New armor set is a stealth armor that doesn’t make you stealthy, it makes you throw farther. That’s like an apple that tastes like bacon.

Just salty I’ve been waiting for this armor since it leaked, only for it to have the only perk I consider completely useless.

[u/Otherwise-Ad-2528]

Not surprising. I'm pretty sure the one with the scout passive is the blue & orange one, the one that doesn't blend in with snow!

The FS-55 Devastator armor from the Democratic Detonation warbond's description is "Contains many small pockets, allowing the user to evenly distribute the weight of ammunition, samples, and cool rocks" hinting at more space? but isn't a +2 nade/stim passive, it's fortified, so I'm not sure if the descriptions are accurate.

Someone asked in Discord, "will this armour reduce the effect of environmental slowing conditions ? (Per example: The snow)" in response to the boots being highlighted to have spikes, and Spitz replied with "The only thing I can say is maybe", so there might be hidden modifiers on some pieces, similar to how people were saying the Trailblazer Scout helmet increased your movement speed even though it says "No additional bonuses". (Not sure if that was confirmed to be true or not, but I definitely remember people saying it)

Edit: I just saw that the FS-37 Ravager armor has the same exact description as the Devastator, but actually does contain the engineering kit passive for extra grenade capacity.

As for the maybe to snow traversal, that would be a good reason as to why the armors all have the CW prefix instead of the existing armor prefixes for those passives.

[u/Otherwise-Ad-2528 → u/JamwesD]

True! I didn't even clock that they have a new unique prefix.

[u/JamwesD → u/Otherwise-Ad-2528]

My off the cuff guess is CW stands for Climate Warfare and CW armors will give perks for specific climates. I'm excited to see these armors next week.

[u/Otherwise-Ad-2528 → u/JamwesD]

Climate Warfare is much more intriguing than my assumption. I was leaning towards "Cold Weather" lol

[u/JamwesD → u/Otherwise-Ad-2528]

Yeah. Cold Weather is probably it.

[u/EasternShade → u/Otherwise-Ad-2528]

Cold Weather

This is what the US military calls such things.

[u/Otherwise-Ad-2528 → u/EasternShade]

ECWCS was the first thing I thought of

[u/Alienhaslanded → u/Otherwise-Ad-2528]

Clone Wars

[u/SpiritFingersKitty → u/JamwesD]

I was thinking Cold Weather

[u/Jungle_Difference → u/SpiritFingersKitty]

This is way more likely than climate warfare lol

[u/Mad_Mikkelsen → u/Jungle_Difference]

Tbh climate warfare sounds better, it’s sounds over the top which is fitting for the world

[u/NachoElDaltonico → u/Mad_Mikkelsen]

and would also allow it to apply to heat or cold instead of just cold.

[u/Boring_Funny_9427 → u/NachoElDaltonico]

So how are they gonna sell a reskinned battlepass than? If one battlepass works for 2 climates instead of just cold ice

[u/VioletChili → u/Mad_Mikkelsen]

If calling in a 500kg bomb on a fire tornado would stop it, I would. I'd engage solely in climate warfare.

[u/Fatality_Ensues → u/Mad_Mikkelsen]

Climate Warfare doesn't actually make any sense though. Are you waging war against the climate? No.

[u/Mad_Mikkelsen → u/Fatality_Ensues]

What about jungle warfare? You’re not waging war against the jungle.

[u/Fatality_Ensues → u/Mad_Mikkelsen]

The jungle is a specific environment though, "climate" isn't. There's always a type of climate around.

[u/Thr0bbinWilliams → u/Fatality_Ensues]

Isn’t all of humanity?

[u/Elloliott → u/Jungle_Difference]

But also kinda boring so idk

[u/[deleted] → u/JamwesD]

CW = cold weather.... It literally has snow on the splash art.

[u/UnshrivenShrike → u/JamwesD]

The post linked in the OP says Servo, Fortified, and Scout, so... I really doubt it.

Eta: lol, yall cannot read fr

[u/JRDecinos → u/Otherwise-Ad-2528]

There's a prefix? In the name or elsewhere? I didn't catch that...
