Reskin of available armor (HBV, FJ, CTV, ICTV)

[Celestial ♎]

Overkill could add some alternate ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" for armor (ICTV especially, it looks like CTV with added protection for legs and it was supposed to be an elite experimental armor...sure). Default ones look pretty crappy and yea, i know about mods, but i dont want them, since they are poorly made recolored vanillas after all. Also perhaps while i'm on this topic HBV, FJ and CTV could get slight buff to boost variation, since everyone is using suit, LBV or ICTV anyway.

Uh, the ICTV looks like the CTV because that's what the armors are: Just the same armor with more stuff added from Ballistic Vest onwards.
And in case of the ICTV, it's even in the name: IMPROVED Combined Tactical Vest (and CTV is the Combined Tactical Vest).

Heavy Ballistic Vest: Adds a collar to the Ballistic Vest
Flak Jacket: Adds shoulder pads to the HBV
CTV: Adds protection to the upper arms and legs to the Flak Jacket
ICTV: Adds protection to the lower arms and legs to the CTV

That's always been like that and in case of the CTV and ICTV, makes sense.


That, however, doesn't mean that a replacement for the last three to make them look different wouldn't hurt (CTV and ICTV can still share a similar look with the ICTV being 'more' of the CTV - alternatively, give the ICTV the look of the EOD 9 suit a bulldozer is wearing, maybe with a different color)

Yeah, I like this idea. A few skins I can see off the top of my head are like Gen Sec Camo, Military Green, Overkill MC, etc.

Bindal, I already knew about each armor sharing theirs parts. Thing is ICTV is just meh and in-game description is somehow strange to be honest. Why they call it experimental prohibited gensec armor when its clearly nothing else than CTV with a bit more protection.

Applies to the other armors as well, and then they still all look the same. The ICTV is not different there.

yup, thats why i think ICTV should be an armor type that looks totally different, perhaps "downgrade" existing ones backwards like delete totally model and name of HBV and put FJ there instead and so on. This process would cause CTV to become an old ICTV as model and name. While final armor from enfoncer tree should get totally new name and model.

I said that the "it's a totally different and new thing" description applies to all armors - so why should the ICTV be the ONLY armor with a different model when your reason for that applies to the other armor types as well? That, honestly, doesn't make any sense.

Because suit for some reason fits under armor, I wonder if it would be possible to use mask patterns/colors to customize suits and maybe armor down the road ( or in PD3)?

i meant new model for ictv is the most needed 1 imo, i dunno if OVK has patience to reskin all of them, so thats a "lazy" solution for them, but yea, i would like all armors changed, but if so it means "Gage's armors pack" most likely.

well, customizing suits with patterns, colors and materials could be added as well, why not, but imo they should have totally different things used for modification, because those from masks wont fit them at all. Additionally we could add some badges or pads rewarded for certain achievements or other stuff.

Then my suit wouldn't be too dodgey. Joking aside I agree, suit unique patterson/colors (that can be bought separately from card drops along with card drops) would be nice. AS well as adding a separate menu for buying all the different patterns, materials and colors separately as long as we have the $$ and DLC.
