Wack.
B18 would just not die. Benos learned from this armor only to aim at hands. It usually took multiple benos to gang up and kill B18 spec and benomains being brainlets like they are, couldn't find any other way, so almighty benobias had to smite it down as never used armor for meme ebents, or for staff to spawn it for themselfs. Just like incendiary pistol mags that exist in code, but there is no way to get them too.
Also marines tend to pick this spec and ditch GL for glorified buckshot PFC loadout with additional nades.
I also think it has something to do with "advanced explosion code", as before marine armor worked overall for all brute damage sources, now you can potentially have 100% explosion immunity with cardboard armor.

>Benomains mad it took a coordinated group to kill a single enemy that had a chance to stun them if they were out of position.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Back then the GL didn't have IFF like it does now or can attach anything other than mag harness, not to mention meltable, and even more before then (a little about pre DOREC) HEDPs only have like 3x3 AoE while the grenade belt held only like 8 nades.
So yeah, the GL was very trash at some point in this game you know. Of course, even even more before that, queens used to not have explosion resistance and could be stunned by HEDPs while buckshot ignores xeno armor that doesn't break down at all.

The B18 armor used to be all you got if you chose it, same with grenade launcher. Though we were also able to have any number of specialists choose any specialty, so 4 sadar was not too uncommon.
B-18 was a legacy armor code-wise.
It was replaced with the M3-G4 grenadier set, which uses the correct sprites. They're stat-identical.
It still exists, but it needs to be rewritten.
I am the art style.
Stats of armor might be the same but changes in armor code-wise changed it from claw sponge to just better heavy armor.
