No

Here is the real answer: the developers have said that capes will never be removed, however mods that can do this for you exist: https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/196

The developers have also said that nobody will be banned for using cosmetic-only mods, such as model replacers: https://imgur.com/a/OFEPcEp

All I can say is that you'll get used too it.

I didn't like the cape at the start either, it's a bit too cheesy for me but eventually you'll not even think about it and think it's normal.

It looks super cool if you jetpacked around and see your cloak torn and shredded from the jetpack tho.

yeah devs have some weird ideas about cosmetics, especially tying armour passives to armour sets is very limiting

even from a business pov it makes sense to have them separate because you can monetize these things in more ways

I hate that you even considered that as a viable business action 😭

But yeah I wish they gave us more choices for passives.

I'd be fine if they gave multiple passive options per armor too. For example the Steeled Veterans armors all have extra ammo packs cosmetically around their armor sets so it would make sense the siege ready passive would also work with these armor sets aesthetics.

They could thus have each armor set have multiple passives you could choose to apply too it without it losing too much of their unique charm.

what can i say? i'm a sucker for being able to dress up my character games. for muliplayer games like this they have to make their money somehow and cosmetics is the least annoying way to do it, i do think the store is too barebones as it is now as well, almost as bad as the darktide one

I find it honestly really annoying that "capes" are the hill that Arrowhead have chosen to die on. I'm all for including theme into game mechanics (ala the Raise SE Flag objective), but having to wear a full-length cape with every outfit severely limits character customisation. It also means we can't have other back details, like for instance "waist capes". To me, wearing a backpack over a cape looks just absolutely ridiculous.

Sometimes, I wish Arrowhead would remember that they're not developing Magicka any more.

I recommend Nexus Mods for Hell Divers 2, a couple of guys on there made audio fixes for some of the enemies in the game

No. All helldivers wear capes.

In all seriousness, even if the devs DID add this as an option. Your going to be teamkilled for being a traitor so frequently you'd be forced to play the game solo forever. I wouldn't recommend it.
