Will the specifications be tied to different armour sets? As in armour is no longer just cosmetic? Or will I be able to look however I want and get the effects I want? Thanks.
its just cosmetic
The armor will not affect gameplay at all. They are just to make progressing through a Specialization to reach the perk at the end a little easier; to help with the wait, if you will.
Ok, people are making this way more complicated than it needs to be.
The armor is still cosmetic. You can where whatever armor you want whenever you want to (given you’ve unlocked it).
As for the “Specializations” all they do is unlock more armor for you to wear and a new Tactical or Support Package to use instead of one of the default ones.
You choose a specialization to play with. As you rank that specialization up, you unlock pieces of its armour. So if you use Wetwork you will begin to unlock pieces of the Wetworks armour. At level 10, you will unlock the Wetwork Mod.
So here’s an example of how it might work.
Wetwork:
Level 1: Wetworks shoulders
Level 2: Wetworks legs
Level 3: Wetworks chest
Level 4: Wetworks helmet
Level 5: Wetworks visor
Etc etc.
Level 10: Wetwork mod
Does that make more sense?
