Also, according to the devs, her MOD requirement is gonna be slightly different, chances are it'll require the new "Fire Control Component" from the expedition feature that was implemented recently. And will probably require 3 total (1 for each stage of MOD), there are 2 available in the black market in the expedition room, while one will be reward in Shattered Connexion.
Gotta be honest, I'm a bit disappointed with the mod3 design. This just looks like her child skin with some changes to it. Seems unfitting for a mod3 to me.

You can revert it back to her old outfit if you don't like it.
Hopefully Kar will get a MOD3, but since her artist is busy (as far as I know) in Arknights, we wouldn't see even a skin for her.
Unless Kar's artist left like all the other artist across the past months (as a friend was telling me some time ago), then Mica would just get another person to do the art for those characters. For example SOP's mod1 or 2 is not the same person as the original artist, Lin+ and others are also not part of Mica as far is a know.
Lin+ and others are also not part of Mica as far is a know.
LIN+ is the art director for MICA... Samail isn't affiliated with MICA anymore either so Kar or AUG getting a skin is out of the question, Soppu, and M4 getting their MOD3's drawn by Infukun is also because Umineko who drew M4, Soppu, M16 and RO, is also, no longer affiliated with MICA. And so far, outside of the protagonists, i dont think MICA wants to let other artists touch other T-dolls thats not their own without a good reason, most likely to keep artists consistent. (Dont you think it'd be a little disrespectful to have another artist draw someone else's character when the original artist is unavailable?)
With how they determine which T-doll gets costumes, they do an open commission and whichever artist wants to draw a costume for their girls, can simply ask, alternatively, they'll probably ask some artists if they'd want to as well. At least... thats how i think it goes?

Because she is all you need.
Sorry, but i only need Spitfire, Sten, AR-15, IWS, MG4 and Saiga. HK416 doesn't compare to my love for my adjutants.
So she went from Kommando Spezialkräfte to Bundeswehr. From a Spec-Ops team to just regulars. Did she got discharge from an elite team and goes down to regular army corps?
I'm ecstatic that HK-chan has a MOD3 but the design is terrible; she doesn't look powered up or stronger! Compare this to any of the Kai-2 designs in Kancolle which at least have subtle cues, say the changing of eye-color from green to red for Yuudachi, the longer hair of Tenryuu, or just the general boob size increase. All of that is absent here. It's as others have pointed out already; it's basically just a slight change of the Child's Day skin, which doesn't seem right for a doll who's a walking apocalypse.
And what sort of horrible monster removes thighhighs and ZR from a design? Holy crap.

I have a feeling her MOD3 has a place in the upcoming event. There's no need to drastically change her appearance if the story doesn't call for it (45 got shoop'd, Sophie got absolutely trashed). Besides, the real change might be something that's not physical; maybe it's her resolve or outlook on things. Either way, I'll wait for the story to unfold before I start throwing shades.
And judging by the ID tag, I am worried that she part ways with the 404 in some ways.

My theory so far is that they wont part ways.
The last time we've seen 404 in GFL, was during Continuum Turbulence, where HK416 and 404 played a big part, more specifically, HK416 and UMP45 mainly, as they were strongly involved in our rescue during Operation Hurricane (the CT EX Map) and that was the last time we've seen 404 mentioned. So the real question now, is "where are they now?" my bet, they've been hiding out at the new base.
Because just look at Nines and HK416's MOD3 designs, they look much more modern and use different tech, compared to UMP45's whose MOD3 was done using scrap.
The only way they could've gotten those upgrades is either Deele got access to those parts to upgrade the two, or we've supplied them directly.
Another thing to note Nines, HK416 and G11 are more recent T-dolls, so parts for them are probably still readily available, just because 404 is a team of illegal T-dolls, doesn't mean their parts are "not available" the only exception to this is UMP45 whose model is outdated and no longer available.
Last thing for this wall of text, is the description for the new Fire Control Component: "IOP specially developed this design of enhancement parts for high-end dolls with sufficient room to develop, in accordance with the Commander's request. Stocks are limited because they haven't entered mass production yet, so please think carefully when deciding who to use them on."
We specifically asked IOP to work on these components and high-end dolls are referring to 5* T-dolls and not any one in particular.
Yeah but here's the thing. In 416's anniversary skin story, which is set in an undetermined amount of time in the future, after CT, since this is your second encounter with 45 in person. 416 in the story is working with you as one of your Tdoll. She does logistics for you and was regarded as an employee of GnK. While I was weird out by this bit of exposition and wave it off as poor writing, her mod3's appearance convinced me into thinking that she's somehow able to clear her status as an illegal doll and is able to work under your command. Either she got wrecked and the one's working with you is a factory setting facsimile or she got her memories wiped and name cleared.
There is no specific timeline with costume stories they just happen at "some point". The first anniversary pool of costume stories is set waaaay before CT and even then, she still came to the party, but nobody knew she was an illegal T-doll, people just assumed she was part of Griffon during the party. 2nd Anniversary costume story is set sometime before Singularity, while 3rd anniversary is set in an undetermined time. Another thing to note is during G28's costume story for the 3rd anniversary, where she does in fact come face-to-face with HK416, but she has no recollection of who she is as she refers to her as "Miss Edelwiese"
Costume stories are a little iffy in their timeline placements. Honestly all we can do is just wait till their MOD3's hit, we've got someone whose gonna be translating the MOD3 stories when they get the time, I might... work on their story pages when i get the information... assuming i'm not gonna be swamped with stuff to do on the wiki already.
hmmm I wonder what made the MOD3 design in lore from going to Special Forces to the Ordinary Infantry... since HK416 is still standard issue so it kinda makes sense she could shift roles but why? did 404 somehow disband?

Sier was the one who designed HK416's MOD3 costume, her reasoning is very simple, “A lady ought to be dressed in something that befits her status…” If you're unsure who Sier is, in the 2nd volume of the GFL artbook, it has both Dier and Sier's name in it, Dier being their mechanic, who has a affection for maids, so much that his whole mansion is filled with maid dolls, one of which looks like G11, even to the point that he suggested that 404's uniform to be that of a maids uniform, which was denied, and obviously Sier is his sister, whom... we've accidentally named her Sheele on the wiki, whoops, nothing we cant fix
As for 404, they wont disband, they have no reason to, there was also no signs of it happening so everybody has been running on assumptions, i'll just copy the last thing HK416 says in her MOD3 story
"Until now, I still want to return to Griffin. But ever since I chose not to take the evac chopper (E2-10 of Continuum Turbulence), I’d already made my choice. I will stay here, and continue travelling with 404 Squad as one of them, until we all find the destinations that belong to us—"
