Its been almost a year, and despite knowing the cover armor is in the game. (Datamines, Leaks, Gameplay footage.) Its STILL not available to players. Is this some kind of sick joke where only Fatshark gets access to it for what? Personal use? Despite it being in the character creation preview, on the main banner for the game, nearly every trailer, update promotional images and trailers.
Even to the point where the “new” penance cosmetics are literally just an ugly version of that gear. Its seriously almost comedic.
I just want the drip that we all know is in the game, at the end of the last beta, everyone saw all the gear inside the gamefiles appear on their characters. And it was there. So why can’t we access it? What are you saving it for? Its clearly not “premium cosmetics” considering their theme and color scheme. So seriously WHAT is happening over there you can’t just toggle whatever you did before to let people have it? At this point I’d even take a series of penances, It’d be insulting because of how bad penances are, or just downright buggy they are but hey you know, anything to at least let us access the content you already made.
When the beta ended last year, armors in the game files began to spawn on player accounts who didn’t leave when the servers shutdown. What they saw, and there’s probably still evidence of it on the discord, is the exact cover armor that is on the banners. They could wear it too, it was usable. Not to mention that in the gameplay trailer before the game launched about the hub, the developer is running around in the veteran cover armor.
Can’t really say all that much about the pants, but i think you get the picture.
I would have added red circles to point out every single difference in the above images, but you would barely be able to see anything if i did, since basically everything is different.
These two armors are in fact so identical that FS actually decided to model the entire armor and the helmet. They are just not released.
Different helmet decoration.
Skulls everywhere, when the original has tactical bags.
Different coloring pattern (Black, White, Digital Camo).
Different armor decoration.
Gloves are different.
General vibe of this armor is Undertaker / cultist, general vibe of the cover armor is orderly soldier.
If you don’t see the difference, you need to train your eye a little or pay more attention. Nuances do matter.
In addition to that veteran armour and helmet, the veteran vox headset, psyker visor without mask, the zealot book back accessory and the ogryn armour are still in the game, used in promotional material and cutscenes AND bots and yet are still unobtainable to players.
The Base Armor is the same! The Camo on the Trousers is the sme, only the Inquisition Logo is added.
The Gloves are different, yes.
Its little Details that are different. Doesnt make it “TOTALLY” different
Same Base Armor…
When the game was launched, I was really disappointed to learn that this veteran’s armor set and that ogryn’s armor set are both unobtainable. It’s really baffling that the cosmetics used in the cover art are still unavailable, especially when they are already in the game files. And the game is almost a year old now.
Has anyone from Fatshark said anything about this?
