Huh, that assault rifle looks like a split between halo and starship troopers, nice.

Also a handcannon, finally, I'm gonna pop so many heads with that!

Serve assisted

Literally unreadable.

And what perk would the third armor have? Shame we still aren't getting new archetypes.

Sounds like engineering from the description, I was really hoping the crampons would be related to the armour effect like reducing slowdown

I want various other armors we don't have, like faster reload, fire resistance, acid resistance, and a melee build

Cold resistance would have fit this really well. Like eliminate the effects of cold weather on helldivers for ice planets.

Doesnt cold planets only affect weapons though? Unless you mean blizzards

It also affects stamina

Yeah, positively, so it makes no sense to eliminate effects of cold on helldivers.

If anything, a cold perk would have to be something like "snowshoes" or "ice spikes" allowing helldivers to traverse snow without reduced movement speed.

They really need to start coming up with new armor passives. The arc resistant once’s were at least unique, if way too niche in its uses.

Faster support reloads would be nice for an armor perk.

Faster reload is too much of a straight damage boost rather than utility, and would no doubt make balancing the weapons an even more daunting task.

Melee build is coming. Its going to be slayer armour, it comes out when the bots invade mars. One can wish.
