Can someone confirm?

I think I've read and heard enough already to just pass on this season and retain my sanity. Still haven't pulled the trigger either way. Very conflicted at the moment. Which in itself speaks volume. 

In a game where purple shield can keep you alive for about 0.1 of a millisecond, seems ridiculous to limit shield and health from the replicator. I will never understand this new era of Dev's and the way they think and implement changes and the reasons for half of them. If feels like the new gen of Dev's should all be working in completely different fields. The gaming industry as a whole from the Dev's, to the influencers, to the corporate creed, the dirty tactics to rake ppl for money,  the hacking industry having more power and control over games then the developers and owners themselves and just about most everything else has brought this industry to its knees. Or rather has brought us player base casuals to their knees. 

Disappointing. 

@ComicBookGuy2727I think they tried to deal with that with Smart Loot in the Support Bins.

It is all intended to keep people from spending too much time outside the ring. You can't stay out there as easily with all these changes. No more heat shielding on a replicator in the storm and crafting 20 med kits.
