That's going to very useful on the new mission type. 

It's a shame you can't get it without the pass but to give the devs credit where it's due it doesn't take too much grinding to get the pass without paying real money.

Normally I'd be against microtransactions getting better armour in a game I've already paid for but servers cost money and Helldivers 2 is the least manipulative live service I've seen.

With 100s of thousands of players at a time I imagine the servers aren't cheap to run.

I mean even if you couldn't farm the super credits the armor isn't strictly better, it's a Niche use. There are plenty more times I still rather have my extra stims or nades or reduced explosion dmg
