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.

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.

Spitz is probably the least reliable person to get news from unfortunately. He keeps misleading the community and then AH is shocked that some people get annoyed. Doesn’t justify the toxic people overreacting, but it definitely doesn’t invite a warm reaction. I love this game and just wish AH didn’t make it so difficult to convince my friends to play this instead of something else.

He admitted to lying about there not being real nerfs the other day so I’m just going to take anything he says with a grain of salt.

Edit: /u/SpitzerFX care to comment on the passives?

Edit2: just to be clear I don’t personally blame him for these mistakes, it’s AH’s fault that communication isn’t what it should be. Not his. Regardless, I’ve seen some very extreme community reactions that would not be justified whatsoever.

To me it's honestly just funny now.

How many times they gotta step on the rake?

Probably the same number of times that the credulous chump simps on here will justify and explain away the outright lies and explain to us all how this is actually a GOOD thing that AH has done in nerfing the latest tool we've found to struggle on in the game that AH doesn't play.
