This is a list of items found in the Anthem game files that have been released with Game Update 1.4.0. These new armor packs, wraps and materials are going to be released to the live game in the coming days/weeks.
Please, be aware that the items you will see in this article are not yet released to the live Anthem game. They are set to appear in the Featured Store (most likely) in the coming days and/or weeks.If you want to know which one appears when, check back regularly. Each Tuesday and Friday I publish review articles for the Featured Store and Seasonal Store to show you all new items from every angle.

NEW ARMOR SETS
Armor Packs are appearance-altering customization items that can be slotted in specific slots in the Appearance tab in the Forge to make your exosuit look and feel unique. These have no performance effect at all. Each armor pack for each javelin consists usually of helmet, chest piece, arms and legs. The Colossus class has no helmet. The Armor Packs are sold as a whole. At this time it is not possible to purchase separate pieces of a whole pack.
The four javelin armor packs below are all similarly looking and most likely from the same themed update, but they all have different names per javelin. As usual, the preview image you see in the Featured Store is a simplified version of the real appearance after you purchase the item.
NEW VINYLS
Vinyls are vanity items for your javelin. Once purchased or earned through a Challenge, they can be found and slotted via the Vinyls button in the Appearance tab in the Forge. These items have no power-boosting capabilities, they can usually be used on all javelin types and have unique looks and design on each suit. the Storm usually benefits the most from each vanity item in this category, because a symbol or a graphic is usually displayed not only on the front/helmet, but on the back of their cape as well.
NEW MATERIALS
Different Materials can be selected for individual zones in each javelin exosuit to alter and modify its appearance to make it look unique and personalized. These items have no value when it comes to performance in combat. To change a material and a paint job associated to it, click on the Paints button (bottom right) of the Appearance Tab in the Forge.
