Fast Use

Can we get this thing Nerf'ed a Little bit, like have it so the fast use mechanic has a timer between uses so it cannot be spammed, like 15 to 30 second between fast use and otherwise normal use. ...

I hate it when I fight gold shield for sure specially at long range, but I managed to outplay/out skill gold shields many times. if keep pushing them, they either reload their weapons or recharge/heal themselves, and you have to grab this chance to finish them. players with Goldshield tends to be defensive sometimes or at least go get into cover to recharge with the minimalist of damage as they trust they the fast charge can keep them alive, so going against someone like me who don't mind charging in in CQC with Half life and damaged shield is a trouble for them

Honestly half the time I have gold shield I don't remember until I heal for the first time and I am like oh yeah. The gold backpack on the other hand I am always aware of that if I got it I am volunteering to heal up every one who gets knocked. Seriously though purple/gold shield doesn't change my gameplay have won with white shield and a crappy loadout before. Just depends on the favor of the circle terrain and your squads ability to take on whoever is left.
As far as nerfing it, why? It is the perk of having it. Otherwise it is just purple shield. Nerf this buff that, I get it everyone has an opinion but what would be the purpose of nerfing back the only advantage this rare item has? As far as everyone in the top 6 having it, I have seen gold armor a handful of times this season, 10- 20 times so I must be in some of the unluckiest lobbies. And for what it's worth I have 150 season 3 wins so I have been in my fair share of final 6's, so when I say that seeing everyone with gold shield, naw it is occasional at best.

@Zeues-1992 I tend to be the same way, I just rush, cause what do I have to lose. A win? しるか! Getting downed? なんてね! Only thing I care for is the action involved!

I’m also the guy who actively seeks out loot bots with vault keys cause I know that there’ll likely be ppl close by. If I open it, I don’t even beeline for the gold armor. More often than not I wait till my team’s also there and then open it unless they didn’t wanna come and when I open it they suddenly 180/270 turn towards loot vault location and run the 100-200m. If they do that I take everything that’s gold.

@mastiffslinger I see it way more mid game than end game due to ppl rushing loot vaults. Obviously other squads end game have them but likely I’m not fighting them. Likely the OP’s just either unlucky or mad because of an apparent ‘unfair advantage’

Like @Zeues-1992 said, gold shields tend to be very defensive in a fight and like to use heals at the slightest point of damage (myself included when I've got gold). Use this to your advantage. If you're able to make them get into cover, move up on them but don't fully push unless you are close enough. It's easier to get the flank on your opponents if they can't see you behind cover.
At least they changed it to gold amour instead of gold back-pack getting the fast heals so you can alter your strategy.
