Preorder Skin Compatibility

So far, I have not seen anyone confirm whether or not the preorder exclusive skins can be usable on all armors, or just the ones in the preview (ex. Web skin for CIO only). Here’s my views on it.

Evidence for all armors:
*Armor pieces are all changable (helmet, shoulders, chest), so I don’t think each body part will have it’s own skin (ex. Web for CIO helmet, Forest for HAZOP chest). It’d just look messy.
*What would be the point of having skins for only one armor? Not that great of a bonus.
*I don’t think all of those armors shown will be unlocked immediately, meaning if you preorder from GameStop, you don’t get the HAZOP armor w/ Forest unlocked immediately. I think we all start with the default armor, and get the choice of skins if we preordered.

Evidence for specific armor:
*The two helmets Locus and Deadeye have preorder skins for the helmets only. I don’t get how that would work unless helmets and other armor parts had their own skin selection.

Correct me if I’m wrong or if you disagree.

I think the armor skins can only be applied when its full set of armor has been selected.

that would be the worst idea ever. where did you come up with that.

> I think the armor skins can only be applied when its full set of armor has been selected.

Nope. It wouldn’t make sense. You can activate the skin whenever you want no matter what armour you have.

Funny, because it clearly shows that it is for SPECIFIC armor.

where? if you mean the preview images, that may just be an example. I don’t think they would have it for a non-default armor unless the armor is unlocked right away so you can use the preorder bonus when you get the game.

I really hope you can choose which armor you want and then apply the skin to that. It would just be so much more of a bonus, don’t you agree?

EDIT: Hehe, just saw my new medal:)

It’ll probably be up for all armors so long as your preordered it.

Has anyone watched closely at gameplay videos to see if the players have skins on?

It would be kinda funny if you use the spider skin and you are on the blue team and the skin is red.

the colors depend on your team. the skin is just the patterns.

Still it would be awesome and funny.

How? I don’t see your point. It’ll be the team colour, not the colour you chose.

he means if ur armor skin was red and u were on blue team. ur skin color carries over no matter what team. if mine was green it would show up on my spartan if i was on blue team

Correct!

Thank you so much for posting this thread OP, I have been pondering this question for a while now. I just never got around to making a thread :slight_smile:

I’m wondering how the Deadeye and Locus helmet skins would work though. If you select a full body skin, how do you have a helmet-only skin? And do the helmet skins have a specific name? Deadeye and Locus are the name of the helmets themeselves, while all other skins have a name (Forest, Pulse, etc)

Agreed. I don’t want to have to wear that Hazop armor just to have the forest skin.

OT: I’m sure that the skins will be compatible with all armors. Why wouldn’t they be?

Skins are applied to all armor, regardless if you have a full matching set or not.

“You can wear an awesome skin, but you have to wear the armor you hate…”
That doesn’t sound fun… And you can’t be creative if you want a skin… You have to choose the FULL armor… And I thought they wanted us to be creative… I really hope you can put the skin on any armor
