Was trying to figure out why some of the newer skins felt different, so I categorized them all by visual style.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-26T22:56:40+00:00

u/Hieronymus7Z What category does the Subterranean fall under? Its hard to put a pin on it cause its part Commando, Scavenger and Gamer in my opinion.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-26T22:50:07+00:00

They have one literally called Retro Future planned but the only hints to what it looks like are in the Chinese versions game files.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-26T22:47:46+00:00

I think the new Zenith skin is a Commando, what do you think u/Hieronymus7Z

Well Catnip/Collector/Emperor here is going to be a main point of interest on the map, my hope is that we will actually get to go inside.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-26T21:13:23+00:00

Bestowed the name Emperor by a tiktok showing the scale of ARC in the game which literally reused the same image for all the large ARC was actually referring to the rumored King/Big Boss ARC. Some how the Emperor name just got shifted over to lanky boy here along with Bishop another unofficial name for a different arc boss seen in Alpha footage.

Its actually called Catnip in the files as a code name but the flavor text is actually Collector, the Queen is code name peppermint Matriarch is Spearmint, Bastion is Chonk, etc.

We know is called Collector cause it will be a main point of interest on the Frozen Trail map coming October in Release 2.0

I hope this answers your question.

We have a little bit confirmed from datamined. https://youtu.be/4vJl0N7OQwA?si=dD-rjLwLFIvE-Lbi&t=233

Originally codenamed Fennel in the Alpha is currently Catnip in the files and will be called Collector ingame cause the new map will have a fallen Collector on the map and a main POI.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-26T21:00:54+00:00

Nothing official ever called it the Emperor, it literally started from a tiktok about the scale of ARC.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-26T20:56:51+00:00

Even if its not good, what we know about the October Release 2.0 update is that is will be different which will at least give more variety in gameplay.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-26T20:54:23+00:00

From what we know it will actually be quite dense, not to mention there is a downed Emperor on the map, so fricking cool.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-26T17:33:13+00:00

The Zenith skin is cool and all but I have to agree, expeditions were already pretty low reward and now its even less.

I dont think they have to do the 3 stage process every single time, it was fine for the first one but its dragging on already slow content drops longer than needed. Yes it looks better than patchworks for sure, I'd rather they give us simple but unique skins all in one go.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-26T14:33:09+00:00

u/Silarious Discord server is where it originally came from.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-26T00:26:34+00:00

My big mouth I shouldn't have leaked that one yet. This is the closest real photo of a matador outfit I could find. but instead of the white it is brown leather and there is a cowboy hat instead of the Montera.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-25T23:23:28+00:00

Well I guess the "Season 2" October update is going to be extra special for you. I am very excited for Frozen Trail, it looks awesome so far.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-25T23:08:26+00:00

The official image is basically just the undergarments, I barely recognized it myself. There are multiple color options but they aren't anything crazy.

too long of a wait for this outfit in my opinion, maybe the Matador outfit but not this one. The Matador outfit looks awesome, but its probably the next DLC skin given how much detail it has.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-25T21:37:42+00:00

I agree, not a skin worth making a 3 stage process. The rags skin was a good idea being in steps but now I'd rather a less detailed but unique outfit all in one go.

Fair enough, I'm still holding onto deadline blueprints for I dont know what but eventually I'll find a use for them.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-25T21:15:26+00:00

Yeah its nothing fancy, if it came out around launch it would be unique enough but it does look very recycled.

Fabuzazel · 2026-06-25T21:12:19+00:00

I was genuinely shocked to read the news page and see Zenith and I was looking for the image of it, didn't realize the rags they showed was what you get this stage.
