs. Almost every cape and background is absolutely boring and I like almost none of them


MillstoneArt

This is official art lol.


Miraak-Cultist

I too would like a rim as a hat.


Sanches319

Page 1 - Destiny. Page 4 - Halo Infinite.


4apples2

Oh man I want the Centurian one !! :<3


CrimsonAllah

Page 6: armors that go hard


InternationalAd1634

These are awesome


pats_view

Page 3: I love the veteran cape


Only-Effect33

Page 5 and 6 look really cool, but concept wise both are really pushing the line of being a Helldiver or something you'd see from destiny


Hot-Ad4955

I like the 2nd and 3rd armor on the page 4, I like that the gladiator looking armor is not as goofy as some of the armors on page 1. They're pretty cool, but I think they don't look like they're from helldivers 2 lore for example


DCxKCCO

Please give me the murder chicken!!!


the_fucker_shockwave

I'll be honest, I think the butcher one on the first page would be a good Halloween cosmetic, maybe it increases health and gives better melee? I don't know, that's just me though.


ApexAzimuth

These are cool but I’m glad that Helldivers outfits are more subdued and in-character for the game.


undreamedgore

I like the capes.


NPFuturist

These are badass! Well done! Would love to see samurai themed, gladiator themed, medieval themed, spartan themed, etc. but I hope we don’t start getting chicken heads or silly outfits. Immersion breaking IMO.


Gn0meKr

Arrowhead: We don't want to collab or add skins that do not fit the tone of the game Also Arrowhead: (I know these concepts are from the time when Helldivers were not finished and still in developement, so their mindset probably changed since then, but I still find that funny)


Vaylin_

I need a samurai themed armor set immediately 😭


Jackthwolf

I'd murder for that wolfguard armour i would literally use nothing else


Jd42042

I could definitely see like the Japanese branch of helldiver's having samurai inspired armor Also that 4th set on image one is like straight out of destiny


DubsBunnyy

Wolf guard goes crazy


TheguyKegan

Not a big fan of half of those, some of the armors being so wildly out of whack from the normal design of Helldivers uniforms is really off. Especially that fish net guy and chicken head. Joke armors are only funny for a week, after that they just become an annoyance to see be worn by people that haven’t seen it 50 times already.


Shaikh_9

I just want colour variants of the original Helldiver skins. Maybe just a toggle only for those base skins and capes. The other skins would have a set colour.


Xfishbobx

Democratic chicken


Zombiehunter78880

god i need wolf guard


ArimakoInfernua

I think I’d lose my mind if we got that Centurion one on the first page or the 5th and 6th pages. I understand they can’t take it too crazy out there. But I feel like that stuff fits perfectly with the vibe of the game. It’s taking ancient armor and turning it back into propaganda for Super Earths Finest. It fits imo.


Dangerous_Trifle620

Really amazing art, but I don't see how a lot of these will fit into the game aesthetically.


LongAndShortOfIt888

I really would be okay with all page 1 except chickenman. Some decorative additions would be very welcome, the Democracy Protects armour is the only category that gets much decoration


Gui_Pauli

I would pay for the samurai one


Beat_My_Yeet_Meat

My helldiver would quickly become a space wolf if they added that wolf guard helm


yeetusae

🔥🔥🔥


green_teef

The chicken one doesn’t really work because the sex of the characters is supposed to be kind ambiguous. I like the hat tho


thearks

I would love a roman or WW1 themed warbond


BanjoBushi

Is anyone going to talk about the automaton with a human brain? https://preview.redd.it/612yrs8bt4ad1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3dc63fecd1deb8cbfe3febd21e7cb946cee80f01

AUTOMATON ARMOR?!?


NotSoSubtle1247

Now I want a viking helmet with those anachronistic horns...


layloe7

Spartans sick man


thekurgan2000

The Roman centurion-inspired armours are pretty sick ngl


TheSovietTurtle

Page 1 bottom right looking at me like he's about to ask if I like hurting other people.


goldfalsebond

Hell nah to the chicken, this ain't fortnight


Specific_Foot372

Spartan type one goes hard.


Sadiholic

Hot take but honestly I wouldn't mind even the chicken armor. I get people want "realism" but tbh at some point it gets boring af. There's only so much "militaristic" armor before dwelling in the goofy side. Maybe not the chickent armor cause it doesn't make any sense with the bare chest but maybe something cooler like the samurai hat one. To me goofy shit is like adding fur bears in the game or adding another stylistic set in the game, to me that makes no sense whatsoever.


submit_to_pewdiepie

Very HD1 with page 4


Bossitronium1

Thought it was destiny 2


Illustrious-Dig2345

If they add that Centurion armor in the game, I will die. I would swear my life and love to Helldivers.

Andreah2o

Orbital blast cape is looking great


Suicidalbagel27

Most of page 1 is horrible in terms of fitting the lore, but the Lisan Al-Gaib and the golden armor sets would make sense and are tough as fuck

BizzleZX10R

I like most of these. Please no stupid shit like the chicken head. This isn’t call of duty. I would like to see some armor that has scavenged bot parts. Like a helmet with the glowing eyes.


TNTBOY479

I like the capes but that's about it


MJMvideosYT

Holy hell we need a Roman armor


Non-LinearDM

I like page 6 looks like reach loading screens


Beginning_Rip_4570

Personally: i hate these Philosophically: more options is always, always better. And I don’t have to equip something if i don’t like it.


curtydc

I'm surprised we haven't gotten any bug corpse and automaton junk armor. This seems like something Helldivers would be doing, adorning themselves with their slain enemies.


T800_Version_2-4

Aw hell naw dud get yo samurai shit out of ma funkin game


SnazzyEnglishman

Everyone hating on page 1 but apart from blue disc man, fat man with the apron, and the chicken I think they look really good.


Kitchen-Reply9507

Orbital blast cape goes hard


siege-eh-b

Hate the first page but the rest slaps. Helldivers aren’t supposed to be unique destiny characters. They’re cannon fodder you equip and literally shoot a planet with.


C137-Morty

I want to wear a stalkers head upon my helmet


zGreenranger

Raeldri

I hope they shoot out of orbit the one that created the chicken one, it's funny but has no place in Helldivers
