[Will there be] retractable blast shields for all Vanguard variants?
TL;DROnly the Harbinger has the blast shield, but since the nose is a modular piece it should be possible to add it to another variant with an upgrade kit, though the design may change.
The blast shield only is on the Harbinger. So that's one of those modular elements that you can swap around. So you'll have to use one of the upgrade kits to get that on any other.
So what you're saying is that you could buy a Warden, buy the Battlefield Upgrade Kit for the Harbinger and just apply the shields.
You should be able to do that. The nose is a separate modular piece from the body, so you should be able to do that. The Vanguard information comes with a bit of a caveat that I am no longer driving the Vanguard. This is going over to the UK. So all of my information is where we were at at the point of handing it to the UK. So their implementation of it might have some differences from the original design.
As always, the only constant in game development is change. So when we give you information today, last week, the week before, it is the correct information at the time that we give it. It does not mean it won't change.
