Body armor rework suggestion.
I'm not sure who is head of character design and weapon design over at EA_Dice but here is my frustration with IBA body armor plate in this game here's my suggestion on how it should be implemented. ...
Forum Discussion
You guys referring to the IBA armor plate? It gives +20 hp (probably doesn't affect headshot damage).
@Metal_Daryl97
check this video, the last 2 shots I did that managed to hit were headshots. The guy without armor died and the guy with armor survived and took cover
I watched it at 0.25x speed.
With reference to your LAST 4 shots:1st shot: notice the blue hit marker - this indicates that the guy you shot was wearing body armor and you managed to 1-headshot kill him
2nd shot: red hit marker - no body armor
3rd shot: NO hit marker - because of either bad hit registration from the game or you simply missed the shot
4th shot: clearly missed
Also, player you missed conveniently died after your 4th shot lol - probably because someone else killed him

Both kill icons bellow were headshot icons though.
Both the guys were wearing armor. You can tell they wore armor by the size of the hitmarkers and how they have that pattern that is not a whole solid X.
I am not sure why only the second one got the red color there.
it's a bit ambiguous. We can do some testing on portal when you are free (1 v 1)
Good suggestions.
I'll also add that the ARMOR PIERCING ammo type should ignore or instantly break body armor.
Honestly, just remove it. It's too strong on Angel's ability since it also restores ammo, and it feels like far too much of a "selfish" gadget that really makes a lot of modes unfun to play as you're more or less forced to use it to stay on a level playing field with others. Using literally any other gadget in say, infantry-only portal mode just results in you having a direct health disadvantage in a firefight.
It's lame, boring, uninteresting, and stupid.
