Helldivers 2 allows players to head into the battlefield in style, thanks to its customization options. However, the feature isn't as extensive as people would expect from other titles. Players are limited to customizing body type and armory. Still, the game provides a range of options for armor and outfit changes.

You can only select from two options under the body type in Helldivers 2. The difference isn't noticeable, but it's still a welcome addition to the customization feature.

Here's how you can change your character's body type in Helldivers 2.
