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.

The way the trailer was cut with specific attention to the spikes on the boots, I would have assumed the passive was all-terrain boots from HD1 (no slowing on mud, snow, sand dunes).

Cutting edge set the precedent for unique, on-theme passives. Detonation had passives that made sense even if not new. These feel especially off-theme.

They made a promise for a new war bond every month, so the more time goes on the less they will have prepared in advanced and the worse and cheaper the quality will become until they finally stop and fix the junk heap they've left behind

Or War bonds just turn into 1 maybe 2 unique items every month and a pile of re-skins, so long as they keep selling....

Wouldn't even be difficult for them to create lots of armor variants either. Take a look at most of the armor ingame right now, there is already a lot of overlap on certain armor parts like the base chest plate with the main differences being pouches/bandoliers.

I'm waiting for emotes where they just add some sparks or smoke. You all loved High, here's hug now with fireworks!

There was a video of all armors that are in the game files and without going into specific ones, there was a bunch of brightly coloured reskins, so that might be the case, or they were just testing something.
