Gold Armor

Gold Armor should negate disruptor rounds rather than regen shields on execution. How many times does one actually get to execute with gold armor? Instead, it should actually be a perk to negate disruptor damage of 1.55x. It would make people keep it rather than swap out for Purple armor all the time.

  • @Steviesniz hmmm 4 free shields or negate some gunshots that will still shred me if they have decent aim??

    I gotta go with the free shields on this one bud. Yes it may not be ideal to use it after EVERY gun fight, but there are still times it can be used, saving the player from having to pop shields which leaves them vulnerable to gunfire.

    What I do suggest is that the gold shield increases the speed of finishers, kinda like fast forward through it so that it doesn't take as long as it does.

    I don't think so. Gold armor is basically useless right now. Gold backpack is the most overpowered item in the game to be honest and I'd much rather have that than a Gold armour that had both perks.

  • What if gold armor would give a slight speed boost? 

    Or 

    Reload faster?? The backpack heals faster..y not? 

    Or swap weapons even faster??? Almost insta swap... excuse is the armr is made of better quality soo the ur character operates smoother, cleaner, faster, maybe its actually lighter in weight despite its gold looks?? 

    What if it was anti watson trap? Like u get partially slowed but not that bad and you dont take electrical damage? 

    ORRRR... maybe vice versa... maybe it pairs well with wattson ultimate and charges 2 times faster? 

    ALOTTA IDEAS!!!! definitly needs upgrade

    IF i had free reign to change the gold armour perk, i would either go for one of the following;

    • 25% shield recharge after knocking an enemy.
    • 25% reduction on explosives damage and slowing effects.
    • 15% Movement noise reduction (playing on the lighter weight idea @Akihiro_Hiyoshi  mentioned)

    But that's just me..i hope they do something with the armour perk though as it's pretty niche.
