R.I.D BASE OF OPERATIONS

I seemed to have missed some things while I was gone, including the revamp of weaponsmiths and the whole game update 5. I read about deconstructing weapons to get a schematic which seemed pretty simple and to the point. Later I was reading about Chapter 11 and it said that the Snowtrooper armor could be deconstructed and reconstructed with sockets and player made cores, which interests me because I am an armorsmith. Does anyone know if this applies to all armor or just the snowtrooper armor? Also, is deconstructing armor already implimented in the game or does that come in Chapter 11? I tried doing some researched but didn't find much. Thanks for the help!!

Ok I found the answer. For the moment it only applies to snowtrooper armor but they plan to make previous armor sets backward compatible over time.
