Does any one what happened to the watchdog coating. When it was announced and shown, it was a very bright white/red/black (very similiar to the Sentinels HCS armor in the shop). But instead, we got a steel, dull red looking thing.
Probably deemed “too cool” and thus nerfed. Just like how the default MK7 and Tenrai helmets got pushed later in the battle pass or moved to a store item.
Looks like a silver or dark silver. It looks nice from the back. Has the kind of sheen I think would look nice if there were no player outlines. It’s a good example of colors being artificially rare too. It has a different sheen than the default colors.
Really I think that it was impossible to make the SR152 grind payoff unless it gave something unique. This… isn’t unique enough. Honestly this is the kind of thing that shouldn’t be unique. Plays right into how the color restrictions are weird.

“The 152 Armor Coating is a Scam” by “High Octane Halo”
I think this video does a great job at showing off the SR152 grind, the promotion for the armor, and the in-game look of it.
I think you answered your own question @Saint_Budden
They probably changed it because it looked too much like the Sentinels skin, and of course they didn’t want to upset the pro players because they’re pushing HCS down our throats, so they changed it. “What are morals?” lol
Honestly I feel bummed that it doesn’t look good now, I wanted a white color and just knew it wasn’t going to be easy to get cause money money money, heck even DEFAULT white would have been fine but no, no black or white…
