The Armor gadget

What do you guys think about the Armor gadget in the game?

Background:

A while back I started recording every time I die *) and what I’ve learned is that 9 times out of 10, the enemy is using Armor and I would have killed him if he didn’t.

This is extremely frustrating!

You can say: “But that is a skill problem on your end because you can just hit headshots - the Armor gadget does not work against headshots”

And that is true. However there is a reason why DICE has set headshots to get a damage multiplier. That’s because it’s harder to hit a headshot than just hitting the enemy somewhere else.

I will also argue that my opponents have a bigger skill problem than I do, since they only win gun fights against me because they use Armor.

In a fair fight, they’d be dead, not me.

Am I the only one who thinks this is mega frustrating?

I feel I am forced to use Armor myself just to be fighting on even terms as my enemy often do.

*) On Xbox you can record “backwards in time”, so when I die, I go into the Xbox menu and choose to record the last 15 seconds up to and including my death.

    @VOLBANKER_PC Not a fan, and the usage of it as a gadget further makes me think of the game as a could-be Battle/Extraction Royale game (like hazard zone was targeted to be). In BF4 you had the squad armor bonus which I think is okay as a boost for your squad for working together, and was taken as a boost at the expensive of another possible one.
  • @VOLBANKER_PC Not a fan of it either in all honesty. I think it's OK in a mode like Hazard Zone, but doesn't work tremendously well in the other modes.

    At least Angel can't supply them any longer though.
  • @VOLBANKER_PCNot a fan either and have never used it myself as I rather have other equipment to fill that slot.

    But I feel your frustration about the unfairness this gives in gunfights.
