Oh yaaah, it’s totally weird like that…. I am fuzzy memory but I want to say this piece is tied to a specific power set selection at level 20(?) all the way back to live. I do not think this is the result of homecoming freeing up all the costume pieces to appear on the model otherwise previously locked up with vet rewards or other barriers.
I will test this weekend, copy my spider/make new to test server. My soldier/bane had that experience last spring where I just wanted to go around with these crab spider arms. It was a pain. I finally got it after respecting to crab build and then I hated the bobbing arms when running. I also found the powers lacking which is funny because I thought I had a more fun crab on live.
I think I still only got it to work in slot 1.
I also want to copy my widow body suit outside of slot 1 but I just don’t see the option with that old VEAT archetype either.
