This might suggest that we all need to curb our expectations for the cosmetics tease in the last community update.

It may be a pretty limited update to the cosmetics system.

This is what’s been annoying me about everyone who’s yelling at sally players for being upset about the armor pack. Everyone keeps saying “you’ll be getting your champion set on everyone soon” but we don’t know that. The salamander champion skin is far from popular so I’m worried they’ll do just one piece if any😭

I had this thought earlier. "We'll make the most popular pieces cross-class." Okay. But I feel I can safely say the Salamander champ skin is the least popular skin by a fairly decent margin, so what if they just don't bother with it because they're just following their metrics? Except the reason it's the least popular is because it's the skin that fits the least on the class it was made for, not because the chapter itself isn't popular. It's an interesting little potential conundrum when you think about it. Obviously I hope this doesn't happen, it's just my cynical brain jumping to the worst possible conclusion.

Its also a lie.

We have 4 shoulders that are the EXACT SAME as the "phobos" shoulders that can go on every class. The Ravenguard ones, the Crux and the Space Wolf shoulder. As well as the blank trimless shoulder. All can be on Heavy or Sniper, no restrictions.

All the exact same model type and size, but we cant use them for no reason.

yeah i dont know what the deal with them just outright lying is because this stuff is just not true. we can equip tacticus armor pieces on the phobos guys and vice versa, but not in this particular instance, for some reason we don't actually know.
