Full Helldivers 2 Cosplay Tutorial - The Freedom Dispenser

[@YTFryingPan]

Can we all agree that we desperately need them to mass produce this suit so we can make a legion of Helldivers FOR DEMOCRACY

[@wrench6695]

FOR SUPER EARTH !!!

[@simon_lifer]

That's what I was thinking!

[@GREATPOWER235]

Already making my own hoping on this upcoming event im going to has some fellow divers

[@Pin-Point-Operations]

Seriously I’d pay out the ass for this

[@bryanlanfranco7101]

FOR DEMOCRACY

[@Trip473]

I love how "canonically" you can mix and match all the gear so we can just make whatever we want! Love it!

[@johndank2209]

yeah, but most people probably won't recognize what you are cosplaying as.

[@amtra1778]

@@johndank2209 doesn't matter too much; actual players will recognize you and I doubt most people will know helldivers well. most will probably ask if you're from star wars.

[@Miraak0Konahrik]

Im currently in the process of building a cosplay with the regular armor as a base, trailblazer helmet and ill modify it even further to look like a "veteran" helldiver of sorts with lots of adaptations to make fighting the enemies of super earth even more streamlined.

[@jojojoppie]

I'm currently combining the light gunner helmet with the original armor for a cosplay. Indeed very nice to be that free with something that is actually game accurate haha

[@Miraak0Konahrik]

@@jojojoppie Love to hear others who are making something other than just full standard armor :) I only now got finished printing all the parts on my tiny printer now its onto the SMG and senator.

[@SomberEngage]

I literally bought a 3d printer just to start building a helldivers cosplay. This guide is a Godsend. Thank you!

[@unloyal4847]

May yours turn up well! For managed democracy diver!

[@W3LSHDR4G0]

about to do the same! Been meaning to for a while but this did it for me ahah

[@soulsafe]

Same! It'd cost less at this point to let them make it for me, but I shall forge on!

[@sw-gs]

I really want to see a high budget movie like Starship Troopers set in Helldivers universe.

[@drdickqueso]

You can it’s called starship troopers 😂 also you will never have another big budget studio director like Paul Ver Hoven again so don’t count on any movie adaptations being worth a damn.

[@amtra1778]

@@drdickqueso There are a great amount of video game adaptations these days due to the generation that grew up with gaming are, well, grown up and are in the industry themselves. It's also very marketable; democracy vs giant bug aliens and terminators? Those definitely have been big box office hits.

[@drdickqueso]

@@amtra1778 and if that happens you can consider the game ruined once it becomes mainstream. Not everything needs Hollywood to ruin it.

[@sw-gs]

@@drdickqueso Well Fallout wasn't so your point is invalid.

[@drdickqueso]

@@sw-gs oh just give it time. It will be ran into the ground like everything else. Also one sorta okay show with one season from Amazon is not a good measure for the endless crap adaptations from Hollywood for the last few decades. Pretty sure my point is valid.

[@lenorelestrange]

The stratigem was so relatable.

[@justtheitguy]

Calling in a hellbomb on a detector tower and it rolls down a mountain

[@Pottan23]

that sentry stratagem that lands perfectly on a cliff, bounces off and rolls into a pit

[@jimmyphantom5572]

Yes refuse to stick at the spot you aiming 😂

[@jamesobrien-b7y]

as an Irish man your required to build up a squads worth of armour and attend dragon con in that getup. seriously good work. greetings from Dublin Ireland

[@HowlingSpirit]

Some buddies and myself are planning to make our first cosplay set. Already got the 3D models from you guys. The idea was kind of daunting but this video gives some much needed insight into the process. Thanks to all you guys for this astounding tutorial!

[@nifflergaming8922]

Same, my squad and i are going to build them for gamescom

[@HowlingSpirit]

@@nifflergaming8922 good luck to you guys, may democracy bless you with prosperity!

[@ravendevino6419]

Same here! I'm in the process of making TWO for me and my partner

[@PabloEstebean]

Biggest thing I can recommend for group cosplays, is everyone works on their own stuff, together. Speaking from experience doing an ODST build with a 6 man group, taking it all on yourself when there’s scheduling conflicts is brutal. Absolutely brutal. Even if they’re not into cosplay crafting, it’s a great time to teach and do together. But taking it on yourself will drain you. It ended up working out, but… just trust me.

[@GSC-Operator-chan]

No joke i bought your plans for the B-01 armor and liberator like 3 weeks ago, ended up getting the autocannon too. Crazy that i see this pop up in my feed too.

[@chalex_tsrench692]

The fact that you are so comfortable and are able to freely move around in the cosplay says a lot about your guys' great craftmanship and how well they thought out the design of the armor in the game. (Or im just overthinking everything 🙃)

[@MxchiefMaykr]

I was already about to start on my own Helldiver costume this week, this is perfect timing!

[@kevinsorenson7684]

Very happy to have provided a tiny bit to this kit!

[@offearth3d]

I've been sitting down for years, lol! Can't wait to see all the Helldivers at Dragoncon!

[@BinaryHe1ix]

This couldn't have been timed any better. I got your armor files a week or two ago and have been working on printing it and an autocannon for Dragoncon this year. Was especially stuck on what to use for the undergarments so I'm so glad you linked the BDU that you used, I've been searching for something that works well for days! Thanks for all the hard work and great products!

[@crispy_338]

I’ve found with more professional builds the soft goods elevate it massively. Well done boys. It looks incredible

[@kw3485]

I'm printing the armor set you guys made as we speak and I was looking on how to assemble and saw this. This is a godsend! Thanks!

[@TheBrickSquad11]

You could put a weight in the bottom of the stratagem beacon so the light always points up

[@WildmanTrading]

Hhhmmmmm that seems interesting.

[@metalgear6531]

I just printed mine with a denser infill on the bottom half than the top half. Does the trick nicely!

[@kaiengrail]

This is perfect timing for this to come out my wife and I planned on making a couple sets of the B0-1 (She'd prefer the trailblazer scout armor but we haven't found anything for that yet) for a con and this will greatly help with figuring this out. It will be our first time doing armor.

[@ismailashraf7745]

This doesn't happen yo be the excel con on London is it?

[@thatinternetguyj5222]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bought this suit for myself and 2 for my daughter. She loves it and is the coolest kid at school now!

[@turpskadey]

Will say in addition to using PLA filament and a wood burner or soldering iron to "weld" pieces, I picked up a plastic welder that can heat up metal staples of various shapes to be pressed in on the back after gluing to reinforce the joins.

[@protonjones54]

wow that actually looks super accurate, and dope as hell, well done lads

[@chocolatedonuts18]

It'd be awesome if we saw power armor from the newer fallouts or even the older ones get made, you got some real talent man.

[@powerglover2021]

I have the helmet and chest piece printed so far. These files are awesome! I hope to see you guys on the front lines! For democracy!!

[@ravioli6301]

How long did it take to print these? I'm looking to maybe print it in the future myself.

[@ramenflavoredcats]

@@ravioli6301 It depends on your printer and the material

[@Keeriijra]

This is awesome. My favorite armor from the game is the base, I absolutely love it. Fantastic work!

[@NativeTrooper976]

This armor is amazing and I still cant wait to see what Galactic Armory creates next!!❤

[@jayniir-pd8jl]

Thank you so much!!! I’m making my own Helldivers cosplay out of EVA foam and it’s been such a pain in the ass trying to figure out how to make some of the stuff underneath the armor, but you guys did it so well!!

[@spieagentl]

Thank you very much for sharing this tutorial! I'm currently printing out my Liberator and will work on the armor set next, but I've been thinking about how to do the cape and flight suit until now. May your citizenship class improve with the sharing of this information!

[@Darklydreamingdavid]

Anything.: Chris.: yesssssss Awesome work guys it’s a masterpiece

[@chomp7927]

Just bought the raw cast! You guys do great work! 🫡

[@entityuntombed]

AMAZING! I think I can have this done for NYCC :)

[@pointbreakstudios6437]

Also with smoothing your armor motip spray putty fills it nicely and is easily sanded

[@RamenEnjoyer404]

I love how you watch the WAN show while you work on your cosplay!

[@GooiYingChyi]

I think this is the first full on cosplay. Well done.

[@EverythingNerdifying]

Def making my own for Dragon Con. See you all there, Helldivers!

How I've waited for this one!! 😎

[@susdroid8169]

Man this is awesome, finally someone is doing something this awesome!

[@bannablitz247]

The best weathering advice I have ever heard was from Adam Savage and he said, Get it too dirty and then clean it as best as you can.

[@arkokromenker3203]

Good video. I'm already in progress of making scout set, tomorrow will finish printing helmet. Armor on the way

[@TheMegamaster44]

So we can all agree that there is gonna be a new group to find at conventions

[@Suren0]

Man this already looked great in the reddit shots, it looks even BETTER in movement! Amazing

[@aqueousdog]

Links to soft goods are much appreciated!

[@deathangelo82]

I've bought several STL files from you. They are amazing!

[@TheAngryOnion]

Hell yeah, I'm working on mine right now. I am working to get the base costume done for anime central next month. I plan to program a pad on the tacpad piece, that accepts hand swipes, if successful, it will trigger the strategem ball to light up to that type of strategem (blue or red).

[@wonkatar2813]

im gonna use a little bit of this for attaching my ODST armor pieces

[@GREATPOWER235]

our fellow comrades are porud of u helldiver we salute to you!

[@Jex124]

Very cool, I picked up a sample container 3d model from BigFredsCustoms as well.

[@Mr.Magic0909]

you know a cool model that would be so difficult but so cool, power armor. I cant imagine the quality if galactic armory were to make this

[@doodle548]

A helldiver squad with different loadouts and armor for each would be incredibly time consuming… yet badass

[@AngelOfChaos56]

My family and I are all going as Helldivers to comic con next year. Slightly breaking canon, as there are 6 of us.. and we're all wearing different armor (except there will be two variations of B-01). And hubby and I are doing all the printing. Big project!

[@Mr_Skeletal]

28:09 this looks straight out of the game, well done!!!

[@PretzelistGames]

I love how the stratagem took a fat load of freedom

[@halo.animations1330]

Wow! That got done quickly

[@Griffins998]

FREEDOM NEVER SLEEPS! The ministry of truth approves of this video. Good job divers, we commend you for your work.

[@GeoFry3]

Pretty accurate on the strategem bounce.

[@Blah1007]

Just got my order! Gotta get to work to be ready for dragon con

[@dragonknight951]

I just knew that stratagem beacon was gonna roll right back to him the instant I saw him readying a throw... Classic.

[@Puzpo]

Daaaaaaam. Even the folds on the lens

[@lucasbrackin7700]

I’ll be at Dragoncon this year as well. Maybe I’ll make one of these and find y’all?

[@Kanji_38]

This cosplay is tight! Most cosplay look bulky or out of proportion but this looks well designed and really well fitting. Well done!!!

[@Hawks_2061]

This is amazing, i wanna wear this on halloween

[@simpleplan32230]

For the life of me, I really wish you guys had an option to buy the suit painted and finished. I would’ve easily dropped an extra grand. Especially with the quality and effort shown in this video. My order arrived a couple weeks late and now I’m currently rushing to have my amateur skills get it ready in time for a convention.

[@Etranck]

Looks awesome! Just wondering, how would I do the foam for the arm and leg pieces?

[@seanc8924]

I'd love a more in depth look at how the torso is all constructed. Is the front and back hard connected at the shoulders or are they strapped together? How is the cape mounted in there? How about the sides of the torso?

[@rapache1]

Thank you for posting

[@oseansoldier]

Any ETA on restock? I need to get this in my life. No seriously, the Democracy Officer is holding a Senator to my head.

[@AENock]

22:49 it took 1-2 competent squires to don and doff a knight's armor. Nothing to be ashamed of! It's a time-honored tradition!

[@lucaseichler3140]

I've been searching etsy for the setup that i use in-game, and so far the only physical items i've found for purchase are: My helmet (One of) my sidearms My grenades I've also found stl files for: One of my equipped stratagems My primary I may end up giving in and just getting myself a consistent armour set.

[@CoryDAnimates]

Glorious victory

[@PH0EN1XD]

I will make this for myself too, lets goo.

[@marvelbeatsdc8764]

To aid in being able to put stuff on solo, have you considered a strip or Velcro? For example where the foam is on the shin. Hold it in place for you to be able to do the buckles. Looks awesome :D

[@LukeZXL]

God I wish I had money to buy the diy kit!! UGGHHH I WANT IT SO BAD

[@TheAwesomeCoolDude]

Another victory for the right side of history!

[@michaeldixon2178]

One question I have is did you guys just rigidly glue all side pieces of the chestplate together as well as the front and back? Or did you glue it together with elesastic or something similar? Also what foam did you guys use EVA?

[@kingofgames259]

Intro was top notch 👌

[@aflyingman5751]

that is so cool!! i want one right now

[@grayson639]

Amazing job you guys 😆

[@jon08182]

I wanna buy a set! Omg

[@johnrodriguez-boggs9159]

Hey I plan on making the cape but want to make it a fur cape like the cape Kratos has from god of war ragnarok (making a god of war HellDiver armor) but not sure how I should make it look like fur. Any recommendations or tips?

[@hobojoe357]

Just a suggestion, but instead of metal rods between each part, maybe you could have versions with square holes and an stl for a square peg we could just print on its side. That would just make one less part to buy and worry about as well as costing just pennies worth of filament.

[@calbrown5355]

How much cloth did you use for the cape, so I know how much to buy? Also are you guys able to provide paper stencils for cutting the foam parts?

[@jeroenthelord]

Would you guys please consider posting detailed pictures of the strapping and soft parts. Not even a seperate vid, but pictures to see all the parts inside and out

[@mangofanta2667]

For us divers who don't have access to expensive chemicals, space and a workshop, what corners can you cut to make the armour "good enough". Every time I look at learning cosplay there's always so much money required to start it seems. I don't want a perfect costume, just something that's achievable and affordable for someone with no workshop and a very tight budget.

[@warwolf1384]

It takes time. Set aside money to get started. Save up for a good printer or enough materials to make your build.

[@topaxx101]

Many useful tips, thank you

[@BCY]

I may have to try Cospla version A because version B was a nightmare to print. Whatever they did to it made it really hard to extrude even for my Voron. I just went back to ABS.

[@Teomaniac]

Looks amazing

[@Fusorf]

printing it as we speak, see you on the battlefield boys

[@Ethan1193]

I love that he's watching the wan show while working as I do the exact same thing.

[@thedovalord3320]

what type of foam did you use?

it would be sick if we could buy the completed armor on a site and have it delivered :>

[@lonewolfgaming657]

been looking for trailblazer armor

[@slayherorelse]

Really really loving this armor. The only problem I am having with this is...since I have large chest size, wearing this armor would mean squeezing it too hard :( Would be really too much to ask to create a feminine armor version...so for now, I'll just make do with the helmet and gun.

[@Sajasta]

Oh god, I just had an idea! Can you make the opening video of Helldivers? you know, the "Join the Helldivers"?

[@GalacticArmory]

Check out our helmet tutorial video! 😉
