I think his Gun Shield should be reduced to 50 HP as the dude now has 150 + 75, 175 + 75 or 200 + 75 Health.
I also lose fights when I use Lifeline when I should clearly win the gun fight against him but oh wait. I take 5% more damage and he now takes less than 15% damage.
Gib became too strong unless you shoot him in the back,

Oh, another Gibraltar OP complaint. I will be very surprised if these posts are coming from PC players, because on PC, Gibraltar is still the worst by a LARGE margin.
On PC, They need to make his shield cover his head and take 100 dmg instead of 75, or else it is basically useless. 15% fortified for base health is like 7.5% extra health in total with level 3 or 4 body armor, that is nothing considering his hit box is more than twice the size of some other legends. He easily takes 30-50% more damage from a spray compared to the smaller legends, no matter the skill level of the shooter. He also is not able to quickly peek corners to shoot and hide like other legends.
Alternatively to making his shield cover his head, the Dome shield could give him and his teammates fortified to shield as well as long as they are close to it. (like inside and 2-3 meters outside of it)
On console I imagine he is much better as it is not easy to aim precisely, like at his head or legs, with a controller. I am not sure how you would make him balanced on both PC and console at the same time without him having slightly different perks. :X
Oh and one last thing. Gibraltar should ALWAYS win one vs ones if both players have same health, weapon, armor and damage done in an open field. He is a TANK with far too many disabilities in other situations to not have that as a perk.

@ZeptikkHueIt's true to say though that if you get into a fast trade with Gibraltar as Pathfinder now, he has to hit you a lot less than you have to hit him at end-game.
I agree with you that balancing for console and PC should be dealt with separately in an ideal world, for all sorts of reasons. In this instance : aim assist.

New Patch out and Pathfinder got nerfed but Gibby Gun Shield still the same.
At least Wraith exploit got fixed.

Gibraltar isn't overpowered he's just very situationally strong, he excels at 1v1's, that's like entirely his deal.
However he is massively prone to focus fire, his ability to flank and disengage is pretty poor. If you reduce the damage his shield takes then you're taking away pretty much the only thing he's good at.

Yeah you are right about that. His front shield should change with his body armor. And should recharge with is body armor.
