Really, this seems to just be an 'add 100 extra armour to vets' update. Pretty lackluster honestly. I'd still rather have them be identical to regular loadouts in terms of durability but with an extra 400LP to spend, then just make em a replacement for one class. If I veteran my tacs, all tacs should have that extra 400 LP without any life restrictions, it's not like that 400LP let me break the game. The veterans were barely worth anything, this way they're at least a bit of a benefit for general play without overshadowing heroes & elites.
Its 120 armour by the looks of it. But my biggest concern is. How tanky will JPA be? Those veterans might become OP as all hell.
That's probably the point. Y'know, like a Distraction Carnifex tactic? They may not even be doing it intentionally! The devs probably made them look big and flashy so they'd draw fire, in all honesty. Also, I'm wondering whether the glowing eyes are going to screw up Striking Scorpions. The second they get one frame out of stealth, the eyes start lighting up and drawing attention. Seems like a bad idea to give a stealth elite glowing eyes.
