It may or may not have, cant tell by the pic. I was in a pvp match (alderaan) and I was wearing my recruit gear mixed with a a few oranges thrown together, also there were a few members on the team that were all in recruit gear and 3 bm's and a war hero. We steam rolled the other team who had better gear and more war heroes then we did so technically we were outclassed. We won because of team work and communication not gear.
