Proposal
Make it identical to mando armor, stat and material wise, made out of "Beskar" and derived from Mandalorian tech, so it's crafted in Deathwatch.

No game mechanics changes, just skins/colors...
Use game art assets that already exist, and require new lootable schematics.
Justification
Fairly simple (development wise) additions that offer a ton of "bang-for-the-buck" and wow factor.
Motivation
Add variety to the look/feel/excitement of bounty hunter for BH and prey.
This! Do something similarly cool for Rebel bounty hunters.

i dont really like the idea because mando armor is a symbol of status (has the same stats as any other assault armor just better condition) since its a really tough grind and also need group runs through DWB making it hard to achieve. That said i would like to see some Bhs leaderboards (as another playervoice mentioned) with some cosmetic rewards but just no mando armor.
 
Perhaps take a step back from it being Mando armor, but make it the next best armor and fraction specific. Like a storm trooper derivative for imperial (maybe a little dark trooper meets royal gaurd or the like) and commando ish for the rebels. Just spit balling here.
 
I know we have crafted bounty hunter armour, and anyone who can wear Assault armour can wear it, but it has improved condition
 
I would like to hear more discussion on this, Mando armor is a status symbol due to how hard it is to get the armor made and because of that it has improved condition. I am not against factional armor but if i would rather have it factional flagged armor meaning you need to be SF in order to wear it. Is Beskar pvp armor?
 
Just a side note as to Captain Phasma's armour, it's made out of Chromium which is the same material Naboo used for it's starships as noted here: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Chromium

Beskar currently is only craftable from Death Watch Bunker and the other two Mandalorian sets are from the Restuss battlefield and battle armor: https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/Crusader_armor

Crusader armour will likely be added when Restuss Battlefield is added to R3 which should fulfill your interest in factional armor. Given that it is battle armor, it wouldn't be assault armor used for Bounty Hunters but Mandalorian armour from DWB is considered Assault Armor. (You can still use it for appearance)

As is Bounty Hunter armor from running dangerous bounty hunter missions, hope that helps
