Remove Armor Swapping Mid-Fire

A player should NOT be able to pick up and equip a fresh body armor floor loot literally in the middle of firing. Please add even a half second equip animation. It does not make sense from a gameplay...

I didn't even know you could. I wish they would get rid of kicking you out of death boxes when you take damage

    That's called skill. Nothing wrong with it at all. Learn from it and use it.

      Yeah, but it really doesn't take skill, does it? It requires knowing that it's a mechanic and abusing it. I've used it too, but I've won fights that I shouldn't have, only because it's a mechanic we have to live with for now.

      Gunplay and game sense are skill. Land your shots. Dip out of a fight to med. Play the battlefield. Those things take skill. Gameplay shouldn't have to be balanced around someone being able to pick up an extra 100hp midfight with NO DRAWBACK. A simple equip time makes it a choice -- do I have a second to equip this? Or should I keep firing my gun? Not both.

        @notQuipster It is skill....

        Because this is in the game, I manage to fight off and kill 9 players who all rushed me in solo, I assume for being kill leader and champion, but yea. I continued swapping out armor over and over using lvl 1, 2, and 3 armor.

        Swapping out armor isn't so easy when you have to scroll to it fast and quit looting otherwise you end up dead.

        If you are talking about armor that is on the floor, I believe its still fair. Everyone can do it.

        If I'm playing wraith and see a lvl 3 armor near by, I'll make a portal to a safe spot and connect it to the armor to save some shield batteries and surprise the enemy with full armor. Good strat.

    @Benchwarmerbrew It's actually a setting, check under Gameplay.
    You can toggle whether incoming damage knocks you out of looting.
