Interesting to me since Suros Regime has SUROS on the side and The Last Word has Tex Mechanica on its frame. When I noticed the "brands" at first I thought it was in significant like the manufacturers were in PSO However there may be hidden buffs to wearing the "Brand''s emblem like increased drops of that particular firearm Brands So Far: Suros Tex Mechanica Nadir Omolon Hakke Crux/Lomar Daito Cassoid Crucible Variants Vanguard Future War Cult Dead Orbit New Monarchy FOTC Seven Seraphs Osiris Iron Banner Queen's Wrath EDIT: The guide book as a ton of other weapons and variants i have yet to see. maybe they come with the dlc? because i seem to get the same types of weapon drops over and over EDIT 2: (first in a long time) it looks like Brands are gonna start mattering in the taken king. the latest sneak peak of weapons shows manufacturer specific skill trees and skins
