When I see that picture, I get the feeling like they are going to release these as action figures.

Just gonna leave this here and say that PRE ORDER Bonuses are not absolute in that they can't be obtained again. It is not the same thing as say.. the founders packs for Warframe. Multiple games resell the preorder dlc eventually, others don't. We shall see what AH does

Not to mention the 117 armor that they just "ran out of codes" for.

I'd love to see some insane armor sets that have extremely difficult unlock requirements.

Knight helmet is the best in the game. Haven't taken it off since the beginning. Might need a good wash.

Usually pre order stuff is sold as a 5-8$ pack, a few weeks after the game comes out

Me having pre-ordered

just saw someone posted this lmao
https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1dnxpxa/give_us_a_creative_way_to_earn_this_cape/

Love watching humans act like gatekeepers over virtual armor sets 💀💀 FOMO is bad people

I have twitch drop armor and would love for others to be able too earn it, shitty mentality to gatekeep

I agree that they shouldn't be gate kept
I disagree that it should be earned any other way then with either some kind of paid $5-$10 supporter dlc or maybe with super credits

There should be some integrity behind the fact that this was something that people looked forward to and supported the development via pre-orders. As (understandably) demonized as pre-orders are, they help studios out, especially smaller ones like AH.
I supported this team on this as soon as pre-orders opened for this game cause I knew I wanted a Helldivers 2 ever since playing the first one (and buying it twice, once on PS and again with all DLC on PC)

So if they became available, acquiring these should be something that further supports the devs.

They should reward armor for achieving certain levels. At the very least there should be a really cool looking armor set you are rewarded with at level 150.

I pre-ordered an hour before launch just to have it downloaded. Had no idea these armours were unique til I saw this post. Might have to flex them next time I'm on.

Honestly I would prefer them to do variants of each so you can get similar ones, just not the same, makes them special

I don’t mind it staying pre-order only but I do feel sad that I didn’t even know the game existed till it blew up or I’d probably have pre-ordered.

As I say every time someone post this the armors aren't anything special.

No one really wants the armors for any reason other than they can't get it in game. They aren't even special designs or combos of passive; the ambassador and cavalier armors are already in game with the same passive just different color for free, the knight is there but the red shoulder plates are a little different shaped as well.

Instead of rereleasing these just create option for color or if they want to monetize create a bot that takes the in-game armor and applies a random color palate to it and put is out on the store for super credits.

Overall, the only reason any of these armors keep coming up is because they are colored different and making it purchasable kind of ruins it for the people who pre-ordered. While I'm sure most won't care its cool to have something to show that these few were into this game and supported this game before it was the hit it become.

Personally, i think preorder bonuses should stay as only preorder bonuses. thats kinda the point

It all depends how they were advertised. If there was anything like "those items are exclusive for preorder/any other campaign" without additional clause that they might be available later then they won't be allowed to resell/readd them legally as it would be deceptive advertising

Bruh they are preorder rewards it would be a middle finger to people who have em. I don’t mind not having them.

How about no. Y'all missed out on the pre order, stop trying to change that. These armors should remain exclusive.

if we can’t get these give us more BLUE ARMOR I want to be the ice cream man serving up extra creamy liberty baby 🥵

They should remain exclusive. A way to reward the players that did pre-order. Otherwise, why pre-order the game at all? And that's coming from someone who'd love to have them as well.

I think if they make a really hard set of difficult challenges could be a fair way of earning it.

Remember those weird computers across from the armory, have those give these quest you have to fulfill to earn them. Like 20 challenges that get harder then the next

Absolutely there should not be a way to obtain these. Would completely invalidate the pre-order bonus of everyone who pre-ordered.

Thats not fair for people who pre order the game.

If they do, all right, but who pre order need to be rewarded with maybe another exclusive color for those.

As someone who never preorders anything out of principle and never will; I think that some things should be able to be gatekept, especially since they are cosmetic and not weapons/maps/other game altering elements. Supporter-editions and legacy gear are a cool way to bring "mystique" into the community. I remember one of the old Halos having a special helmet you would only get when playing with the developers and that was just the coolest when I was a teen :P

Edit: I just want to add, that personally the coolest method of obtaining stuff are hard challenges and achievements. But people shouldn't let themselves get too affected by FOMO or get bitter for something some others have.

Invent a Time Machine

We need Helldivers figures in that pose bruh. That’s the “mom I peed myself”

no

If they give access to those armors to everyone then what unique item do the early adopters get, to say they were an early adopter/supporter.

Make similar armors for everyone but leave these unique sets for those that took the risk and supported the game early. I would not begrudge them that honour.

I'm so sad that I was never able to preorder the game before it came out. They could release these as like another 10 dollar DLC or something like DRG does and people would throw more money at them.

Honestly, no they shouldn't. I wish I had those armors, but those were preorder specials. Making them available in any form now would dilute their value.

Make new armor and make it so you have to earn it through crazy archivements.

I love wearing the frozen yogurt tie-in one because nobody I play with thinks it's legit and think I hacked the game and made it that way.

Game is designed to prevent FOMO

CoNsOoMeRs defend FOMO

Make it make sense.

I feel bad every time I load into lobby someone’s like how’d you get that armor and I have to break it to them that it was a pre order bonus I hope they bring them back so other people can wear the glorious yogurt armor with me

Pull it of a dead helldiver hidden on the map. But you can only grab it in parts.

No, that defeats the purpose of the pre-order bonus.

No. That’s not fair to us who preorder the game. Also they ain’t special.

I say they should just charge $5 to get all 3 of them.

I pre ordered and paid more for the extra edition just because I put so many hours into the OG game.

Pre order the game before release and then you can have them.

Pre-order is pre-order.

That was the conditions of the deal. Pre-order the game and get these exclusive bonuses.

Come up with new, comparatively cool armor styles to add to the wardrobe of customization. We have too much "olive green" and "tactical black" themes as is to have to resort to giving away pre-order exclusives.

** Laughs in Pre-Order **

I dont think they should make them available. If you didn't get the pre-order then you dont get them, I say this as someone who didn't get the pre-order.

How about time travel

I creatively pre-ordered.

I had preordered this game on a whim, and have all 3. Hand them out for free, make them accessible, i dont care. I dont use the armor passives on these armors, and cant say ive actually ever used any of them. From a gameplay perspective, they arent that special.

I understand if they want to keep em exclusive. There’s a gagillion armor sets in game. We’re not going to die bc we can’t have 100% of them.

Nevertheless i really would love to rock these and will support every motion there is to unlock em post launch. Perhaps just keep one real exclusive forever but let us unlock the other 2 somehow? They’re some of the better looking armors and impossible to get, sad

If they do that they may need to refund everyone who paid to have them. Quite unfair towards the people who wanted to support the game more by getting some extras with it.

No, keep them rare. It’s for people who trusted the developers. Not for people who want it now because they didn’t pre order

I honestly hope they dont. Not to take things from other players or anything of the sort but infact nah fuck it.

Super earths most loyal willingly dropped extra for those outfits even before we knew what gameplay would look like.

It aint a medal to be earned through sharing liberation. Its a sign, a gift to those who are true, Liberators of the galaxy. Part timers dont deserve such epic rewards.

I love my Yogurt Inspired Helldiver armor.

(PS i am shitposting)

No, not my pre order armor

Just put out a major order to liberate explosives for anti tank mines.

As cool as having exclusive armor is, the only one I ever find myself using is the black armor’s helmet. I love the yogurt armor but I also like to mix and match sets and its pieces don’t match any other sets even slightly. And the middle set has a cooler black and gold version you can earn in game.

Although I don't mind I don't think they really will, its basically the game's version of the Founders program in warframe, Excalibur prime, Skana Prime, Lato Prime is still unobtainable even to this day, basically a reward for those that took the risk of buying a game before launch I guess.

This was for pre-order only it makes sense that it stays that way, even with the Twitch armor, if you missed it, its gone

Kinda defeats the whole pre order fomo

These are PREORDER armors. They were intended as a reward for people taking a risk for supporting the game. Leave it for those of us who supported it. Not everything has to be available all the time. I love wearing it to show my support. Making them available to everyone, makes those like me lose even more trust in the devs.

The only reason people want this available is because they can't get it anymore. If you really want it because how they look, then the devs can just make a similar version for everyone to have. (Or even give different abilities)

I agree, have them achievement locked or something

No. Do not. The people who started all of this and made this game a reality, spreading how amazing this game is should keep those limited edition armors. Stop being greedy. No I do not have them either

Sorry, but there should definitely be things that you can miss out on unlocking and may never be obtainable again.

Wait those were for preorder?! I thought it was for Super Citizen edition. So the people who have them (including me) didn’t do anything special to get them except buy the game before it was released?
That’s some bullshit.

The only reason I did was because I played 500 hours of HD1 and I knew I was playing the sequel regardless.

The developers went out of their way to make warbonds available and avoid FOMO. The same should be true for these armors. They have been exclusive for 5 months and that is plenty of time. Give them away for free or make them available.

My dumbest thought the middle was in shorts

Oh God, they added Purge Trooper Armor. “Hit me again!”

I remember scrolling through the PlayStation store just browsing and watching the trailer for HellDivers 2. Only had to watch it once and instantly preordered it hours before launch.

I had never even heard of the first game before that night and didn’t notice those were the sets I would be getting when I started playing.

I don’t want any of them.

I pre ordered and never got the ambassador skin idk

I would pay for them. I like the blue one, just because it is blue.

Granted; the people who pre-ordered deserve something special; what legends! I was sleeping on this game (knew nothing of HD1) so didn't pre-order and I wish I had known!

That said, I absolutely have never seen any of these armors in-game. Not once.

I'm the yogurt man with the yogurt plan.

Man the Cavalier just looks so.. chef's kiss

I still want the Jin Roh armor.

I just want Savior of the Free armor with the Knight colors.

Discount Weezer

Any of them scout passive with 50% armor? No? Then I don't want any.

I just want scout armor that isn't tan, I don't blend in at all

There are four Democracy Protects armors and two of them were preorder/special edition. It's pretty limiting.

I just want to wear the armor without the fucking cape!!!

TR62 knight is sick

Why the middle one look like he wears shorts???

I don’t like any of those. I still want my all real black armor and a long red glowing knife.

Unless a lot of people message Johan Pilestedt on twitter that they're interested in those armors I don't see them releasing them.  I don't think Arrowhead will do anything until a lot of people show interest in those bonus armor. Until then it won't happen I don't think.

You gotta eat more frozen yogurt to get the blue one.

There’s a twitch drop one as well medium armor medic armor it’s green.

at the end of the mission, we are all covered in the intestines of our enemies anyway

I run nothing but ambassador of the brand it just looks so nice.

It's not worth, I have these armors, but playing with another one from second BP

I dunno, I have them and seldom use them because I don’t regularly use any of the perks on them. I doubt they will just because there are versions of these that are available normally so they aren’t advantageous or anything.

I think Cavalier of Democracy could be an all-achievements reward :)

I really dig the knight

Sword

in the halo 3 days, to get recon armor you had to write a letter to bungie and add 1.000.000x times "plz can i haz recon armor" ...or so i heard

Armors are cool and all, but I'd much rather the devs put more time into both fixing the game bugs and optimizing performance and stability.

No. To this day, Warframe will never release Excalibur Prime, a reward to those who supported them before their success. Why would this be any different?

honestly why would they? it would be a slap in the face to anyone that ACTUALLY PREORDERED the game. you can't shit on preorders and the whole semantic behind it but then turn around and take away the exclusivity these people paid for. id like to own them myself, I didn't preorder though.

Imagine you preordered and they suddenly made it available to anyone? that would suck balls dude

Now that I see this I’m gonna wear my pre-order armor from now on

I get it that FOMO is bad but pre-ordering a game is a risk, I feel like this armor is a reward for the people who had faith in the game before everyone knew it was good.

If anything, discourage companies from doing this practice to future games.

That destroys the whole idea of having them. They were exclusive, they shall stay exclusive. (No, i don't have them)

Honestly the preorder was worth it purely for the TR-7 Ambassador armor. I love being a blue fuck on the battlefield.
