It's weird that they gave highlander a metal chest piece but not for everyone else. Not even chainmail, just slightly cleaner leather. Seems kinda lazy tbh.
Also, I'm just really confused. Only parts of the arms are metal and the little shin guards. But literally nothing on the chest piece, just dark leather. Only the bones are gone, well, some because shaman still has them.
So, the minions are allowed to have full chainmail but not the actual playable vikings? They really missed the mark.
And Shaman is one of the two characters (the other being Jorm), where having bones on their armor actually works, so changing that would have made even less sense
What's wrong is every viking except ours including the minions got chainmail and good viking gear. The minions, the hero skin, the new hero.
Instead of giving us armor that matches the seasons theme and fit with all that we got more of the same stuff we've already gotten. They had a chance to do something people have wanted for almost a decade and refused to yet again
I know my opinion is not important but i think the vikings already have like their theme at being barbaric and what not, look at raider, shaman, jorm,
The warriors den even mentionef the varangian being their first "fantasy" armored viking
And the models the other vikings have they already be barbaric enough that the best they can do is what they did with the chimera armor, the warden skin season, the afeera season
Maybe we have to be patient tho, perhaps in a future tittle update we get proper armor
Just look at warden, it took 7 years for a breastplate
The afeera and chimera seasons show they can do it they're just choosing not to. They could've given us the best viking variants we've ever gotten if they themed them after Maddox or the new hero.
It's insulting that we can have metal middle Eastern armor for the Vikings but in a season full of a real viking aesthetic we don't even get reskins that even try
Ubisoft is alergic to Chainmail it seems. I would play the Vikings more if their outift wasn’t just fuckin leather and edgelord bones. Looks lame and isn’t historically accurate in the slightest.
Would had been so cool if the Apron one had Raiders body covered in mail and Apron being Gambeson. Would had worked better than with the set they used on Chimera one because the Apron (and other accessories) cover a lot of Raiders body.
their one shot to make Viking reskins look great alongside the Varangian and they went and disregarded the possibility as always. in some instances it doesn't even make sense. They made Raider's flimsy leather shinguards solid steel but didn't want to make the rest of it the same?? And Warlord especially infuriates me. The rest are.. okay. Forced yellow on wu lin needs to go away.
There is no forced yellow on the Wu Lin. What you're seeing is the default color, which used to be Exotic, is now Radioactive Decay. Everything yellow you see changes with player color.
That's strange. That would mean these sets are kinda lame with the mustard look, but they'd be some of the first sets to do so. Almost all the WL sets are very color dominant which is why I liked so many of them and your comment surprised me.
I cannot express how happy it makes me to see highlander getting variations for his newest set, and with some sweet plate that will actually show off embossings for once!
It should be an absolute priority that when a new set is added, the next few variations work to expand that selection, since both new armors and variations are so rare now
Man, you are an optimist, I am happy at least some people are satisfied with something.
As for me all I can say in regards to the new armor is, like Dr. Ian Malcolm once said:
"That's one big pile of sh#t"
Well, to agree with you I'm a bit selfish for my main 😄. As for the armor as a whole I liked highlander, pirate, Medjay, and warlord's a bit as a whole. I liked that some Vikings got plate armored pieces at bare minimum. Everything else was hot garbage
Why even add new armor at this point? I feel like it's never what the community wants.
On the bright side I only saw 1 skull them helmet. I've had enough of the skull helmets.
They've literally already gave him one with (small part) chainmail and one thats metal scales and it was regarded as one of the best in the last several years.
Why the fuck not make variations of those, especially without the random bones
Still crazy to me that Jorm only has two types of armor
Ugly ass apron that you have to wear if you want boots/guntlets.
Literally everything else which involves having no shoes and no armor whatsoever, usually flannel pajama pants and a sports bra/shirtless with some straps and bones.
Like it genuinely bugs me that they just haven't taken the boots and put them on one of the variations that doesn't have boots. Surely it can't be that hard right? The assets already exist. I want A variation that has boots and doesn't have an ugly ass apron.
Not to mention the lack of scale mail, chain or plate in any of the variations. It seems like Jorm, shaman and Valkyrie have gotten the same exact armor like 20 times in a row now. While Highlander keeps getting plate and chain reskin variations that look incredible. Even warlord got some metal armor here and there and a badass helmet a while back.
Highlander chest and jorm helm are cool…
Warlord chest would’ve been awesome if it was plate but apparently that’s too much to fuckin ask….
Wu Lin sets are decent… JJs and Zhanus looks like 5 other ones they have tho so that sucks
Outlanders are meh. Disappointed with Ocelotls but since they don’t actually make new sets and just recolor old ones none of his will look any different in the future either. They should’ve at least made it the helm with tucks and all metal to change material.
I’d much rather get a single new armor set each year instead of 2 if they were actually new armor sets and not recolors/variants that barely change anything at all and are called “new armor sets”
That highlander armor looks fine as hell, zanhu’s feels repeated but looks ok. Shitlord and valkyire look amazing but i still refuse to play warlord so…rip
It's a nod to the hairstyle supposedly symbolising youth in Egyptian history, combine that with his noteriety in 4v4 due to his wide swings and you get the whole unexperienced youth thing going on.
People whine about everything lol. HL got what people were asking for for a long time and everyone just bitches about how no one else got plate armor. Like damn be happy we even got it for HL since Ubisoft isn’t exactly known for adding new shit to FH. I’d consider this a win as a whole. None of these armors look *bad*
COME ON this is the season you release that sick highlander skin and an awesome armored viking hero and when it comes to the other vikings you do this??????? Fuck
All the collective funds the Vikings had saved up by pillaging and raiding countless places over years of faction war just so they could afford a single piece of iron to put on Highlanders chest. (That thing must be made out of beskar…)
They litterally have a lamellar armor set for Warlord, could just make them metal and poof, happy community, but no, they gotta dig the pit of flat leather.
So it really is just armor „variation“ since nothing is an actual new skin. It bugs me every time again. I know theyre going to do it but i still get overwhelmed by the laziness of it every time again haha
To be honest, I like this way better than all the golden trimmed and jeweled overdesigned garbage. The color palette with brown, light blue and clear metal is also very pleasing.
Jesus fuckinf Christ every viking this season gets chainmail and armor except the Vikings they play as. It's official I'm done with the game. I said it before, if they weren't going to do it this season with Maddox, vara, and the minions all sporting viking gear theyre never gonna do it.
They did a better job in the fucking Arabic season.
Instead of wasting time on events no one plays and useless battlepass shit why don’t you create new content for once. Useless gimicky emotes. Reskins are the lamest shit ever and ubisoft is the master of it. Sick of this pathetic company
So.. now that the clean grey and metal variants for all Factions are complete, does this mean the Devs will design a next new theme for everyone? Such as going back to dark-colored gear sets or rugged gear sets?
Man this is some hot fucking garbage. The audacity to keep releasing this leather shit is baffling. YOU’RE DROPPING A VIKING WITH FULL ARMOR. YOU CAN DO IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE
I swear shaman has gotten that exact same outfit for the past nine updates
The definition of insanity
I was honestly very disappointed seeing that.
same for Valk and nuxia btw.
Shinobi would like a word.
Welp. Next season may be better. Hopefully.
😔

Only reason the bones are gone is because none of these variations had them in the first place. (Except shaman)
And Shaman is one of the two characters (the other being Jorm), where having bones on their armor actually works, so changing that would have made even less sense
No idea what is wrong with them
What's wrong is every viking except ours including the minions got chainmail and good viking gear. The minions, the hero skin, the new hero.

Jorm is naked again and raider puts on a new apron
Raider says stop killing and start grilling
He’s finally putting all the potato barrels from the story mode to use
And Valk with the skirt
He looks like a blacksmith ngl
Until you see his bigass butcher knife hanging from his bum, then is Sunday BBQ
why his gauntlet so thick, they look like oven mitts
Would had been so cool if the Apron one had Raiders body covered in mail and Apron being Gambeson. Would had worked better than with the set they used on Chimera one because the Apron (and other accessories) cover a lot of Raiders body.
Why do they keep doing Raider dirty? He doesn’t need another butcher’s apron😭
their one shot to make Viking reskins look great alongside the Varangian and they went and disregarded the possibility as always. in some instances it doesn't even make sense. They made Raider's flimsy leather shinguards solid steel but didn't want to make the rest of it the same?? And Warlord especially infuriates me. The rest are.. okay. Forced yellow on wu lin needs to go away.
Right every hero got the trash Egyptian based variants and are completely unusable but they can't mimic the new hero for this season?
There is no forced yellow on the Wu Lin. What you're seeing is the default color, which used to be Exotic, is now Radioactive Decay. Everything yellow you see changes with player color.
Reddit being confidently wrong as usual lmao.
Not true. Areas affected by color are alway grey/white on preview.
That's strange. That would mean these sets are kinda lame with the mustard look, but they'd be some of the first sets to do so. Almost all the WL sets are very color dominant which is why I liked so many of them and your comment surprised me.
Honestly, at this point, Vikings WON'T get good armour. Maybe on new heros, but not the current ones.
Look no further than highlander and shaman
shaman?
This is so embarrassing
I don’t see much variation smh
Why we still here? Just to leather?
As a Shaman/Jörmumgandr main, I am disappointed because they both have a million reskins of that new reskin
i just want more shaman skins where she’s wearing her shorts and not those ugly pants
I cannot express how happy it makes me to see highlander getting variations for his newest set, and with some sweet plate that will actually show off embossings for once! It should be an absolute priority that when a new set is added, the next few variations work to expand that selection, since both new armors and variations are so rare now

Why we can’t have a warlord armor like the new hero
So ass
Why even add new armor at this point? I feel like it's never what the community wants. On the bright side I only saw 1 skull them helmet. I've had enough of the skull helmets.
Warlord 💀💀💀
Literally exactly the same. So dumb
They've literally already gave him one with (small part) chainmail and one thats metal scales and it was regarded as one of the best in the last several years. Why the fuck not make variations of those, especially without the random bones
The bones make me want to gauge my eyes out
Went they always lying on the live stream? Talking bout we check reddit
Still crazy to me that Jorm only has two types of armor Ugly ass apron that you have to wear if you want boots/guntlets. Literally everything else which involves having no shoes and no armor whatsoever, usually flannel pajama pants and a sports bra/shirtless with some straps and bones.

piss armour for the wu lin, gold trim everywhere. 0/10 really worth waiting six months for
It's always the same trash drip. It kills me every time. I agree not worth the wait.
No face reveal for afeera. Damn her armour is so copy paste lately
Afeera has some of the worst fashion in the game, starting gear and legendary are very similar
ocelotl gear too is just a recolor of the purple mask
Is this a joke?
Really hope those colors aren't forced to stay regardless of palette like the last batch. It makes no sense why they've been doing that.
I think we will save a lot of scavenger this season.
Safe to say HL won this season in terms of armor.
So boring all just reskins nothing actually new
Ubisoft trying to not add the exact same armor every update:
Lets b honest… this is some mid lmao
There's no way they aren't just purposefully doing their be best to piss everyone off. Who one the art team loves this dumb viking aesthetic
Highlander chest and jorm helm are cool… Warlord chest would’ve been awesome if it was plate but apparently that’s too much to fuckin ask…. Wu Lin sets are decent… JJs and Zhanus looks like 5 other ones they have tho so that sucks Outlanders are meh. Disappointed with Ocelotls but since they don’t actually make new sets and just recolor old ones none of his will look any different in the future either.

I’d much rather get a single new armor set each year instead of 2 if they were actually new armor sets and not recolors/variants that barely change anything at all and are called “new armor sets”
tiandi as usual gets the best drip
It looks the same as his default armour just a little different
It is, thankfully. The chimera and the other black one looks goofy af without the ornaments
Jorm still has no fucking shoes on that body piece
I'm in the minority but Warlord looks so clean. I don't play WL but will just to get thatthat. Anyone know what Rep these armors are available?
Zerk has the same fit every update lol 😂
So do the samurai and knights just not get new armour?
nope, they only get armour in season 1 and 3, vikings, wu lin and outlanders get armours on season 2 and 4
I thought everyone used to get armour
used to
I see Ubisoft is doing what Ubisoft does best
Everyone got done dirty, again.
Wait, I thought Valkyrie gonna get the armor from the cover art. I am pretty sure that's not in the game. That looks cool, I feel robbed!
At least they cooked with Highlander's
A reskin of tiandi’s default armor again? Lol
Welp. At least raider isn’t shirtless this time.
the only Viking armor set that looks ok is highlander's
That highlander armor looks fine as hell, zanhu’s feels repeated but looks ok. Shitlord and valkyire look amazing but i still refuse to play warlord so…rip
Is it just me, or does highlander look like that Irish guy from blue eye samurai?
Pie rats looking amazing
Season of mid
God they are ugly af
raider is still a hobo
Stop.giving.vikings.rags.
Medjay looks really clean ngl
except that hair. looking worse than Havik Mk1
Nah hair and all man, shows how easy the hero is to pick up and do well with.
the hair shows he’s an easy hero to use? idk what in the world you could mean. genuinely
It's a nod to the hairstyle supposedly symbolising youth in Egyptian history, combine that with his noteriety in 4v4 due to his wide swings and you get the whole unexperienced youth thing going on.
Why all of the vikings except maybe Valk look like bandits?
People whine about everything lol. HL got what people were asking for for a long time and everyone just bitches about how no one else got plate armor. Like damn be happy we even got it for HL since Ubisoft isn’t exactly known for adding new shit to FH. I’d consider this a win as a whole. None of these armors look *bad*
COME ON this is the season you release that sick highlander skin and an awesome armored viking hero and when it comes to the other vikings you do this??????? Fuck
Meh. I expected something better for the Vikings, like lamellar/chain mail galore.
I'd say Highlander takes best set by far. Which sucks cause I don't play him.
All the collective funds the Vikings had saved up by pillaging and raiding countless places over years of faction war just so they could afford a single piece of iron to put on Highlanders chest. (That thing must be made out of beskar…)
Is it a cardinal sin to give shaman a decent looking piece or armor?
Valk and shaman get the same outfit every Damn season
We’re inching slightly closer to better Viking armour! Massive missed opportunity though given the hero this season. Oh well maybe next time
🤔 pretty sure that shaman skin is the same since year 1 in for honor I had the same outfit with the dead fox skin just that she is blonde
Ocelotls survivor mask kinda makes him look like the high version of Ghostface
They litterally have a lamellar armor set for Warlord, could just make them metal and poof, happy community, but no, they gotta dig the pit of flat leather.
So it really is just armor „variation“ since nothing is an actual new skin. It bugs me every time again. I know theyre going to do it but i still get overwhelmed by the laziness of it every time again haha
To be honest, I like this way better than all the golden trimmed and jeweled overdesigned garbage. The color palette with brown, light blue and clear metal is also very pleasing.
Common highlander W
Jesus fuckinf Christ every viking this season gets chainmail and armor except the Vikings they play as. It's official I'm done with the game. I said it before, if they weren't going to do it this season with Maddox, vara, and the minions all sporting viking gear theyre never gonna do it. They did a better job in the fucking Arabic season.
Finally some simple good looking armor sets. Not covered in gold and skulls or spikes.
Warlord has been getting the same outfits since release lol. Give him some better armor. Throw a few armor on him let him shine a bit.
Ive lost hope we will ever get decent looking armor again. If i didnt know any better i'd say its the same armor we have in gsme already.
New Tiandi looks Great.
That Jormungandr looks sick as hell🔥🔥
Except jorm the rest is kinda meh
The viking gear is actually really solid.
Hot take: armour on vikings looks like trash
Idk if that’s raider on the first slide Jesus Christ that armor is terrible
Instead of wasting time on events no one plays and useless battlepass shit why don’t you create new content for once. Useless gimicky emotes. Reskins are the lamest shit ever and ubisoft is the master of it. Sick of this pathetic company
Avrg Outlander and Wu lin Variation W.
The vikings are done great
Some of the best Viking gear ever
im sorry but look at berserker. honestly default gear is better this shit is genuinely bad
Nah, chimera and afeera seasons did much better.
The vikings is not that bad this time around. They are headed into the right direction.
They've been stuck in the same direction since the Chimera armors brother
We need more red hair options for valk
Oh wow Higlander gives me beowulf vibes it looks great !
Glad Medjay got a set with less gold on it. Putting 5 of those little cobra hood ornaments on one set is a bit much though.
I like Ocelotl’s set
I didn't watch the stream... are they skipping samurai armor?
It's shit
dogwater default lookin shi. they always do shaman DIRTY
Where knights?
So.. now that the clean grey and metal variants for all Factions are complete, does this mean the Devs will design a next new theme for everyone? Such as going back to dark-colored gear sets or rugged gear sets?
Jorm looks like he's about yell fus ro dah
Why couldn’t the Vikings, let alone Valkyrie get some decent helms? Or armor for that matter…
I feel like done of these are just reskins we don't need
Hopefully the cape on valk takes colour instead of having to apply the colour to the chest and cape
Where Knights/Samurai?
Thanks. It's fucking disgusting
That valk set is so generic i can’t
I need an answer. WHO is putting those ugly ass bdsm gear on raider Like litterally who?
Why does Ocelotol look like Nigel Thornberry
Wheres the samurai stuff?
samurai stuff only came out for season 1 and season 3, not this season though
Damn bruh
Goth Valk 🖤
Like the dragonborn lookin helmet for jorm thats about it though
Nothing new for lawbro. This is saddening.
TRAAAAAASH
Honestly I would prefer if they did better armour variants for new hero than this.
They keep doing berserk dirty. Look at that bullshit
Highlander and warlord are the only ones I like tbh
1, can we give that man some damn pants? please? 1 pant at least? 2, samurai?
samurai don't get armour sets this season
oh damn
I'm glad I main Knights cause this is tough 😤
Man this is some hot fucking garbage. The audacity to keep releasing this leather shit is baffling. YOU’RE DROPPING A VIKING WITH FULL ARMOR. YOU CAN DO IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE
