Choosing Gear for the Assault Role
Assault players lead the charge. You need apparel that can take a beating and keep you cool under fire. I've tested several hoodies and tees designed for heavy use.The Assault Heavy Hoodie
This is the backbone of any assault loadout. Made from 400 GSM fleece with double-stitched seams, it holds up to constant movement. The front pouch is sized to hold a phone, snacks, and a Stratagem card deck. I've worn mine through six-hour sessions and the fabric still breathes well.- Material: 80% cotton, 20% polyester - durable but soft
- Features: Hidden zippered pocket for keys or ID
- Fit: True to size with room for layering
If you prefer a lighter option, the Assault Racer Tee uses a tri-blend fabric (50% polyester, 25% cotton, 25% rayon) that wicks sweat faster. It's ideal for warmer climates or indoor LAN parties. Both designs feature the iconic Helldivers 2 eagle logo on the chest.
Support Role Apparel for Long Sessions
Support players hold the line. You're often stationary or moving slowly, so comfort and utility are key. Look for gear with lots of pockets and breathable panels.The Support Tactical Vest
This is not a cosplay piece - it's a functional vest with MOLLE webbing for patches and pouches. The mesh back panel prevents overheating during extended play. I added a water bottle holder and a small utility pouch for my earbuds.The Support Jogger Pants
Pair the vest with our Support Jogger Pants. They have elastic cuffs that stay put, a drawstring waist, and two deep side pockets. The fabric is a cotton-polyester blend with a bit of spandex for stretch. I've worn them for eight-hour streams with no discomfort.- Fabric: 65% polyester, 30% cotton, 5% spandex
- Pockets: 2 front, 1 back, 1 cargo with velcro flap
- Price: $45 - $55
Scout Gear for Speed and Mobility
Scout players need to move fast and stay quiet. Your apparel should be lightweight and minimal. Avoid bulky hoodies that catch on doorframes.The Scout Light Tee
This tee uses a polyester-spandex blend that feels like a second skin. It dries in minutes if you sweat and won't ride up during action. The print is a distressed tactical map of Super Earth - subtle but on-brand.Performance Compression Sleeves
Not just for show: compression sleeves reduce arm fatigue during long aiming sessions. Our sleeves are made with copper-infused fabric and have a non-slip silicone band at the top. They come in black or olive drab.- Weight: 4 oz for the tee, 2 oz per sleeve
- Best for: Warm environments or high-intensity movement
- Price: Tee $30 - $35, sleeves $15 - $20
Medic and Utility Role Accessories
Medics and utility players rely on gear that keeps supplies organized. Small accessories make a huge difference.The Medic Side Bag
This bag attaches to your belt or strap and holds a phone, power bank, and small first aid kit. The main compartment has a padded divider, and the front flap closes with a silent magnetic snap. Perfect for keeping your meds or snacks within reach.Stratagem Keychain Tags
These metal tags replicate the Stratagem codes from the game. They're made from zinc alloy with enamel fill. Each tag has a jump ring for attachment. Use them on zippers, bags, or as a quick reference during missions.- Side bag dimensions: 8" x 5" x 2"
- Keychain set: 5 unique tags per pack
- Price: Side bag $40 - $50, keychain set $12 - $15
Build Your Squad's Look with Class-Inspired Merch
Coordinating with your squad? Mix and match pieces from each category to create a unified team aesthetic. I recommend the Squad Bundle - it includes one item from each role for 10% off. You can even add custom patches to the Support Tactical Vest.Squad Coordination Ideas
- Assault Lead: Heavy Hoodie + cargo pants
- Support Anchor: Tactical Vest + Jogger Pants
- Scout Flanker: Light Tee + compression sleeves

This setup covers all bases during missions and makes your squad instantly recognizable at meetups.

It runs true to size. If you prefer a looser fit for layering, size up. The cotton-polyester blend shrinks slightly on first wash, so consider that.Are the Scout Tees see-through?
No. The tri-blend fabric is 50% polyester, 25% cotton, 25% rayon at 5 oz weight. It's lightweight but opaque.Can I wash the Support Tactical Vest in a machine?
Yes, but remove any detachable pouches first. Use cold water and hang dry to preserve the MOLLE webbing and print.Do the Stratagem Keychain Tags have real function?
They're decorative, but I've seen players use them as quiet fidget toys during tense matches. They're also good for identifying your bag in a crowd.How long does shipping take?
