It’s really underwhelming how much every player who didn’t spend real-cash on MTX cosmetics looks exactly the same in the same red outfits everywhere you look.
There was a twitter post a week or two back asking people to show off their characters, I literally laughed at what a pointless action it was to post such a thing, you’ve seen one - you’ve seen them all.
The armoury shop cosmetics should be just different patterns and styles to unlock, with the penance ones being the most complex because of how much harder to obtain they are.
Colors should be completely separate, with the user being able to choose a primary and secondary color from a palette under the appearance tab of every item.
Colors could also be something unlocked with effort, with a starting selection based on the color of prison garb you chose in the beginning.
This is a change that requires no new modeling and would require relatively little effort while offering the game and community a HUGE range on more options and personalization when it comes to how they want to look.
