why do helldivers have no uniform code?

[BROTHER PHOBOS]

when i deploy into battle i feel like i'm a part of some power rangers party instead of a military unit, considering how every helldiver i deploy with has a different color - red, black, white, yellow, orange, green, brown, gold, blue, and what not... i'm pretty sure i even saw an armor and a cape which had xmas theme, made to make u look like an xmas elf-
i believe the helldivers' uniform code supposed to consist of black, yellow, white, and gold, but the game is actively punishing players who try to follow it by connecting the armor's look to the stats, and making it so the uniform code compliant uniforms sabotage ur helldiver's stats in comparison to other helldivers!
by the Emperor's mercy, how am i supposed to feel like i'm a part of a military unit if i'm being forced to look at this eyesore?

these new ones are a bit odd since we have the blue and white preorder armour for example be sponsored by a yogurt company, so it seems like in universe, the helldivers have become a product which allows them to have ♥♥♥♥ like toothpaste-coloured gear sponsored by yogurt companies

Would you expect anything else for the military force that deploys with the colours of Captain An-Cap, no less?

Because it's a video game
consider all the stuff that happens in the game, and people being allowed to customize their uniforms is where you are gonna draw the line at being "unrealistic"?

Different specialisations have different uniforms: Simple.

Given Super Earth lets us die for "Liberty" and behind the scenes consider us expendable, they have to find ways to make us feel important somehow. Why limit every choice you make that ultimately leads to worse outcomes? The only thing mandated is the cape but even that in itself is a artificial injection of 'freedom' as much as it is a symbolic pride as a Helldiver.

I don't want to think too much into it but I'm sure its all about trying to instill as much patriotism so much you are left feeling important as a Helldiver and even more important to Super Earth which is why there's no regulation in standardized gear. On top of it, the average lifespan of a Helldiver in the field is 2 minutes...sooooooo....

yes it bothers me too that they ditched yellow-black uniforms with sh*t brown, diarrhea beige, and snot green especially that ugly brown-beige bothers me a lot, when there are full helmets that are only grey with those beige patches, why can't it be just yellow

"we can't stay consequential with the artstyle we advertise bc it's a game" is an excuse of a bad game designer. hving uni4m differences th@ r within the uni4m code is still reasonable.

Erhm... have you played the game? Lol. Think of it sort of like the clone troopers if you want... different armor and markings to distinguish between units, squads, roles, etc... Then if you want to be a squad where you are all from the same unit or something then I guess you can invite your friends and try to convince them to all wear what you like. Lol. Good luck.

The hell divers are just goofy 90s video game characters that take inspiration from start ship troopers. they are color coded vibrant colors no sane person would wear in a war. you have things like green and white = medic and orange/red = explosives. the hell divers clearly care more about style considering their standard uniforms.

you have many inpirations

start ship troopers
warhamer 40k
dread
and goofy 90s video game character color coding

none of this is "realistic"

We'll see what happened 1 year after release.
