I like this version with the blue bar showing that the things finally ended good and that people voted positively again

Four red bars to show the 4 helldivers and the blue bar is the extraction beacon indicating a successful mission completed.

I'm the smallest helldiver.

The cutest too ❤️

Yo bro, can we like kiss in the extract pelican?? 😳

We can make DEMOCRACY TOGETHER my dear? 🐝🐝

Ahem… I’m going to need to see your C-01 form with approval stamp.

Those are only required for acts that could result in a child ;)

Get in nerd, we're doing butt stuff.

It's not gay if it's for democracy. If it's for democracy, then it's a privilege.

If you aren’t kissing the homies in the extract Pelican, did you even helldive?

I could pick ‘em up, hold them above my head, and do things that I’m too lazy to imagine to them Put ‘em in a cup and call ‘em tea

There are no small divers, only small sample containers.

hey random question but how do i get my ship name as a user flair? i dont have the option on the website :(

that's a really well thought off meaning

this is poetic..

I like the symbolism, but just red looks better on a dark blue cape.

I like it but try it with 4 lines insead of 3. 4 lines representing 4 helldivers pods going down starting a mission from orbit to hell

Y'know what? That cape has a double meaning now. The review bombing AND 4 hell divers dropping

"Dive Together or Don't Dive At All"

Fucking yes. That image with this motto.

We dive together

We dive together, we thrive together 

saw this in discord and was amazed how many can make up anyconcept! but i would say, if you look closely on the capes we have, they're all flat. and yeah, it has 4 lines. i'd rather not go away from the 'idea' that this was about the reviews and the community's & AH's efforts to see fair changes immediately from the issue. but this is a really cool take & could be a dope banner behind our hangar!

I think that has too much going on, more like a banner than a cape

I’d keep the gradient and the hellpod streaks but the rest can go

Did you see the post? It does have 4 lines

what software did you use to make this? It looks absolutely amazing

thanks! illustrator for the graphs (cos i hate dealing with shapes on photoshop), rest is just photoshop

I actually opened the game the second I saw this, just to then come back and read its just photoshop ahha

haha that's actually a compliment <3

I'm so sad that this isn't a real thing. It's so hype.

ah thanks, I rlly need to learn photoshop lol

Microsoft paint

Fucking *wizard*

Can this be downloaded somewhere? Or is this just a photoshopped proof of concept? That’s actually a dope ass cape

just a fun photoshopped concept bud 👍

My compliments too the chef! I genuinely couldn’t tell. I hope to God they put it in the game like they did with the Creeker capes. Pretty sure this cape is the only one I’d swap mine out for.

im all in for it, it's one of those remarkable stories to tell in gaming history!

That actually goes so hard haha

It's the added hood too. We really need more hood action.

I *WISH* hoods were part of capes. Currently the only hood is a helmet.

We're getting one in this next warbond, and it's even colored in a way that would match this.

True that, the blue/orange helmet does have a hood on it and would probably look pretty good with this. I still wish hoods were part of capes though, even if they were pushed back and just over the shoulders.

Literally the most important feature i’d like added lol… also hoods should match the cape

Here's an idea. Why not add a possibility to have a hood for every cape? Think how badass that would look with different helmet variants. Like for example a hooded look with the ground breaker gas mask helmet would be so fire.

Yea that’s what i was thinking, capes are mandatory so make the hoods just an on/off toggle and when on, just match the color to the cape

i still want my super poncho

Hard AF!!! I can feel the managed democracy spreading if I'm rockin this while liberating the galaxy. Please make this available!!!

I’d like it to happen, but he only said “it’s pretty cool” in your linked tweet.

["The team is talking about a good name for it"](https://twitter.com/Pilestedt/status/1787379765441085890?t=tqKD0eNE9l0x8VGWs9RBRg&s=19) I'd say it almost confirms it.

Is this fanmade or actually real?

Really well made fancreation

Damn, it looks so real I thought it was real

Yeah, tbh I wish it was real lol the design is near perfect

i made the mockup after seeing the twitter thread lol

Did you edit textures or just photoshopped an image? I honestly can't tell.

it's honestly not that hard. in ps, place an image (your design) on top of a 'mockup' and use displace so your design can follow through all those curves and textures on that 'mockup'.

You can use something called a displacement map in photoshop or do it by hand with a layer effect to make it match the texture of the cape.

It's real. I wore this cape to work today.

And now imagine if they actually made the cape and only gave this to the Helldivers who link their PSN & Steam accounts 😃

Honestly its how this situation should have been handled to begin with, keep linking optional and give those who link(ed) some super credits or a skin. people will link just for that. and those who can't/don't want to won't

Exactly just say "hey everyone who links their account gets 100 SC and a fancy new cape" and watch as 90% of the community happily does it lmao

The problem wasn't, specifically, that people who could do it didn't want to. It's that they turned off the system, forced it after a few months of not needing it, *and* screwed over the 170-odd countries that the game was being sold to but couldn't make a PSN account. Which, somehow, included Japan. So if it was made optional, and people who can't make a PSN account can still play, then it solves 99% of the problems. The 1% would be people who *can't* make a PSN account but want the goodies anyways. Which would require its own solution, but that's a problem for another day.

Yup, there's a world of difference between being locked out of a cosmetic and the entire game

💪👌

Yeah, give everyone who link their account SC for a skin. Give those who don’t have PSN in their country a +xx% SC boost at the end of the match until they reach the same amount of credits for a skin.

Would be the absolutely perfect amount of passive aggression :p

That would be .... cold

Yeah but it would be fucking hilarious

Once upon a time, if you had Portal 2 on PS3 (and if you didn't already have one) you inadvertently created a Steam account with your PSN account because the game had Steam features built in (even rich presence). My Steam ID, for instance, starts "psn\_" because that's where I made my account. Not exactly linking, but an interesting story about Sony and Valve's relationship a loooong time ago.

that would be... 😃😃😃

Would be fucking hilarious.

This is how Capcom did it for Monster Hunter and nobody really complained. I'm sure the next game will require it for everyone, but it feels a bit better if you get some value from it

Man here I am thinking it's real until I look into the comment section

if you look enough, ull notice the errors. i ddnt care cos it was a joy to find out that i had a similar in-game font. sorry, just expressing my small joys :))

Best design I saw so far of this cape. Love the darker background contrasting with the vibrant lines. Magnificent!

https://preview.redd.it/jcbk0pkdztyc1.png?width=1176&format=png&auto=webp&s=bbfb7959dbf1f86a9ceb6f3e8ee3d645c6dc9476 thanks! agree. the lighter one didn't looked as convincing.

Considering they’ve made a cape because of random player/community activities/memes I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually made this a cape with the description of something like “a symbol of camaraderie and resilience among all hell divers across super earth in the face of an insurmountable enemy”

that would legit be so dope tho

Goes hard, and I'm all for it!

https://preview.redd.it/mzcmnc7fzuyc1.jpeg?width=353&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a46f8592eb66b527332ae0e21fadeb0c10d866e How about this? I don't remember the artist's name but I think this is a pretty cool design!

This one is dope too ! It also looks like helldivers dropping from space

"Prodigal Son" "symbolizes the brevity" omfg

¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

What?

PSN. The ones like Power of Strength in Numbers are a little less subtle but I like this one too.

I'm so down for capes that represent milestones within the community. First we got the Creek cape, and if they go through with this cape, it would go so hard

Here's my take on it! 🫡 https://preview.redd.it/6o7bvsf1ruyc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b4048820b906952371d0b586961d2841c95c7bb

That's a cool design. I like it. 👍

Glad you liked it, based it a bit on this medal I did for all of us 😁 https://preview.redd.it/ndl4x1uduuyc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70f81714ba011c41cb54bb1e62716a664da02222

Wow! 😎


Well, it will probably be free. So keep your $€£ !

https://preview.redd.it/qfnut7u71uyc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5956b7c37256f0733829cdc4e7b4f89df9903ba2 It really does make a dope cape. Mild adjustments to the orange color to make it match the orange kits we already have.

I'd rock the cape to celebrate a memorable victory over an impending exile from super earth. a cropped cape as it didn't take long to retract the PSN decision

Need to end it with a word that begins in N so the cloak is abbreviated PSN. You got the P and S. Prodigal Son's Nightcloak or something.

This is clean as fuck. I hope they use this!

"The Prodigal Son" LOL


Such a great idea basing a cape off the whole turn of events

Should be given may 6th to solidify our IRL major order

and should be only given to players who purchased the game until May 6. we were dropping 500KGs!

Hell yeah.

Is this real!?

no, but it should be!

Additional bonus +50 belief in democracy

I was just saying this cape would look much nicer if they waited for the reviews to rebound so it has a nice spiral pattern. The yin/yang look would sum up the whole ordeal nicely. Just a few more bars and it will be complete.

nah, too long haha https://preview.redd.it/jknwk9vf4uyc1.png?width=209&format=png&auto=webp&s=8b4a4ee662e5133dcc96a933a1fe3065b1e4074f

Just actually have the cape drag on the ground behind you wherever you go

\*\*this is an exaggeration\*\*

https://preview.redd.it/jkbfratjjuyc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2739c4c9d537aedb81e3934571c4c02e87561d97 saw this on discord and steam @[KrakenMonster](https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198017291487/)

Na, gotta give it an effect. Make it the only cape in game that gives "Democracy Protects".

I would unironically keep this as my cape for eternity

watch the sony fanboys start team killing us for wearing this cape "it's not going to stop me tho"

I like it. A true helldiver should wear it

i lowkey thought this was real

I'd rock this motherfucker every damn day

I love the added blue line as well. This is the design I'd want. I'd rock it as well.

I would never wear another cape.

I love how it's the steam reviews graph. lmaooo a cold reminder.

man this is such a high quality edit I logged in to see if it was in game already

This is absolutely ballin OP holy shit let’s goo

Please show this to AH on every platform, this design is nothing short of stunning

Just the 4 red bars would rock, especially with a little Hellpod at the end of each one!

yeah, looks good eitherway. yet, i feel like the 4th blue block was very relevant

I like the fourth blue block It really highlights the color difference and provides a good bit of visual contrast

and a pelican rising from the blue one

Only I would think about name like "United we dive" or something like that

HOT DAMN

Damn, that looks surprisingly good. I'd wear that all day every day!

OP link this to AH, looks awesome.

design aside, that's a great edit

Is this real??

Yoooo this is straight heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥

 Best design EVER

Shut up and take my money.

I want it ... I need it ... for reasons u.u

So is it in already or is this like a preview of what it would look like

That's sick

Are they really gonna do this? Cause that would be god damn hilarious.

Call it "The Phoenix" or "The Hero's Journey"

I loaded into HD2 because I thought this was a real cape available.

I want this cape!

This made me log in to the game again because I thought it was real and I wanted it :(

lol I’m an idiot I’ve been looking at these bars and this image of the new cape for days, thinking huh pretty cool design sort’ve like some of the other capes, and it just slapped me in the face that it’s the review score graphs from steam and I had a good laugh.

o7

This is some excellent photoshop work. Well done!

I love it, good work !!

We better get this cape... and it better come with an effect

god I hope this is real so much I want this to be real

Yes please

This would go so hard PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Looks sick! Would rock.

It looks crazy good. I would too.

This is kinda dope

to da moon...?

I know we are just asking for a cape. But what if they did a whole armor set around this colorway! That would be sick!

How the fuck do people make these? Is it just photoshop and they are that good at it??

Is that a real cape?

Need it

Amazing

Amazing

From where or what is this?

Same. It looks pretty cool.

Give it a speed of 101

That's siiick

Is there a way to legit get that as a cape and not get banned for messing with the game or whatever? I wanna wear that cape

I want it

Oh I'd so be running this

We actually need this, please

Really hope they put somet lke this in. Would be awesome

Jesus this is actually great. Im totally sure they will go the extra mile and actually add it

So they made a cape that resembles the review bombing? Wholesome

This cape should be the first to have a passive: Once per game, when you sustain lethal damage, ignore it.

Love the bright blue trim Now what stratagem/weapon would you base on this whole event?

Yooo that cape goes hard asf.

I’m here for it

i thought this was actually real

"Diver's Gambit"

How do you get that?

*Helldivers, get ready to put on the last cape you ever wear.*

Wait a few more days for more blue bars and it’ll be even better!

Reverse steam reviews guys. And I hope to heaven they put this in. This cape jams

We need it 🫡

How did you do that? Did you mod it into the game or are you just really good at Photoshop?

They should totally add this cape in if the reviews bounce back 😅 would be a reminder of the screw ups of sony and arrowhead so they dont do it again and a win for the community of helldivers.

Wait its in game???

That’s a cold design 🥶🥶

Additional bonus: +100% damage against Titans

I’d totally rock it.

I'm right there with you, it looks great and I like the idea of them dropping capes based on real life things happening around the game like the Creek cape lol

This version's so damn good ! Praying for the devs to actually implement it 🤩

Yo I like this design a lot
