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...

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

@notQuipster  ^ This is what they were referring to in regards to "skill." 

I suppose it's possible the team could always move the armor further down the loot box window, but that's changing a whole UI for one particular situation unless the community as a whole feels it's necessary. 

Like some others mentioned though, there is a risk going to loot it while in battle. It's not always easy on console because of speed and where your aiming icon is positioned. I see where you're coming from though, been in situations myself where it seemed like 200+ damage was dealt but they somehow gained more HP after going around a corner (they looted!) 😠

Why does this need removing? Not sure i see the issue. It's highly situational and not an overly common issue.

As for abusing a system i'm not seeing this either. Hypothetically speaking...if you were to run out of bullets mid gun fight and there was the right ammo on the floor you would pick it up, would that be considered system abuse also?

    Without mentioning that armor swap is actually keep 3rd parties less advantagous, wich is a good thing.
