So yeah, few days ago I was playing lockdown while having Azure Guardian set equipped (dunno if this matters). So I got a recon cloak and when I used it i saw myself inside the armor and I saw some sorta NPC helm on myself or something
So basically us knights always wear some sorta helm underneath?
I think it's something like get killed while cloaking or something.
A lot of it has to do with models and so on... I'm not sure how you explain it, but you can see through the layers if you view the stuff in Spiral Spy, etc etc...
What the recon cloak does is apply some sort of translucent layer or something... gah, a lot of technical things.
As a side note, you can always see the knights' eyes because they are actually a different layer, try this with wolver caps etc. that cover up your "face".
I think I saw it too when I was playing LD but I thought nothing of it....
