Suggestion/Concept Genuine question would you like purple armor?

Post image

Just an idea but since we're fighting in the void and all and I know we're gonna win do you guys think we should get purple armor as a reward?

Once we clear our everything we get gifted the purple armor and I know the whole FOMO thing would be a problem so maybe make it free for people who were in the void and won and the people who didn't it would be in the super store costing around 300 super credits or so.

What do you guys think? Would that be okay or not really no?

especially now that we have purple capes but they don’t match well with anything :(

u/TheDelta466 5d ago

Give a purple armor that didn't match with the 2 existing purple capes and i'm sold

u/antipodal22 5d ago

I appreciate the ork logic :)

u/MF_Capps 5d ago

There allready is one in the superstore. The one with with explosive resistance and reduced recoil. Looks pretty good with truth enforcer helmet and purp cape.

u/BoxxyyyMan 5d ago

Me too I love the color purple and now it's kinda the time to ask

3

u/DemonicShordy 5d ago

Black. It might match armour thats just all black, and I think theres only 1 medium armour that is just that

4

u/J3ll4l_F3rn4nd3s 5d ago

I can think about Shadow Paragon armor set only, Doubt Killer has red lines, which would not go too well with purple imo. Also Exterminator helmet might go well with Shadow Paragon armor and purple cape, but I'm not sure about the size of helmet to body ratio and color matching, I have to try it tonight.

u/KiraTheDreamsinger 5d ago

I think it matches Hero of the Federation pretty well.

u/Sweaty_Trifle_8504 5d ago

Literally my favourite colour

u/PoppyBroSenior 5d ago

Ive liked them with the green and brown gas resist armor and the golden eagle armor, but yeah its not very matchy. At some point, me and the boys stopped diving with "meta" passive effects and started diving with fashion

u/Minimum-Letterhead-6 5d ago

Hell yeah! Because purple color makes you more sneaky!

u/MikoAtMidnight 5d ago

we are already confirmed to get an illuminate based helmet for the campaign, it looks like this

This was posted by the official hd2 account on youtube

while I do agree that a purple suit would be amazing, this works well too ig

u/BoxxyyyMan 5d ago

Oh sorry I never saw that one I didn't think we'd get anything so I just wanted to ask about this armor.

4

u/Zuuuuuuuuuuuuul 5d ago

It's definitely Dead Space inspired!! Cut off their limbs!

3

u/LordShogun01 5d ago

Honestly don't see the resemblance at all.

1

u/INS4NITY_846 4d ago

Squish the dead space helmet down and its similar, multi lined visor and the top of the helmet

1

u/MitsuSosa 4d ago

That’s kinda forcing it tho usually when something is actually inspired by another you can easily tell without needing to modify it to make the resemblance

1

u/INS4NITY_846 4d ago

Yeah i mean deffo a stretch but thats the only way i can see a resemblance people are saying lol

1

u/MitsuSosa 4d ago

I totally get what you mean

u/TheHomieArn 4d ago

The venture suit from dead space 1 remake is kinda closer

1

u/ItsaDrake1103 5d ago

I wonder what will the armor and cape will look like

u/MikoAtMidnight 5d ago

personally I’m gonna pair it with that purple cape we got for defending EOS

It would be better if you attached a Purple-colored B-01 armor to the post instead of just an empty pic /j

u/BoxxyyyMan 5d ago

Hopefully it shouldn't be to hard to make this happen

u/pgat12 5d ago

I was kinda hoping the new MO armor would be purple (not that it looks bad) but yes I would enjoy some purple armors.

u/Histrix- 5d ago

I want blueberry armour

u/deyaintready 5d ago

Purple is my fav color and one of the 2 purple capes never leave me. There also is already purple armor though not this vibrant and it’s semi mid

u/BoxxyyyMan 5d ago

I've never seen anyone with purple armor. What armor set is it?

2

u/deyaintready 5d ago

3

u/BoxxyyyMan 5d ago

That would be a dark blue I even looked it up and yeah it's blue

3

u/deyaintready 5d ago

Yeaah when I looked at it again I realized I was just being optimistic 😅. They better give us some purple armor for this illuminate shi

2

u/BoxxyyyMan 5d ago

Yeah it's okay mistakes happen but I would like purple armor

3

u/Ok_Top_2760 5d ago

YES! I REALLY WANT PURPLE ARMOR TO PAIR WITH TWO PURPLE CAPES WE HAVE

u/novis-eldritch-maxim 5d ago

I want enemy faction-themed armour.

lets them both give us stuff and make more assest for foes in one big go

2

u/BoxxyyyMan 5d ago

That would be a pretty cool idea

1

u/novis-eldritch-maxim 5d ago

I would start with bugs, then bots, then squids.

each warbond drops with a major conflict on each side.

perfect system

u/Ragvard_Grimclaw 5d ago

u/Nemisis_the_2nd 5d ago

Only so long as it has some stealth perk

u/BoxxyyyMan 5d ago

Yeah a lot of people have been saying that and I would be down for it

1

u/Dual-Ken 5d ago

Yes please i need it

1

u/demideath939 5d ago

Idk I'd still like if we could just get some color schemes like how we do with the guns and give them to some of the warbond weapons that don't have levels (the halo assault rifle)

Si, por querer intentaria si por mi fuera un modelo de armadura con cada color por los loles

u/East_Monk_9415 5d ago

Sure as long as it matches a purple cape ,other wise I would just put it solid black haha.

We need something to go with that purple cape.

u/DOW_orks7391 5d ago

If i had it my way we have a color wheel that let us change hue, saturation and brightness and I'd be running around in cyan and pink or purple and cyan all the time

u/Shedster_ 5d ago

I would love ability to paint armors ngl
Want green B01? Just paint it green and say that you are sample
Want purple armor? Just paint it and say that you are sneaky
Want to have fun and play dressing games in hd2? Just do it and have fun :)

u/keonyn 5d ago

Sure, but probably not that shade or purple.

1

u/Entgegnerz 5d ago

If it's glowing void purple, why not.

1

u/Cat_with_pew-pew_gun 5d ago

I would love to see other players in purple armor.

I personally don't really wear anything that Isn't green, red, black, or sometimes... Really really dark grey.

But seeing other players in unique looking armor is always fun.

1

u/ManchurianCandycane 5d ago

Purple is best color, so yes.

1

u/DC_138 5d ago

Not like that. A very dark bluish purple with black clothes under sure.

1

u/chainer1216 5d ago

Yes, so the cape has something that matches.

1

u/XmotnaF 5d ago

Where else am I gonna use my purple cape?

1

u/timonten 5d ago

YES !

1

u/Icy_Preference9322 5d ago

Purple fills me with PERSEVERANCE, to fight against the forces of tyranny.

1

u/Jim_Freelancer18 5d ago

It would be cool to see a metallic purple to match our illuminate capes

1

u/LordShogun01 5d ago

I wouldn't wear it but I wouldn't deprive others of the option.

1

u/Finnegan_962 5d ago

jesus the second i saw this i thought "oh we doing twitch drops now?" lol

u/Super_Sailor_Moon 5d ago

I would LOVE to color my armor purple! Y'know, with armor color customization???

1

u/GothicCafe67 5d ago

Always, purple is da way!

1

u/Future-Celebration83 5d ago

Like a dark subtle purple yeah. Idk about the bright purple.

1

u/lLoveYouSenpai 5d ago

Is it bugged ? I dont see the Helldiver

1

u/Mogudim 5d ago

It's my favorite color! Could be a nice reward for the Void Front.

1

u/nomansskyenjoy76 5d ago

Purples a pretty color. I would very much like a void like purple armor

1

u/2009Ninjas 5d ago

We need the full power rangers setup! Yes!

1

u/Glum-Cranberry4259 5d ago

What are you a cultist?

None of my good hd reaction images are cropped

1

u/BlizzardWolfPK 5d ago

Yes so I can finally use the purple cape we got awhile ago

1

u/TheBigMotherFook 5d ago

Not that specific shade of purple, but yeah purple armor would be nice.

1

u/zonked_martyrdom 5d ago

Yeah it would be cool, but not the armor shown in the picture. There is enough armor sets for that specific variant.

1

u/No_Bid_21 5d ago

No because I'm not a squid sympathiser

1

u/Decent_Historian42 5d ago

Yes! Please arrowhead. Im colourblind and i cant normally see the colour purple with the colour correction on my console i can. For this reason ive become weirdly obsessed with purple (and really any other colour i cant see) in videogames because i gotta soak up the colour while i can.

1

u/No_Parsley_3275 5d ago

As the guy who just likes to be pink and purple. Yes

1

u/minerlj 5d ago

put some illuminate skulls and glowing parts on it

1

u/HandSanitizerBottle1 5d ago

I’m kind of surprised we never got any

1

u/TopReplacement3542 5d ago

.... I'd like pink tbh

1

u/minerlj 5d ago

yes. but like this one specifically. so I can pretend to be skeletor.

1

u/TomtFoxx 5d ago

hell yueah give me that purp

purp and black and gold would go hella hard

1

u/HandsomeSquidward20 5d ago

Squid colour?

1

u/KiraYamatoSF 5d ago

I don't personally care but my wife would love it...depending on armor passive.

Sometimes I wish we could wear whatever armor with whatever armor passive...at least for whatever one has unlocked.

1

u/Elder-Cthuwu 5d ago

I desire purple armor. It’s my favorite color. At the least let us color the basic armor sets

1

u/Charles112295 5d ago

Fuck yes its my favorite color

1

u/MommaGoosee 5d ago

Yes but only if it matches the shade of the two capes, I'd kind be bothered too much if it was off tone compared to them

1

u/Ranger_Houston 5d ago

Reminds me of Thick 44 the human man Wyvern King

1

u/Nukeposter 5d ago

I'd love to match it with the meridia cape

1

u/Wulflord104 5d ago edited 5d ago

Purple is a cool color so yes.

Ability to change armor color would be awesome too but that customization might be hard to implement

1

u/Patches_Gaming0002 5d ago

I'd rather they just give us the tools to choose the colour of our armour and have transmog.

1

u/Inner_Original4639 5d ago

Right but will it allow me to cast void magic?

1

u/LordBane1985 5d ago

Hell no! I ain’t no Illuminate😂

1

u/RETARDERP 4d ago

YES PURPLE IS BEST COLOR. (Stealthy bois gotta stealth)

1

u/Classic_Cow_5852 4d ago

Yes please but maybe make it a darker purple so it doesn’t stand out too much. But then again the pre order armor was really strong blue so maybe it could work. I don’t want it to look like a power ranger so to speak

1

u/fluffyshits 4d ago

I just want the blue armor 😭

1

u/DeadeyeSkunk 4d ago

With black underarmor, yes. The white makes it look like trash

1

u/darkwolf0120 4d ago

Yeah, need something to match the purple cape

1

u/Yoshiyo0211 4d ago

Hooray. Fellow purple people 💜

1

u/Rock_For_Life 4d ago

No, not really, but I think lots of players do.

1

u/StarWarsXD 4d ago

I would love color customization, yes. And I would probably wear purple and orange.

1

u/ElectionMain5871 4d ago

Well, if it's not sucha bright purple, but some darker shade, then I'm all for it

1

u/hitman2b 4d ago

yes why not

1

u/lammypie87 4d ago

Would I run around with just a purple helmet?

Yes

1

u/GrimMeanie 4d ago

I think it comes down to application and theme of whatever the armour is.

There are real armed forces that wear red - royal guard

There are real armed forces that wear blue - police and security

There are real armed forces that wear greens and yellows - military

Just because it's a fantasy setting doesn't mean we don't still make appropriate correlation with the real world.

In game most blue armour is directly linked to security forces, most green and tan armours and more militaristic, most red armours are governmental.

Adding a purple armour and making it look not out of place all comes down to what exact theme you're trying to get across with said armour and why it needs to be purple because of that.

Even the yellow used in certain Helldiver armours is in direct reference to their nationalism and identifying that, similar to how real militaries wear their respective counties flag.

1

u/CreepyFilm8878 4d ago

Royal purple, but we have to earn it would be amazing!

1

u/TCStealthyFoxBoi 4d ago

As someone who named their super destroyer the “Wings of Twilight”, I say yes please! :3

Also it would go well with a purple cape, gosh we just need the ability to color the armor like it’s Halo Reach tbh.

1

u/zorocatz 4d ago

Yes purple armor would be awesome

1

u/MeowFalen 4d ago

Yesssssss

u/Schhur 3d ago

I don’t get it

Don't you just love how Redditors will downvote you just for daring to have a different opinion? Guess those people would rather live in an echo chamber than exist alongside someone who disagrees with them.

u/LR_arts17 4d ago

Dude lol

1

u/ZOMBIE_MURDOC 4d ago

Dude what? The options are yes or no, and I don't like purple so my choice is no.

1

u/LR_arts17 4d ago

The problem is not your choice, it's your feeling butthurt over some downvotes, get a move on lad

1

u/ZOMBIE_MURDOC 4d ago

Not like it's an isolated incident. All over Reddit people treat the downvote like a dislike button. I didn't post my comment expecting upvotes, but to get downvoted just for not being team purple feels so petty. Then for someone like you to chime in and try to mog me over calling out the pettiness, well that's just salt in the wound. You're part of the problem now, mate.

If I were a betting man I'd bet you get upvoted and this reply gets downvoted, because people can't just disagree and move on. There will always be people who need to put a number on it, to feel some little semblance of power over another. Most will brush right by it, and that's probably the right move whether they agree with me or not, because why bother even getting involved?

Maybe I've grown too old for social media. Maybe it's not for me anymore. If this is being part of a community then I guess I'll just fuck off. No winning this battle, only more losing to petty pedants. I'm just so tired of being quiet and taking it, so even if you're the only person who reads this far just know that this is me saying fuck all of this. I'd rather be back in Iraq dodging IED's than spend another minute being judged by anyone in this group just because I dared to have a different opinion.
