    A lot of people including myself, misunderstood that at first as meaning, it doesn't work with Classified sets..
    Is that what's been written on it since it was revamped ? If so I've got to pay more attention to the stats on my gear 😣

    There is no logical reason why Ubi could not have offered classified exotic gear. They simply decided to stop development on D1.

    The implications are a little bit further reaching than just modifying some code so that the gear exists in the classified form. It presents a potential shift in the gear set balance, which if they were going to do it the right way, would involve a bunch of PTS testing. After that, there would undoubtedly be massive player complaints about some meta being overpowered. Then they would have to mobilize their development team again to fix that imbalance.

    One combination I can see is a 1 piece Final Measure + Ninja Bike + 4 piece whatever. This basically adds 25% exotic damage resilience to any 5 piece gear set, rendering Predator's Mark useless.

    Yes,because I remember back then learning about it in a thread myself saying pretty much the same thing..It not working with classified..
    I read it wrong myself then lol

    It was the best news since the invention of sliced bread for me at the time to learn it worked with the new sets..
    I started to pay more attention to things ever since lol
