- Don't overlook the SC-37 Legionnaire from the Superstore - its unique design with orange accents makes it stand out in battle.
Helldivers 2 is an incredible cooperative third-person shooter that allows players to customize their character's load-out with an assortment of weaponry, stratagems, and armor to give themselves the best chances of winning in the missions they have selected.
Helldivers 2: Worst Weapons You Should Never Use
Not all weapons in Helldivers 2 are created equal. Here are some of the worst ones that players should avoid using.
While it may be important to look at what traits each piece of armor has in Helldivers 2, players can't deny how cool some of the gear looks and may be tempted to purchase certain body armor due to their appearance. With this in mind, these armor sets are by far the coolest in the game, with some of them even being a great choice due to their stats as well.
8 EX-16 Prototype 16
Premium Cutting Edge Warbond - Page 2
Many of the best-looking armor can be found in the two premium Warbonds that are available to be purchased for 1000 Super Credits. Once the Warbond has been bought, players can then unlock the EX-16 Prototype 16 armor once they have reached the second page.
This robotic-themed armor in military green color is perfect for players who want to blend in with their surroundings while also having some impressive shoulders.

7 SA-32 Dynamo
Premium Steeled Veterans Warbond - Page 3
Before the Cutting Edge Premium Warbond was available, players were originally only able to buy the Steeled Veterans Warbond. On the third page of this Warbond, themed around explosives, it is the cleanest suit of heavy armor any player has ever seen.
Completely white pieces of armor pop out against the fabric, making the entire set look clean when put together. However, players should be warned they aren't likely to stay so white.

6 SA-04 Combat Technician
Free Warbond - Page 8
Players who haven't earned enough Super Credits for either Premium Warbond do not need to worry about missing out on the cool armor, as the free Warbond that is available to every player has plenty of interesting armor choices.
Helldivers 2: All Boosters, Ranked
Boosters are passive buffs to different traits that Helldivers have. Some are universally useful while others are only helpful in specific situations.
The SA-04 Combat Technician is unlocked later as the player progresses through the Warbond, but it's likely a set they'll want to purchase fully. Although simple in design, the pop of brown on the trousers is sure to make the player stand out against their other Helldivers.

5 SC-37 Legionnaire
Only Purchased From The Superstore
In Helldivers 2, some of the nicest-looking armor cannot be found in any three of the Warbonds but instead is purchased from the Superstore. This is a store that requires Super Credits instead of medals to purchase the armor that can be found within it.
The store tends to rotate through various sets, with one of the best of the bunch being the SC-37 Legionnaire light armor. Even if simplistic at a glance, the pops of orange from the knee, elbow, and shoulder pads really make the outfit one to rival.

4 DP-11 Champion Of The People
Free Warbond - Page 10
The Dynamo armor from the Steeled Veterans Warbond isn't the only white armor set that players can get their hands on. Even those who only have access to the Free Warbond on the tenth page can purchase the Champion of the People medium armor that will dress them in a perfectly white set.
The red outlines of the shoulders and coat add the spark of color the armor needs while not taking away from the sleek design of the rest of the gear. Thankfully, sticking out in such a way will not cause the player to be shot more.

3 SC-30 Trailblazer Scout
Free Warbond - Page 7
Although players may be put off by the lower armor ranking of light armor, the Trailblazer Scout set makes up for it in style. This is the only set of light armor that truly feels like it was made for a fan who has wanted to play as a scout.
Helldivers 2: All Backpack Items, Ranked
Choosing the right Backpack Stratagem is essential to ensuring Democracy is spread across the conquerable planets of Helldivers 2.
The long coat, matched with the helmet that can also be purchased on the seventh page of the free Warbond, may remind players of the hunter class from Destiny.

2 CM-14 Physician
Free Warbond - Page 9
While players can't play a predominantly support character in Helldivers 2, they can still dress like one. The Physician armor set is a perfect medium armor for players who want to dress as if their role is to heal those who have been under intense fire from Terminids and Automatons alike.
With the increased number of stims, meaning if fellow Helldivers have run out of their own stims, the player can heal them instead.

1 DP-40 Hero Of The Federation
Free Warbond - Page 5
Out of all the available armor in Helldivers 2, by far the best of those available has to be the Hero of the Federation armor, which can be found on the fifth page of the Free Warbond.
This armor is simply black and gold, which shows an air of professionalism when worn. Not to mention how the helmet alongside the medium body armor makes the player look like some sort of Roman soldier who is ready for battle.
