Light update this week.

Ghosts are getting the Armor 2.0 conversion. No intrinsic perks on shells, instead we will get selectable mods. Three slots with a fourth upon Masterworking. Each slot will have its own category (Experience, Tracking, Economy, and Activity).

Next week there will be a short quest on Mars to commemorate Matt Helsom from Vicarious Visions, who passed away last year.

Adding to this; "The cost is pretty light and uses Glimmer, Legendary Shards, and Enhancement Cores. No need to spend your golf balls on ghosts." [Quote Link]

Here is something about Matt Helsom in the recent remaster of Tony Hawk 1+2. Helps to know the what so to appreciate what ever was made in his honor. Based on comments in this thread, he was well loved. And missed.

Matt Helsom was the Senior 2D/3D artist at Vicarious Visions since back in 2012. (started as an art lead in 2007)

As far as I can tell he died July 1, 2019 of a very aggressive brain cancer.

If you want to see some of his older design work. (2016) you can check out his blog.

I don't know if he worked on thps 1+2, but you can see a list of some of the other games he's credited with here.
