Level shield to damage ratio.

If I have full powered purple shields or above there is no gun in the game that should be able to eat through my shield like butter. Same goes if I have a purple gun or above shooting a blue shield it should not be like trying to kill a tank. The gun damage vs shield power needs to be more level.

    @Dillon1331 I think the difference between a white and purple shield is only 50hp? I believe the purp has 100, while white has 50. Most guns can crack a purple shield with 4-6 body shots, and even less headshots, if I'm thinking right. Having a purple gun does not increase damage output, that I am aware of. The attachments effect handling/mag size, etc

    Ex: Hemlock deals 20 dmg to the body. Two bursts will deal 120 dmg if all 6 bullets connect, which would crack a purple shield plus 20 hp. Heck, I think even the RE-45 can crack a purple shield in 8-9 body shots

    @Dillon1331 Are you asking them to make shields stronger so a blue shield has a harder time killing a purple?

    You already get extra health. Land your shots and you win the fight.
