Alas, we have had many such threads and discussions pointing out exactly these issues, and others (such as the webbing modelling being really bad on the Veteran’s back and being the wrong type of webbing instead of being Y-straps).
Fatshark at this point is 100% aware their Krieg skin sucks, and unfortunately do not care.
The work on these skins is oursourced Chinesium (Adia studio) using someone’s comic-con cosplay made from random army surplus bits for reference instead of the actual Forgeworld art and models, and Fatshark then have the gall to charge and extra premium for it.

Legs are apparently still identical to the OG, hence the ‘discounted’ price.
This whole set - by which I mean the weapon skins as well as the backpack or trinket - would’ve been 2400 total at launch. Now it’s 6300.
Also, yeah, we finally have official-ish confirmation that the heads are getting peeled off and a generic one slapped on, because someone was too lazy to change the name of their hat cosmetic.
So, we’re now seeing the Death Korps of Krieg cosmetic set recycle into the FOMO mtx store.
However, there are some issues with this that painfully undercut the value of these “premium” sets, and the fact that Fatshark is charging extra for these is quite frankly…somewhat absurd.
First, the Zealot seems to have gotten a proper helmet this time around. The set previously just had a stupid zealot flap gasmask with a Death Korps Grenadier skull on it, that looked truly stupid, now it’s got a prop…
Anyone else feel the Vet Krieg outfit is awful?
Massive re breather on the chest,
No physics.
Trench coat looks like a child wearing a parents coat
Clipping between collar & mask.
No backpack
Even the shoulder pads seems off for me.
Seems like this ‘extra effort’ is just an excuse to ramp up prices for less.
Quality of the set is low, and you don’t get a weapon skin /charm with bundle.
Massive disappointment and wasted opportunity.
Heya,
Love the new Krieg stuff, but the Veteran cosmetic some issue, at least on the female model, with a couple things.
First, the rebreather unit on the chest (which isn’t connected to the mask with a hose as it is on the original Forgeworld models, but I can live with that, probably awkward to deal with modeling and animation) is WAY too big, probably twice or thrice the size relative to the actual resin Forgeworld DKOK infantry.

Why not make it like the original material? I’m a console player, I don’t have much that Darktide came out on my platform but it saddens me to see how the designers have so little appreciation for this franchise, it’s too noticeable that they are skins without much work or without references when comparing the image I realize that not only They failed in the respirator and the hose, practically the entire skin is bad
The whole thing looks like someone trying to cosplay krieg.
The helmet needs more of the cone shape that krieg have

I have been thinking that something is off with the eyes of the mask, that it dosent have the mean/menacing look to it BUT i now realise that the helmet that the helmet just need to be lowerd a tiny bit to get that look going.
Also teh collar on the coat around the throat is much better here in the link aswell

Issue Description:
The gas masks are not connected to the filter unit. Except the Psyker version, which is somewhat well made to look like, also having a tube that actually connects to the filter unit…
Veteran version clearly has blackened circle on the end of their gasmask, signifying that there was a tube. Same could be said with Ogryn and Zealot, who’se gasmasks also have details that there should be a tube…
Steps to Reproduce:
Always

It seems people were complaining about the rebreather pack on the Krieg Veteran’s chest so Fatshark “fixed” it in the laziest way possible by flattening it to the point that it looks like a folder. It looks silly and now I wish it just wasn’t there.
What were you guys thinking with this outfit? I don’t know anyone who actually likes these terrible metallic skulls being on every helmet. Just give us a gasmask and combat helmet and be done with it like this skin looks awful. I’ve been waiting since launch for there to finally be krieg skins cause all I want is to run about in a cool gasmask hitting people with a chainsword and I can’t do that because it’s just another skull mask that covers basically all of what makes krieg uniform cool. Ever…
Fellow Players,
I want to warn you about the aquila cosmetic store.
In November '23 I bought the Death Korps of Krieg skin for the Veteran for 2900 Aquilae - that is in turn can be bought for 13,49 € - which equals 1/3rd of the games price in total. The higher then average price (most sets by then used to cost 2400 Aquilae - which was already a huge price increase over what you’d pay at release for MTX) was justified by Fatshark with this being premium cosmetics (in contrast to the usual cosme…
That’s the weird part. Some stuff in this game gets modeled with exacting detail, sometimes right down to proportions that are oversized specifically for use as plastic play pieces (hence why the Autoguns all have muzzle brakes that would weigh several pounds and be more appropriate for literal Autocannons), but on others there’s they get radically changed with just a whiff or taste of the original source.
