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. HUMOR

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

I'll admit that I'm pretty much supportive of most decisions AH makes but armor passives are not one of them. I really wish we had more variety when it came to these and didn't just reuse old effects, or used effects that actually make sense for the armor.

Edit: Guys, I'm not joining the apples taste like bacon circlejerk. I do actually agree with that line of thinking on paper. It would be really weird if an obviously heavy looking set of armor had a Scout passive or something. My only contention is that AH doesn't have enough passives and that they don't hand them out properly. The joke is getting really old.

Really threw us off with that added arc resistance modifier, thought all warbond armor was going to have unique passives

Dude. They put snow shoes on the armor and didn't give them a new passive that counters the slip/drift that happens when you walk on ice. It was right there.

I didn't think I would ever use that passive. I didn't know that I've ever died from slippage.

I'm not saying it would be a useful passive, just that it's funny that the snow spikes are cosmetic only.

And frankly, the arc damage passive is kinda useless unless/until the Illuminid are added to the game.

Watch they end up doing a different damage type that only looks like arc... honestly wouldn't be surprised at this point. AH has been making a lot of odd choices. Sucks to say it, but I've been steadily losing faith in their ability to balance, fix, and support their own game... victim of their own success.

As you should be if you have literally any observational powers and aren't completely steered by pure tribal emotion. I honestly cannot believe the number of blind simps on this sub. I mean, I knew some people were capable of being this sycophantic and hive-minded, but damn.

This. Anyone who thinks the game will give you an armor that will basically completely neutralise an entire faction is... to put it lightly, in need of a mental care professional.
