What do they do? I got a faint clue, but I don’t actually know, anyone just got a quick sweet answer?
Friendly/Enemy variant skins?

In-game, the enemies always wear the brighter version of the skins which you get when you select “Enemy” in the loadout preview. On the flip side, your teammates will wear the darker “Friendly” version.
You don’t get to choose in-game, your merc automatically appears with the correcponding version depending who is looking at you (a teammate or an opponent). The selection in the loadout preview is only there to allow you to see how both versions will look in-game.

Spot on.
Personaly I would prefer if it showed you the friendly skin version as default in the loadout display. It is what your team sees and is technical the default version of the skin. While the enemy variant is a brightend/inverted version for visibility reasons.

They made the enemy version brighter so that it’s easier to see the red tint over it to be able to tell it’s an enemy
