I had 4 games in a row where i died only because i couldn't find an armor near me while enemies did(even blue or purple). You already did a good thing in a past ltm where everyone landed with a white shield and a p2020 so i'm wondering why this is still not in the game permanently, it would remove a randomness factor and make it more skill based at the beginning of the game.
@DarthValtrex No it's not the same simply put.
You and an enemy land next to each other and there's two supply bins.
Yours has a helmet, syringes and a couple of shield cells in. His has an alternator, some ammo and a white bodyshield. You're basically guaranteed to die regardless of any skill gap unless a miracle occurs.
Now the same scenario takes place, except you both land he grabs the alternator however you both have that white body shield and you're running a p2020. The odds are you may still lose that fight, but now you have an opportunity to win it rather than being insta deathboxed.
@DarthValtrex As @MandatoryIDtag already told you, it's just a thing that gives you the possibility to fight even if you don't find a gun, eventually you may end up dying anyway but at least you had something you could defend yourself with. I don't mind if the enemy lands on purple shield or a mastiff and i don't get a gun, but you know you will not be knocked right at the start of the game. As it stands now it comes down purely to RNG. Who's luckier wins the initial fight, no matter what. The ltm they made some time ago was great because everybody had the same gear at the start and if you were better than the others you could kill them even if they've found a better gun, it was very satisfying too.
@hayhor Not always that simple,you can avoid a traditional "hotdrop" point, leave the ship and when you free look back there's 2-3 squads on you.
Then some genius decides to land on your hand and so the RNG roulette begins.
Which incidentally has just happened to me seconds after typing this post.
@hayhor It's not in my blood to play the cautious game and land in said spots though, when 60% of the lobby is dead by round 1s end it just makes for a dull match in my opinion. I will if the JM takes the approach as I'm not gonna solo drop like an idiot but it will literally never be my first choice.
Respawn really should just embrace the fact they've got a playerbase full of Rambo and give us the shield/p2020 on drop lol. 😛
@hayhor Most likely they would complain still. Some would moan still if we spawned in with r99s and gold bodyshields.
But I'd rather die with a gun in my hand than running from a spray of bullets for sure.
