Guild Wars 2

So here’s the skinny for anyone not in the know; Commando armor is a Personal Story exclusive armor set, which as far as I can tell, has a unique appearance. I do know for a fact that the medium set is indeed all unique skins. The only reason I discovered it is because the NPC character Riot Alice from the poor human story-line is wearing the set and I happened to notice it and Wiki’ed her. The first piece of the armor is given after your completion of the level 73 Story mission in Orr, the rest fall in after in subsequent stories. There are four pieces in total, Shoulders, Coat, Mask, and Pants.

Only the medium set is unique. The Unique set for light is at present not fully available, but it’s called Apostle. Only the chest piece for this set can be unlocked as of right now. It’s received during the level 38 story mission I’m told. There’s a heavy set called Barbaric as well, but it can also be crafted at low levels.

That is actually pretty cool. I wonder what would happen if you drop them in the forge? There are still recipies that have yet to be discovered, and a four piece set, only obtainable through the personal story seems like it might produce something pretty cool, and in forging them you’d still keep the skins….

Also it goes by the name Marauder, it seems that commando armor was the PvP verison back in the day.

Go for it. Post the result here if it pops something out of the ordinary.

I’ve actually heard about that, and also that Apostle was once a full set that was PvP exclusive. As well as the Tribal set. Both of which now no longer exist as far as availability is concerned with the advent of the wardrobe merger.

I would, but I don’t have a medium armored character yet :P Was thinking of rolling up either a ranger or engi though

I opened this thread thinking you were asking Anet for the Commando armor from the commando “profession”. I’m a little dissapointed.

Both are about to be buffed soon, so now is prime time to grab one and run with it. My main has always been ranger. If you want, I’ve got a really decent low maintenance condi/bunker build that’s only going to get super buffed with that patch because it utilizes 6 points in Beastmastery (Inb4 it was cool). Just PM me if interested.

Just remember to snag these armor pieces during your 73 and above Story missions.

Lol! If only, right?! Anet has always been pretty creative with their April Fools jokes.

There’s one such PS story armor for each class type, light armors is hideous, so no one cares but wardrobe competitionists, I’m not sure what heavy armor’s PS exclusive set it, I’ve never really leveled a heavy character.

The Heavy is called Barbaric, but you can also craft it.

The light version of the “commando’s armor” in personal story is the crafted Embroidered outfit, which is kind of ridiculous. It should be apostle and I’m sad it’s not.

We also get an “army badge” that is a heart pin earring a few quest later.

And it’s kind of ugly IMO

Agreed, lol

Wouldn’t call the light one hideous. It’s one of the best looking light armor if you don’t care about kittenwear or flames.
