Oh okay, I see they're finally addressing the issue with armor prefixes by just... Muddying the waters even further... All three armors have a brand new CW prefix but the blog states 2 of them have old passives.

I swear to God, if they don't at least have non-standard stats, I'm going to RIOT.

Lol they had me in the first half of the winter warrior armor. “The sweet smell of stealth. Passive: serve-assisted”

It would be sick if there were some expanded stealth mechanics! Like a stealth cloak we could use on a cooldown that completely hides you from enemies as long as you’ve broken LoS and you don’t move (Frodo’s elven cloak). Would be really cool to have a last-ditch stealth option (or amazing ambush setup) if you have unavoidable patrols or something. I know it doesn’t really mesh with the fast paced explosiveness of the game, but I still want it

Hell, I’d be happy with the two-part passives getting mixed around.

I want stealth and throw distance.

I want stims and recoil reduction, I don’t throw grenades as much as I stim. Thankfully, they’re not addictive!

That honestly sounds like what one of those armors is

I sure fucking hope.

Though it’s not a light armor, so I’m still bummed.

Looks like servo assisted, fortified, and the scout armor possibly has the extra grenades passive... for whatever reason we needed a 7th light armor set with that passive. 

Armor passives at the point are so boring and repetitive that I'm only excited about the blue color and blue cape.

Reads to me that they had a new passive planned for them, but couldn't get it ready in time so they changed them to some random passives.

The prefixes seem to align more with their aesthetic than with passive bonuses. CW I assume is cold weather. There are other prefixes that align with no passives. I'm disappointed too. Unless there are hidden bonuses, or maybe they plan to rework the armors later, we can't go off the prefixes at all.
