So I want to say that Respawn has done an amazing job at keeping this game fresh for its players. They're always pushing the envelope with new ideas and things for us to enjoy. The only thing you ne...

@RTW_AerosI do not like the fact that it says I have a similar problem (Me Too button). I'm new to these forum pages and was more so trying to "up vote it" or "like it." I like all these ideas you've brought to the table. Definitely something I think would be worth talking about and figuring out the balance issues with all of this!!

Edit: The idea of other armors is especially interesting, my only concern would be the amount of a particular armor in a given game. Let's take the "vest" armor idea you had for more ammo/grenades. Would this armor spawn more frequently or the same rate as the subset of armors. Definitely still something to look into and at least talk about as a community!

As per armor, this would be up to the developers. This could overlap into the existing system and simply give players more ways to customize their in match load outs.

Think of it as the same preference as gun choice. Some prefer 301, others prefer the volt. As to the same, one player might enjoy having more grenades and another might enjoy being more aggressive on the zone edge while ring closes. This simply opens the door to them brainstorming many different armor functions. I've even seen in another BR that increased armor gave additional inventory space which.

Or...

Just make it have the same or higher rarity as the existing gold armor and remove the gold armor function entirely. I think it's pretty useless. Gold armor never evolves to 125 and in end zone fights that extra 25hp is monumentally important. That and with crafting batteries, there's usually no shortage of them. 3s for 50 shield vs 5s for 125. Even two syringe with good is 2 seconds longer than one medkit and actually the same as a Phoenix kit.

@RTW_Aeros I would tend to agree with the statement about gold armor. I only particularly find it useful when I am a get-away character like Wraith, Mirage or Octane. It's useful to have it then so you can get away fast to heal. Otherwise for everyone else it seems like a disadvantage to have gold armor, I would definitely prefer the extra 25HP.

I don't think they need to get rid of the gold entirely, but just create different "special" armor that's "intended" for different legends. Such as an armor that's meant to hold more grenades could be for characters such as Fuse (Demolition build), or Horizon for use in her ult. Of course it won't be only for specific characters but helps to allow players to build up their characters and their certain play styles.

This would follow suit with how the gold tier items are already being used in game. i.e. gold backpack generally goes to Lifeline/Mirage, or gold helmet goes to whoever has the slowest recharge of their abilities.

Also I didn't touch on this earlier but the idea of a suppressor replacing a guns stabilizer is intriguing to me. I'm sure we have all been in a scenario where you unfortunately get third teamed. Suppressors could help to reduce the amount of third teams in game while costing the player a little of their accuracy or increase damage fall off on their guns. I think it's definitely a fun idea to play around with, especially since some people are "built different" if you will, and love the rush of having team after team jump them. So everyone gets to play this their own way whether it's increased accuracy and noise (stabilizer), or decreased noise and accuracy (suppressor).
