Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Shams Jorjani has voiced his interest in a significant change to Helldivers 2's armor system, specifically its passive abilities.  While Helldivers 2 has enjoyed considerable success since its early 2024 launch, the studio continually strives for improvement and refinement.

Jorjani's comments, shared on Discord and reported by Video Gamer, indicate a desire for a more engaging and robust system. He expressed a wish to "see a total rework of armor passives and tie it to a fun progression system." He further elaborated, suggesting potential without needing overly complex mechanics, stating, "I don't think we need to go bananas with plate systems and stuff - but we could do so much more."  Importantly, Jorjani clarified that these are his personal views and not official design plans, acknowledging, "All personal opinions... I don't go anywhere near design."

Currently, Helldivers 2 limits players to two armor passives, encouraging strategic decision-making.  While this system adds a layer of tactical depth, an expanded progression system tied to passives presents an intriguing possibility.  It is crucial to remember that Jorjani's comments are not a confirmation of upcoming changes but rather insights into his personal vision for the game.

The future of Helldivers 2 appears promising.  Arrowhead Game Studios has previously confirmed their intention for the game to evolve significantly over time, envisioning it transforming into a distinctly new experience through ongoing updates. This innovative approach to live service could yield remarkable results if executed effectively.  The game's trajectory remains positive, and only time will reveal the full extent of its evolution.
