	In 2015, Epique closed any formal method of application and its production went on a temporary hiatus in the month of February. In August 2015, EQ restarted its creation production, and was fully reformed in 2016. All previous personnel records were removed, and the sole database of the company became dedicated to pure technological innovation and creative improvement. Drafts of a Player-to-Player Material Crediting System, designed by co-leader Judrum, were also enforced to enhance Epique's marketing and trade capabilities. Another change in the 2016 reform was the conversion from active recruitment to privatized application, which ceased all recruiting efforts and built sole reliability on applicant discovery.<ref name=":0" />		In 2015, Epique closed any formal method of application and its production went on a temporary hiatus in the month of February.

One of the signature traits of all EQB uniforms is either a mask with the lower half of a skull painted on, or an EQB designation tag on the vest or shoulder. <blockquote>"''Despite the popularity and influence of the character "Ghost" from 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2', the mask donned by EQB was designed almost an entire year prior to the game's release, but was not enacted into service until EQB was formed." - ''EQB uniform manifest 2013<ref>Epique Black Manifest (2013) - No source material available. </ref></blockquote>The primary uniform for all EQB members is the "ATCP" (Advanced Tactical Combat Posture), which superseded the 'Standard Tactical Combat Posture' uniform in 2016, and has an all black and highly modified appearance.
