I get it’s in the game now and is not going to be removed but I think a change to how it behaves would help it not feel as “cheap”.
Armour plates should only protect a player when taking body shots. Headshots should ignore armour for all weapons, not just sniper rifles.
It would still protect a player in a lot of gunfights, but reward the other player for their accuracy.
@SMiT2710I don’t think it would be a good idea.
Not becouse i don’t want accuracy to be rewardet but becouse making one of the weakest Gadget more weak.
Currently there is no reason to pick armor plates over the medpen.
Also, the guns in 2042 are that easy to use, it shouldn’t be a problem to HS to Beginn with.
also, how many players with armor do you encounter nowadays ? I bet only Irish players with theyr 10 starting armor.
I did a video a while back about how armor plates make no difference in the damage meter. I haven't payed attention in a long time since I don't use the plates, but you could be killed with 100 damage or less, with or without a plate.
