Shield swapping in combat is cheating.
I have a really simple fix, it takes 5 seconds to pop a battery, so if you take damage within 10 seconds, the time it takes to use a phoenix kit, then it must take 5 seconds to pick up armor off the ...

@ZkepzThere is a known cheat on PC where people are able to pull armor from a box without going into it. It just automatically happens. That shouldn't mean they put a delay on it tho.
I raised this question awhile back- Why are armors in deathboxes full anyway?

Its to enable you to get quickly ready for the 3rd party, hence armorswap. When you kill someone the armor gets filled for the looter to enjoy :D
Yes I heard about the cheat, and I hope they thoroughly nuke it so its gone, but fact still stands, it looked like a genuine armorswap on that film though :D
- @Zkepz But what fills the armor in the box? It's always seemed like a weird thing. Imagine if it was empty. Imagine the 3rd party complaints!
- @hayhor Well, of course, when you are not wearing them, they auto refill like the armor in the Control LTM! Duh!
( The real reason is that if the armor was left broken like it should be cause you killed them, then the streamer sweats could not hot swap in the 3rd 4th 5th party situations they encourage and would die for not playing smart. And can't hurt streamer fee fees. )
And it's not even consistent, which is what is really annoying. I win a fight and try to get refilled armor, it's at zero in the box half the time. I survive better by quickly swapping to the white armors everyone complains is all over. 50 now vs 25 in 3 seconds... not a hard choice.
- @Zkepz "Its to enable you to get quickly ready for the 3rd party, hence armorswap." ok, so after i kill someone i can use a bettery without waiting 5 seconds right? because thats how long it takes to repair broken shields... if you get 3rd partied there is no safe guard that says 'they have to wait for you to get ready' a great deal of the time i up and abandon a fight the moment i realize there is a third party because thats how battle royals work... its amazing how you want a concession for third parties, but say that in the same breath as a 1v1 swap. your cherry picking is deplorable...
I'm not saying that you should not armorswap, i advocate it and my posts do too because it's a part of higher end combat. I just gave credit so something I thought was nifty that if you wear an armor if it applies gradually by one cell or two cells a second that would be a fun idea too that gives more complexity to a fight, not saying should be like that at all. I have no issues with the current system at all.
