very true, it was removed after my endless abuse of spawning myself b18 armor set re icon'd for marine armor. alas, it was getting rid of the armor of removing me from staff, but as I am an invaluable member of this team they choose the armorso almighty benobias had to smite it down as never used armor for meme ebents, or for staff to spawn it for themselfs.
but for real, yeah, b18 was too tanky and didn't realy protect agaist explosions, so they reworked it to fit grenadier spec better
