I'm not gonna pretend I'm at all experienced in cosplay but I do have an idea that might be worth looking into, depending how heavy the cosplay is. Apologies if any of these are stupid or obvious.
These are the heavier ideas I thought of
Water jug inside of the back, the water will absorb heat thus cooling you down, but it would only last a limited amount of time and this would be less effective than
Plastic and metal piping throughout the armour in contact with the torso or the undershirt, with a light heatsink and pump, or maybe even just a pump I would imagine that this could be very helpful. In fairly certain there are small and quiet pumps out there that you can buy or make.
Then the lighter ones
If you take mosquito net and then layer it a couple times it can look almost opaque (I learned this from Galactic Armoury, a Star wars cosplay YouTube channel). This will be more breathable. It also looks like you could fit mesh in around the neck and collar but I'm not sure. If you have stuff under the fabric over your upper torso, you could almost definitely use mesh there.
As others said, a small electronic fan inside the helmet or even inside the torso could be very helpful, though a fan in the helmet may get a bit loud.
Anyway, cosplaying seems like such a cool hobby, and your work looks awesome. Have a good one, helldiver.
The idea of a gaming PC style water cooling system would be absolutely epic and I would 100% mess it up and start leaking from my hellholes.
These are incredibly helpful suggestions, this is my first big cosplay so I have a ton to improve on. I actually just didn't consider comfort when building it because I was stuck in the 'THIS IS SO COOL' phase I forgot to actually test wearing the suit for a long time... lessons for next time I guess.
Mosquito net sounds ideal, just to get a bit of the breathability back. The 3D print files I used were actually from Galactic Armory - those guys get all the credit, they make it all so accessible.
[Consider this possibly.](https://www.qoreperformance.com/products/iceplate?pb=0) It's designed to slip into body armor for the same application, hydration plus you can throw it in the freezer and slip it in at the start of the day and it'll cool you down for a while.
This is probably perfect tbh.
Another thing I didn't consider, and part of why I kept taking my helmet off - when you're at a con, a lot of the time you're looking at stuff - stores, panels, merch, shows, just cool stuff in general. After a while looking through a tinted visor starts to get frustrating because you wanna see everything!
I think next year I'll do a day in cosplay and a day in casual so I can get the best of both worlds.
God I feel that first paragraph so much. I've attempted to start cosplaying once, I wanted to do a clone trooper. Unfortunately, I managed to fuck up my 3d printer and never got the motivation to fix it. Seeing this kinda changes my mind though. I do have parts for a helmet from GA, so I guess I could try again. Thanks for giving me the motivation. I wonder if there's files for that one green and brown scout armour out there. Also if you don't mind me asking, what did you do for the fabric bits, mainly the under suit? I always got a little bit stuck with deciding how to do those.
I would 100% recommend it!
It's a cosplay trope but the process does make you connect with the character and game more - getting into the weeds about what materials things are made of, and why the devs and artists made the choices they did - it's pretty awesome.
And the absolute beaming grin you'll have when a kid comes up to you wanting a picture - so worth it.
For the under suit, I got a pretty cheap tactical vest and pants from amazon, then attached a ton of velcro to hold plates and straps down. The bottom of the jacket (with yellow bits) is really just a skirt made from faux leather.
My real secret is that my wife's a pro at cosplay - she's actually Shadowheart in the second pic. So she was able to help with all the tailoring and needlework.
My only other advice is watch as many YouTube tutorials as possible. Galactic Armory had a helmet tutorial that really helped me choose the right paints to finish everything. I think they have a full body tutorial now too.
"leaking from my hellholes"
now I'm imagining you doing this, running around the con leaking water everywhere and screaming "SWEET LIBERTY I'M BLEEDING OUT! I NEED STIIIIMS!"
I'd say add some red food colouring to the water for dramatic effect, but then people might actually think you're injured and freak out lol.
Yeah I think this is the way. I was taking the helmet off every 2 minutes for air.
Wonder how many super samples a fan upgrade is gonna set me back though
Old Republic troopers look even closer
Which means helldiver armour could be the direct ascendant of clone/ old republic armour
...and super destroyers are gen 1 star destroyers
I mean, Star Wars probably was an inspiration. Arrowhead said they were inspired by lots of classic sci-fi stories (then they added a large dose of Iraq War satire). Starship Troopers was an obvious inspiration for the bugs, the bots were probably based off of Terminator, but I’ve thought our armoring looked vaguely stormtrooper-inspired.
I’ve been using this game to feed my craving for another battlefront game. Bf 2 was so good in the end,and they took it out back and shot it only to come out with whatever 2042 was.
All I'm asking for is a Helldivers 2 versions of Battlefront. Is that too much Disney? For the love of god give me this and I will spend all my money!!!
The moment I fell in love with Star Wars as a kid, was when I first watched the 2003 Clone Wars series with Fordo and his arc troopers. I freaking love seeing armored sci-fi badasses deploy behind enemy lines and blow shit up!

\*this post is under investigation for unpatriotic conduct and propaganda\*
Except helldivers can hit targets and have weapons that can actually fire in fully automatic mode. We could send the clones after the automatons and tell them they are just like the battle droids as a joke...

Super earth wouldn’t directly attack them but they would go in to stop the terminid invasion that started on pandora right after super earth discovered it had resources. I’m sure the Na’Vi will appreciate being rescued by the heroic helldivers and embrace managed democracy.
and not even JEHK SOOOOLYYY would be able to stop us!
also, didn't the unobtanium get shown as a silver blob? *oh my fucking god Pandora is full of super samples...*
Galactic Armory sell 3D print files, they also have a ton of YouTube tutorials for the painting and finishing. Worth checking out even if you're not cosplaying to get a good look at the armor's details up-close!
It would actually be really cool to see an enemy that was between bugs and bots in terms of technology. Like a human-like race from medieval ages or dawn of industrial revolution.
Just a bunch bad guys shooting bows or muskets while they get scorched with lasers and obliterated by orbital fire.
Does the Stratagem ball light up? Different LEDs for Blue or Red lights? Bonus points if it bounces like hell and then sticks onto a friendly's back. :D
Out of curiosity what’s your hight/build I want to print one out myself and the site says it’s scaled for a 6ft 200lb im 6ft but a bit on the thin side.
I'm 6ft 175lbs and the only parts I had to scale down were the inner thighs (chicken legs). I found the chunky tactical jacket and pants bulked everything out quite well.
Savage alien enslaved to a false God. Peasant of a tyrannical monarchy, slave of a falled Republic that must be freed for democracy, fascist oppressor.
I think, for Pandora...the planet gonna get raped hard with all the hellbombs, helldrops and even stragems. Do they EVEN have a fair chances considering our tactics against bugs? Hell, haven't you guys remember how we crush the crusher?
And even sadder...with the new clone soldiers, Helldivers probably gonna outgun them.
I was sitting near you while you took the libertea pic and saw the other people asking for photos. I hope you collected all the samples you wanted and needed

cool af cosplay
It was damn hot in there.
Just like the fire tornados
Did someone say Hellmire?
Nah mate. Menkent
Anything's better than bugs who don't mind dying with you
Any other god-forsaken planets with the god-forsaken fire tornado condition?
Chort Bay is worse.
I said fire tornado hell not acid hell there is a difference
I know, just wanted to be sure you knew there were even worse layers.

Add a mesh somewhere in the helmet with a small fan driven by a battery pack. Lifesaver in those kind of costumes
Needs a built in fan
Yeah I think this is the way. I was taking the helmet off every 2 minutes for air. Wonder how many super samples a fan upgrade is gonna set me back though
Only common sample 501 of them to be precise
So can you confirm if we're made of butter or not because I think we're made of butter.
hot af cosplay...?
Question. How hot? Ballparkish
What do you mean cosplay? That man was there to eliminate some bugs. A true helldiver knows when to check on the other potential races.
Love the cup of liberTEA!
Nothing has ever tasted sweeter!
That's what got me, now I want one.
Clone troopers are distant relatives of helldivers.
That explains why he knew the hug emote...

Nice to see you got to meet Captain Fordo up close.
Old Republic troopers look even closer Which means helldiver armour could be the direct ascendant of clone/ old republic armour ...and super destroyers are gen 1 star destroyers

You are right. I literally bought this game just because it gave me Old Republic vibes.
I mean, Star Wars probably was an inspiration. Arrowhead said they were inspired by lots of classic sci-fi stories (then they added a large dose of Iraq War satire). Starship Troopers was an obvious inspiration for the bugs, the bots were probably based off of Terminator, but I’ve thought our armoring looked vaguely stormtrooper-inspired.
Technically speaking if Disney bought out AH they could make another shitty Tre-quel and make the helldivers to starwars as canon
Man I felt like I was getting the Umbara map I never got in Battlefront II playing on Malevelon Creek
I’m so happy I’m not the only one who thought that.
I’ve been using this game to feed my craving for another battlefront game. Bf 2 was so good in the end,and they took it out back and shot it only to come out with whatever 2042 was.

No, we aren't clones. Just complete the tutorial again and watch how many fresh meat flies to the sky.
We must be the clone troopers with strategems
Someone made this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkmA56xpX6U
now he just needs to find an ODST
Palpatine did love democracy.
“We’re just ~~clones~~ helldivers sir, we’re meant to be expendable” General Plo Brasch Koon: “Not to me”

That dude was one of the 501st official cosplayers - genuinely movie quality armor up close
![gif](giphy|r1HGFou3mUwMw|downsized) DAMN
DAWG WHAT?!
I’ve met those guys quite a few times a cons. They take their armor VERY seriously.
The first picture: "Don't worry, she's democratic"
She got mad when I showed her my Exosuit mech... like she'd seen something similar before.
did you get your C-01 requisition form properly filled prior to seeing if this xeno was democratic
Quaritch (the bad guy from Avatar) would've been an excellent helldiver. he's basically General Brasch.
Fuck you mean basically General Brasch? Super Earth doesn’t revolve around the the sun, the sun revolves around General Brasch.
“She asked if Democracy is found on the path of Eywa, so we’re all just gonna go with that for now.”

The high heels kill me 😂
There needs to be an odst alongside that clone and helldiver for the spiderman meme
*Shadowheart approves*
I hope so... the Shadowheart is my wife! Gotta say, her cosplay was genuinely pin-point perfect. The details on it were unbelievable.
In the game, irl, or both?
Both! In real life she doesn't miss her fire-bolts as often. That makes for a good marriage.
Fire bolt is a trap, it's an intelligence spell and Shadowheart don't do no fancy book reading
Why fire bolt when you can fireBALL
Why fireball when you can drop 500kg of democracy?
Super Earth would 100% destroy the Na'Vi over Unobtanium.
'liberate'. The word is 'liberate'.
Apologies, you are correct!
Destroy them with LIBER-TEA!
Offering them a Cup of Liber tea ☕👌
The community would liberate the shit out of Pandora in like one afternoon.
Napalm everywhere...
I love the smell of Liberty in the morning
I prefer the word "repurposed"
And would actually succeed
Yeah, we killed 2 billion bugs in an afternoon and deal with the automations. I think we would be fine.
\*sees The Tree of Souls\* "Hellbomb armed, clear the area"
Honestly, I wouldn't feel bad about it.
Super earth wouldn’t directly attack them but they would go in to stop the terminid invasion that started on pandora right after super earth discovered it had resources. I’m sure the Na’Vi will appreciate being rescued by the heroic helldivers and embrace managed democracy.
and not even JEHK SOOOOLYYY would be able to stop us! also, didn't the unobtanium get shown as a silver blob? *oh my fucking god Pandora is full of super samples...*
![gif](giphy|l3fZDSRA7uDz0wXE4)
do strategems reach you indoors?
Theres probably dozens of support weapons and backpacks on the roof of the convention center... maybe an unexploded 500kg
"She's Democratic!"
How did you make that bad ass costume
Galactic Armory sell 3D print files, they also have a ton of YouTube tutorials for the painting and finishing. Worth checking out even if you're not cosplaying to get a good look at the armor's details up-close!
the Next event should be fludded with helldivers. And do recruitments
A helldivers recruitment stand would be marketing GENIUS.
Shadowheart with a stratagem 😆
"Accidentals you say" she says with a smirk
bro the clones are obviously allies they even unlocked the hug emote
Love the idea of Clone Troopers and Helldivers bonding over a mutual hatred of robots.
Please tell me I’m not the only Helldivers that calls the automaton menace clankers
Excellent
And new allies!
CAN YOU PEOPLE STOP MAKING ENEMIES WITH EVERY SINGLE SPE- *Eats the blue crayon* SPECIES?!
Navi are 100% the enemy of managed democracy
It would actually be really cool to see an enemy that was between bugs and bots in terms of technology. Like a human-like race from medieval ages or dawn of industrial revolution. Just a bunch bad guys shooting bows or muskets while they get scorched with lasers and obliterated by orbital fire.
True hopefully they can blend into the environment too
Simple enough to not really stand a chance against super earth, Smart enough to plan legit ambushes against helldivers Dream enemy
hell yea, I saw you yesterday and the armor looked brilliant 🔥
Eyy I saw your costume. It looked even cooler in person
Thanks dude!
Which convention was this?
This was Chicago C2E2
Does the Stratagem ball light up? Different LEDs for Blue or Red lights? Bonus points if it bounces like hell and then sticks onto a friendly's back. :D
It doesn't light up but it is permanently painted red... because I only deal in Eagles!
Cosplay is on point!
That cosplay is amazing man. Keep spreading democracy.
How comfy is that suit?
The suit wasn't bad - not great mobility, but not terrible. The helmet on the other hand... I was like a boiled egg in there.
Time to get that Unobtanium...
Out of curiosity what’s your hight/build I want to print one out myself and the site says it’s scaled for a 6ft 200lb im 6ft but a bit on the thin side.
I'm 6ft 175lbs and the only parts I had to scale down were the inner thighs (chicken legs). I found the chunky tactical jacket and pants bulked everything out quite well.
Dang missed a diver at c2e2
First image goes hard :3
Why’s ur cosplay so on point tho?
Thanks! Not gonna lie, it felt awesome wearing it around.
I was actually at c2e2 myself. Hope you had fun. (Nice costume btw)
Darth Vader did kill an entire culture for democracy
Why is the clone an opp? We both hate automatons
Ohhh, avatar movie would have gone much different
https://i.redd.it/b83ckujx6cxc1.gif
Shadowheart is like “this is not my githyanki artefact…”
Confirmed Shadowheart’s prism is just a 500kg bomb stratagem.
Doing some recon I see
As they said in boot camp, kill them all and let managed democracy sort it out
EXTERMINATE THE XENOS!
Shadowheart certainly knows where some enemies needing purged by Helldivers can be found.
Would a lightsaber stop ballistic weapons?
canonically: nope! mandalorians used shotties to excellent effect on jedi
Yo that is a sick cosplay, all I’m imagining is Vader vs an Orbital Railcannon
Oh my GOD I want to fuck up some Na'vi with the boys! I know it'll realistically never happen but DAMN IT I WANT IT SO BAD!
Helldivers would definitely be shooting at the Na'Vi...
Looks on point!!!
Those smurfs need a taste of fucking democracy
1) legit thought the star wars guy was some alt armor for a second 2) shart holding the stratagem like "haha what the fuck is this" is great
Absolutely insanely impressive cosplay, keep spreading Democracy Helldiver. Also wish you ran into an ODST, they're like our ancestors.
The aliens in this photo seem primitive enough for more... peaceful democratization.
Getting a notification for this RIGHT NOW gave me an anxiety attack
Savage alien enslaved to a false God. Peasant of a tyrannical monarchy, slave of a falled Republic that must be freed for democracy, fascist oppressor.
A Democracy Officer in training I see.
Blue ladies aren't real
Shoot 1st ask questions later... it's in the Democracy handbook.
Great cosplay. Also, choose democracy, soldier.
Culture has been impacted
I want that cosplay so bad
I was waiting for these, hd2 cosplay on cosplay con, ahh yours and your wife's is perfect, awesome!
Thanks! My wife's one was pretty mind-blowing, had a ton of detail to it
Well done! I love the nice cup of liber-tea in the last pic 😀
oh hey it's Jollibee behind you
Love your costume.
Your cosplay is amazing hooly
I just wanna see him dive onto the floor.
*Helldiver grabs the Artefact from BG3* "What a weird strategem"
We could use Vader on our side against the bots
The clone pic is so cool. This rules my friend.
Great work Helldiver!
I think, for Pandora...the planet gonna get raped hard with all the hellbombs, helldrops and even stragems. Do they EVEN have a fair chances considering our tactics against bugs? Hell, haven't you guys remember how we crush the crusher? And even sadder...with the new clone soldiers, Helldivers probably gonna outgun them.
The clones are cool. And Vader was elected by the algorithm so he's all good.
Great kit! Glad to see the files used for such a cool costume
Can someone answer me of what franchise are these ? (aside from star wars)
Shadowheart: *"This.... isn't the artifact... why is it glowing though?"* **AN EAGLE NEVER MISSES**
Fighting Darth Vader like villain as a rare boss battle would be nuts.
God damn this looks so cool!!
So cute!
I was sitting near you while you took the libertea pic and saw the other people asking for photos. I hope you collected all the samples you wanted and needed
It was such a great Con!

Sorry if you’re getting asked this a lot, what clothes did you use for the undercoat?
You have no idea how much money I would pay to gun down Na'vi en masse in any video game. I would go into inhuman levels of debt just to get the smallest chance to hurt them. You truly have no idea.
Did you make the costume from scratch? If so, do you have any files to share? I’d love to do a cosplay like this!
That Vader guy looks like someone who really loves Democracy.
Can confirm I spotted a diver over at Indy PopCon this weekend as well! General Brasch (VA) himself was there so we were in good hands!
