Re: REMOVE PURPLE SHIELD FROM EARLY GAME

@Flixvaderr

They should Just remove all body shields from ground loot. With everyone having an evo shield by default we dont need body shields as loot anymore. They create early game advantages that are unfair and lower the skill requirements of the game.

I have always used the example, if 2 equally skilled players drop and only 1 finds the purple shield they will win. That shouldnt be the deciding factor, it should come down to the gun play not rng i got the purple shield.

Gold shield can stay in vaults/drops but everything else should be removed. The only way you should be able to get a better body shield is by damaging enemies to level up your shield or looting deathboxes of enemies who have a higher shield than you. Everyone in the early game should be stuck with white shields until they level theirs up.

Removing all shields and replacing it with other items would also increase the loot quality. No more opening bins for there to be 2 white body shields in it. To this point, why is white knockdown shields and helmets in the loot pool when everyone starts with them. Remove all unnecessary loot so the quality of loot increases and we can all have better matches

    @RockScorpion384I very much agree with this, as well as them removing white backpacks, letting them be something you already have to start with. When someone drops white helmet, knockdown, or backpack, it automatically despawns. If its put into a deathbox, it still despawns. Like, no one is going to go back to these items. If someone drop their armor to trade with another player, then it won't despawn.
