As you could be conscious (we have banged on about it a bit already this week) Helldivers 2 bought a cowboy-themed Warbond dubbed Borderline Justice yesterday. It has no cowboy hat, as a result of Arrowhead does not reckon that such headgear suits throughout the Helldiver uniform restrictions.
Plenty of gamers do not agree with that assessement – a few of them have even stormed out of the official gear saloon to select up a mod that’ll allow them to staff the brand new armours with a ten-gallon hat. Now, at the moment on sabbatical Helldivers 2 director and chief inventive officer Johan Pilestedt has supplied his personal view on the scenario through a twitter thread despatched whereas he is at GDC saying issues throughout panels.
Having requested gamers for his or her ideas on the Borderline Justice gear, the dev was naturally shortly requested by a number of individuals the place the Warbond’s cowboy hat is, or whether or not the sport shall be getting one in some unspecified time in the future down the road.
“I do not know – have not heard the design convo. However I believe it crossed the road of what the Helldivers are. Which I agree with,” he wrote in a single reply, “I’ll ask the staff subsequent time I pop by the workplace.” One other participant bought a barely completely different response from Pilestedt: “I agree that it might be superior, however I believe it might break the fantasy of Helldivers…individuals do not put on hats on helmets.”
Various gamers have been a bit exasperated by that final bit, and have been attempting to remind the dev that the beret from the PH-9 Predators armour in final yr’s Viper Commandos Warbond can be a hat on prime of a helmet, and bought previous these strict uniform regs. I suppose it is determined by your definition of suitably military-ish hats. Do cowboys go to conflict, and is a cavalry hat a unique factor?
Regardless, one factor Pilestedt did counsel could be coming within the fiuture duuring that thread sounds fairly cool. “[A] perk that enables individuals to take sidearms as major AND wield them akimbo…”, he wrote, “Sadly a bit an excessive amount of work to make the animations, however possibly someday sooner or later?”
Do you waltz round rocking a hat in your helmet in actual life? Which helmet are you referring in your reply? Tell us beneath!
