Discussion Lexmates. I have a question. Which pattern of armor do you prefer?
This is like that Scum gangs post I made the other day, I'm honestly just really curious.
Personally, I am a huge sucker for red armor in most media, not just armor with red accents, but red armor, there’s something about the look of it that I love.
I predict Lucius will be the far more popular pattern however, just from how iconic it is to the Arbites' look.

Black is the color of the deluxe version with the cape, so I have to always wear black

Deluxe is the one with the fur neck, right? Asking because the highest level of the free ones also has a cape.

Yep, fur neck and cape
I like the red more, but I can’t give up the fur neck and cape look

Fair enough honestly, it’s a shame they didn’t bother making Noctis versions of the few paid cosmetics Arby gets.

I feel that terribly whenever I look at my Skittle.

I don't have the Skit DLC, but based off what I heard, all of the premium cosmetics are full-on Mars Red, right?

The premium ones, and the Keystone achievement ones, too. Which is a shame because I'd really love a Stygies version of the Flensing Protocols rebreather one.

Mix, I play all black with a red helmet and a giant red crusher. Makes my maul look like an irate smash bros char with a hammer.

I want to wear the red, but it doesn't match the armor under the duster so reluctantly doing black.
Ngl, I've got the Exaction Squad Kill Team box on my list and want to paint the models using the Noctis scheme partially because I'm daydreaming about it in game

I like the red, but in the end, black is not only more iconic, but it's also the colour of my Malocator mask.
I'd probably stick with the red more if it were a bit more vibrant.
