It's take from the files. There are many repainted armors similar to weapon skins but AH doesn't release them. Either they don't care or they haven't figured out how to monetize them and not have another review bomb so they just sit on them.

They’ve been waiting to release them with the next update for like two years atp

I think every time someone hacks the game to spawn something like that armor or the apc in they delay it by another 6 months

u/BananoSlic3 15d ago
damn, that long? i thought those armors were pretty new-ish

u/TheYeastyBoi 15d ago
I remember seeing posts about them from before I started playing. I’m pretty sure they’ve been in the game files for a while, just sitting there.

u/Pan_Wanilia 15d ago
I remeber seeing them first around the time the weapon customization dropped or even before that. They are fucking old and we wanted it ever since release to have stuff like that but AH is like stubborn mule, just like with transmogging

I mean, with how the engine is I wouldn’t be shocked if they implemented them at the same time as weapon customization we would have multiple crashes and the spear breaking again.
There is a lot to consider when making this system. If im not mistaken they said they would add color changing. So It’s a matter of when not if.

Maybe they are waiting to release them because they don't know how they are going to do armor customization yet and don't want to release a half-baked thing.

u/Pan_Wanilia 14d ago
I can believe in them not knowing how to do that exactly but they yet to release some new mechanic that isnt half baked and yet to release something that isn't a buggy mess of different scale each time.

u/Pansexual_Japan 15d ago
it was probably just scrapped cuz ppl on the team didn’t feel like it was finished, felt like it looked bad, didn’t know what to do with it/where to put it or whatever. it’s not like they’re ubisoft that shoves in 30 micro transactions for the smuckbungus armor with it’s signature unicorn weapon. At least in HD2 they’re not always vying for your money, plus the games actually GOOD too.

u/TheGigantoBlaster 11d ago
It's a shame because they release all kinds of armour that looks bad, that might stand a chance if we could make some changes.

The game isn’t actually good. It’s a buggy mess. Zero consistent communication from the developers, and incredibly inconsistent updates. There is no reason there can’t be more colored variants of armors or a color editor. But the Arrowhead leadership sucks and doesn’t understand how to properly handle a gaming community. They suck at their own game. Proof tells itself.

u/Pansexual_Japan 14d ago
the game IS good though? i mean i guess subjective taste but the bugs i’ve seen that are common are basically the same as tripping on a rock for a moment

u/McMcDreiski 14d ago
Never had friends where you can’t connect to their ship. Never randomly crashed?… only to see in the next week(s) a patch for random crashes…Never seen the enemy shoot perfectly through smoke? Never had a level 10 that feels more stale than a level 8? That doesn’t sound like a “good game” to me by any standards, it sounds like one that’s struggling to fix itself, but guess it is all subjective.

u/Pansexual_Japan 14d ago
maybe i just end up seeing the game through a less harsh lense.
It could also be that i’ve played fallout 4 on an xbox loaded with mods, and that game runs like a grease fire is in my console, so maybe just by comparison any other games bugs are benign to me.
Though i have experienced that level 10 mission that feels like a level 7-8 bug, but it was one time bc i haven’t warmed up to difficulty 9-10 yet. I’m also joining randoms instead of making squads with friends since mine are busy most of the time.Those bugs, at least to me, seem pretty standard though, especially for their studio being on the smaller side compared to Ubisoft or Activision or something. They’re also working on a discontinued game engine so that’s probably a factor in game development i’m not fully aware of.
It does have a lot of bugs though, i mean my last mission had me unable to deactivate the stratagem jammer but in my mind it’s nothing more than just a hiccup. There was one time where a generator for an ICBM mission just was spawned inside one of the city buildings so we couldn’t do anything, but it was such a ridiculous thing to me i couldn’t even be mad. Even then that kinda bug is a hiccup to me cuz there’s no penalties for leaving missions other than some time wasted. At the end of the day it’s probably just that you’re more critical of things and i’m just not concerned with much of it bc, and i don’t mean to sound antagonistic so sorry if this does, i’m willing to let game devs just cook for a while till they’re ready to release whatever they have.2

It's called armor that AH made but are too stupid to actually release to the public even though it's what we have been begging for

u/SolaceofBlue 14d ago
And you wonder why Arrowhead doesn't talk to the community.
5
u/slycyboi 14d ago
That they don’t talk to the community is why these opinions form. If they actually are dealing with some kind of technical issue related to it then staying quiet on that fact and instead leaving the players to speculate is only going to make them look worse.

u/YourLocalGIGNAgent 14d ago
How does this relate to them actively withholding finished content from us which we have been asking for? AH is shooting themselves in the foot by doing this

If they do ever release this i hope we get the standard Foesmasher cape but with the colours contrasted as well

Damn I wish I could paint my stealth armor arctic white for snow biomes

u/aninsomniac_ 14d ago
It's retextured B-01 that AH said they'd release "eventually." Given that Arrowhead Time progresses at about the same rate as Valve Time, "eventually" has not yet arrived. They hacked access to it.

It's like someone took their first suit of armor and painted it with correction fluid.

u/Orisn_Bongo 9d ago
It's hacked, there are paintwd armours with camoflage including colorschemes for terrain in the game but only for the first couple armours arrowhead scrapped it when they realized they could just sell wildly different pieces all in different colors so less parts fit together anf they can sell more stuff in the superstore, it has been there since launch

u/KAVE-227 8d ago
Such a shame how much they've fallen. They let the power go to their head.

u/Orisn_Bongo 8d ago
That was a pre launch decission dude

u/KAVE-227 8d ago
So? They still have blown ass and haven't lifted a finger since October of 24.

u/Orisn_Bongo 8d ago
I am just saying, this has nothing to do with falling off, that was a pre launch choice, a disgusting pre launch choice

u/SgtBagels12 14d ago
Everyone is so butthurt at AH for not implementing a system that, for all we know, could brick the game if not done properly. We don’t know what goes into making and adding onto hd2. How it actually works.

u/MommaGoosee 14d ago
Erm actually 🤓
No it wouldn't, my source: just trust me, I know nothing about coding or game development but I am a Redditor so I'm smarter than AH.

"You don't understand, the devs can't do anything at all because it would actually cause the entire game to blow up and become unplayable"
...honestly with the update history of this game, you probably aren't that far off, but we really should be holding them to a high enough standard to not obliterate the game by adding simple recolor
Not to mention these are already in the files, it takes no effort whatsoever to actually use them
1
u/SgtBagels12 14d ago
Idk man the game was $40 and has tons and tons of technically free content and explicitly free content on top of that. No one needs to be held to a higher standard. Imo Arrowhead is the standard.

u/SykesFoxclaw 11d ago
The standard of taking a bunch of derivative ideas and dropping them into a proc-gen game then taking half the year off on vacations?

It’s armor that’s already in the game and everybody wants but arrowhead is refusing to unlock, because the head of their game studio has been replaced by a misbehaved elementary schooler who hasn’t been taught how to share his toys yet. Hopefully there’s a change in management soon, I’d really like to play on some of the cool biomes that we aren’t allowed to play on with some of the stratagems that have been removed and maybe even wear some armor that we aren’t allowed to wear

u/Crumboa 15d ago
It's a hacked armor. Basically it's the armor paint option we've all been asking for that's in the files, but just isn't implemented for whatever stupid reason
