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!) 😠
It just seems like a wasted flawed system where I can do a lengthy animation on a down player to get full shield or just eliminate them and loot their shield much faster, there is obviously some experience required to pull that off. I know crypto ultimate was changed to hit all armor to prevent armor swapping so I though it wasn’t an intended strategy for players to do this, but right now there is just no reason not to switch armors with every person that you take down. For the same reason why add fast heal to gold armor and dome shield it is not as useful to be able to fast heal as it is to just instant heal a shield from a death box.
