I'm looking forward to this, but everyone should also start with a level 1 helmet, backpack and knockdown shield.
These items should all be removed from the loot pool as well.
The only gameplay change this will have is you lose the ability to armor swap in the middle of a fight unless you used quickly do it with a death box or dropped armor out of someone's death box. This is skill to do however.
I am looking forward to the EVO Armor only event to be honest.
Can't wait to see what happens to the Gold Armor as I truly believe it will be nerfed in Season 5 or have a new ability and found as a rare drop. The rest of the golden items are balanced although I sometimes wish the Self Revive was 6 seconds from 8.
