Lack of meaningful visual distinction in free cosmetics detrimental to gameplay

Penance cosmetics, leveling cosmetics, free shop cosmetics, all those available still make most players look like the samey dark red character, ogryns excluded.

Vermintide had very distinct silohuettes and stances to their characters that made it very clear who was who, and it didn’t have the complication of players picking the same class. This can be very important in a horde event or when things otherwise get hectic, as being unable to tell who is in the middle of a horde at a glance can result in some pretty messy, preventable mistakes.

Everyone picked a color for their prisoner jumpsuit, and people tend to be quick to switch out of it. Could we please get the basic cosmetics to prominantly include that color in them? We could at least have the oppurtunity to pick out the yellow veteran or green veteran at a glance rather than trying to comment some random player’s name to their character.

Any chance of FS giving us a bit of feedback on this, one way or another? As it is, this seems like a deliberate decision to push premium cosmetics, but its definitely worsened my experience for it.
