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.
Anyone know why the change?
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.
I feel really bad for those who did the SR152 grind, the armor coating is quite unappealing in-game compared to what was shown-off before launch.
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.

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.
Damn that is awful haha. That watchdog skim looks terrible compared to the pre-release image.
The people who put in the grind for this deserve much better than that.
Wow, seems like 343 marketed a Lambo, then gave people a Kia here, bad business practice.
I’ve said it in other post and I will say it again. A flaming Achilles Helmet would have been MUCH better.
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…
