My biggest gripe with heat shield

Is that it’s a rare item.

Now I get that everyone has one only because it’s for the event and it won’t always be that way. But it’s so annoying looting blue boxes only to find that there’s nothing but the heat shield. 

Kind of wish it was a common item for this event only and that when it’s over it could be made a rare again. Personally I think the shields and survival slot are dumb and should be thrown out after the event but as is it’s annoying enough to waste time looting worthless blues.

  • @MyName1sNotJohnSurvival slot is dumb? I am sure you like carrying mobile Respawn beacons in your inventory space.

    As for heat shields, remove fast heal/fast revive and it will be perfect. 

  • @ILostT0Loba I think just as you take a risk respawning a teammate at a normal beacon, having the ability to Respawn them anywhere anytime should also incur some cost which it does by taking longer, being insanely loud and yes taking up inventory space. Sacrificing inventory to bring your teammate back makes sense I think. In many cases in ranked when we find a beacon one of us would always commit to carry it and we would work out the inventory space among ourselves. So now if it’s not a problem anymore that’s ok but it was fine how it was

    @MyName1sNotJohn I never carried Respawn beacons because I don't like my inventory space to be fiddled with honestly. But now since that problem is solved, I can carry one around effortlessly. It's already a risky move respawning someone in ranked, and that's enough risk-reward tbh.
