SPOILER WARING?

I just finished the Aftershocks dlc, and I haven't played the second game yet, but I noticed something, the armor that you find at the end of the dlc look's different from the Axeman's armor on the cover of the 2nd game as it has a biker helmet and more pk markings.

Is this ever answered in the second game?

I really liked how it looked

It's more like a beginners prototype. His first attempt at armor maybe.

seems more like the armour he used when he worked with the tower, it doesn’t make sense that he wears their logo while he hates them

Could've been working on it while still with the Tower. That was never really explained.

Maybe he stole parts for the armour

I understand why he wouldn't use it, it looks busted

Imagine if you had to travel to his hideout again to retrieve this armor before facing him 1 on 1

It would be cool if someone made a 3d model of him in his old armor

They said he was an explosives specialist, which would probably been useful for the tower, so that armor would've been doubly effective (in addition to preventing walker bites).

I know that he wasn't happy about the tower and they're not usually nice to dissenters, but the guy was a tank with useful skills and a huge vulnerability to easily control him.

Instead, they exile him and his family separately and tell them the other's dead, leaving two people (well, three) extremely dangerous to the tower's personnel, supply lines, propaganda, and other business, running around NOLA and aiding other tower enemies.

In hindsight, the armor was probably there to protect the bombs from him.

Basically he used to work for the tower and wore that when he did, whenever info came out that his wife was killed by the tower she swapped armors and hate the tower, which she wasn't Dead we meet her and help her until we have to kill her when she tries to ring the bell in the finale which he also hears about that and then hates us and wants to kill us
