Strange Issues With Armor Anyone?

I'll keep an eye on this, but the only thing I can recall is to (supposedly) picking up an item (armor or any other), and then realize I didn't... my teammate did.

Could be related to netcode/lag maybe... anyway, this shapeshifter-armor issue is new for me.

With the EXP level reset today, I guess there's a patch coming too. Any changelog posted already @EA_Blueberry?

@Fr3dY2You were in the party with me when I got downed by those 3 R99 bullets although wearing full blue armor and health. I also remember complaining in another match later that night, about not hearing a Wraith behind me and getting downed after what seemed to be only 3 punches. Death recap showed 5, but, while I can blame the match start lag for not receiving visual and audio confirmation for the first 2 hits, wearing blue armor should keep someone up for 6 punches.

The more I think of this, the more it looks like the issues revolve around the blue armor.

Yes, I remember... could it be that those issues happened due to lost packets/latency? Possible scenarios (not an expert in game networking, so I might be completely wrong):

1) You were wearing a blue armor -for real-, but you weren't killed by 3 R99 bullets... that was what you saw, but server registered a full magazine damage.

2) You thought you were wearing a full blue armor, but it was just showing in client-side... in the server, your armor was still depleted.

Regarding the punch kill, not sure... maybe you received some unnoticed damage before the 5 hits?

I've been experiencing lag almost every night in certain matches, some times it's so heavy that the game turns into a nonsense slideshow 😢

Its basically as koochi said, from your end everything looks fine and dandy, but yeah it really aint. This has happened so many times as i've currently got a trash internet speed working in tandem with the cruddy netcode, and the high fire rate weapons are the main offenders for it.
