@strrsljeen Imagine a pred hot drops in pubs, kills everyone, levels up his Shields, someone finally kills him with 1 wingman shot cause he was already low from the fights.
That person takes the preds Armor.
Did they use skill to get that shield, or were they lucky?
It's the same RNG as finding a shield off drop.
Same as finding a gold r301 off drop. Or a favoured weapon.
There are too many variables that it's best to leave it as is.
They did try evo Shields only for a time a couple seasons back, and that was pretty muhh what folks did. They hid in corners while fights played out, then finished the main fighters off.
With Armor being in the loot pool it encourages people to roam and risk fights.
Evo Shields only slows down play.
