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 "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.
