Nick Valentine, the Synth rules, and Armor

I didn’t want to revive the previous topic about Synths and the Wave 9 armor changes, but this is a bit of a related note. The Card in the downloads PDF for Nick has him marked as a synth, and the app card currently does not. Either way, he’s marked with blanked out armor values. Can I assume that he’s meant to be able to equip armor? I know lorewise he’s absolutely a synth, but is he technically one ruleswise or not? I assume the unit cards on the downloads page are the more authoritative source but would just like confirmation.

Yes he can take an armour items. Only 1 and 2 gen synth can`t take it and Nick is more advanced one.
