Update 6: Developer Diary Feedback: PvMP - Audacity

[Louvre]

So Creeps won't need to grind for their Audacity, and it comes as a passive trait, but freeps do need to grind for their audacity and we get pigeonholed into a specific set of armor in order to make full use of it? Why can't we just make is a passive bonus for freeps and creeps, tie it to rank to reward Veteran players (there is very little incentive for veteran creeps anymore), and make it so once you buy it, you've bought it and it's on you permanently or until it's available to be upgraded again.

No. No.

Both freeps and creeps get Audacity with Commendations.

The difference is that freeps trade their Commendations for armour, and creeps for a passive trait.

Creep's Audacity Rank is not linked to the Infamy Rank.
