Huh? There is uniform for the lenses? I don't see it anywhere in the game.

Me too. Anyone got a screenshot?

Edit, oh, I see, thanks. Where is it in the line of others. Anyone has all 3 parts worn?

I haven't bought the outfit, but you can see it if you go to "Customize Outfit" in the Home Shack,

I think the idea is that it's an outfit you can buy with gems to help you complete the weekly challenges. They have requirements tied to them because if you already have the sticks or lenses you need, you probably shouldn't have to pay full price anymore.

It's not that it's pointless once you unlock it. There's two different reasons to buy the outfit, effectively; to help you get the desired item, or because you like the outfit, even if it serves no game play purpose. The route that is purely cosmetic doesn't and shouldn't cost as much. Even more to this point, the less items you need, the less the bonus will cost you.

It's different than how some other things function but makes sense.

I somewhat agree with what you are saying, and I can see this as a valid viewpoint. It just seems counter-intuitive to attach a bonus in collectibles to the very collectibles you need for the bonus. It doesn't bother me as much for the outfits that improved statistics like slot-machine cooldown, coins, growing wheel spots, gas regeneration, etc. These are staples in the game and worth working for and spending gems on. With kindling and magnifying glasses, we have no idea if they will ever be useful in the game again after this season's missions are complete.

Also, the cost just seems too high for someone starting from zero collectibles who wants the suit to help speed up their collecting process. It seems like you would be better off to wait until you get 1000x kindling or 50x magnifying glass on the wheel and just spend gems until you hit them on the wheel. Why not have the suits cost ~100 gems with no collectibles and free for those of us willing to grind it out. Wishful thinking I suppose.

If the suits do end up having staying power, as in we will be collecting these items again in the future, or even if at the end of this season they present us with some kind of epic grind that will be facilitated heavily by having the power suits, then I could see retracting some of my opinions on this.

the suits do seem to have some use. the polar vortex gives you 2x kindling on the loot wheel, and as kindling is still a requirement for unlocking tracks in the second week of frostpocalypse it can be useful to those who stopped collecting kindling after they unlocked the first four tracks. i am guessing that the remaining weeks will stack the requirements for unlocking tracks and the new suits will help to do it. i think 2x magnifying glass will be very helpful in the next few weeks but i doubt it will be useful after frostpocalypse is over.

kindling unlocked tracks in week one
kindling and magnifying glass unlocked tracks in week two.
so kindling,magnifying glass and _______ will unlock tracks in weeks three and four.

Didn't know that, thanks.
