REMOVE WHITE HELMETS AND KNOCKDOWN SHIELDS!

[MsSweatyPants]

Bad enough they already lowered shields and syringes, now they are keeping garbage weapons in the game without needed hop ups being default to the gun (P2020, Mozambique, Bocek). Helmets don't take damage and we already spawn in with a white helmet and knockdown shield, there is no reason for this game to still have this in the ground loot besides the dev team just being asleep at the wheel for almost 10 seasons now...embarrassing it hasn't occurred to them to fix this problem since they made dropping into the BR with white shields the new default around season 4 I believe...9 seasons later they still don't even know to remove ground loot that literally can't be used for any purpose at all other than to kill players who needed a gun or ammo asap...

Just yesterday, I found a gold helmet, so I took it, and had to run towards my team, because the ring was pushing in. I was playing a legend that has no use for gold helmet, so I wanted to pass it to another legend on our team. But we got under fire and had to start running, so now I was in the front and they were behind. I dropped the helmet on the ground, pinged it and kept running. The other player picked it up, but I now had no helmet - until I found a white one in a house down the road.

Still doesn't justify putting it in ground loot, because that use is so limited and there is no way that white helmet won you the game...I bet if you found a gold shield instead of a gold helmet would have been a much better game...kinda proving my point that the loot balance is so off that a really rare circumstance like that has to occur to ever loot a white helmet...

Dropping with white protection and heals was not in season 4, that was season 9. It was part of an LTM before being added to the default game.

Secondly, what are you even talking about with that "helmets don't even take damage" thing? You realize they reduce all headshot damage you take, right? It's not something that wears off.

He means the helmet doesn't have shield bars like body shields, they don't take damage so cannot be used for shield swaps like white armor can be in an early firefight

Common sense is no longer so common for some...I don't think it has occured to them that if they removed white helmets it would just mean more blue helmets and above making the loot pool more balanced for headshots...but this is also the same dev team that thinks a 3030 repeater should do less damage than a handgun...

Where is your sense if you don't know why the 3030 doesn't have so much damage?

It's balance and if you load the 3030, it does make more damage.
Also, we can use 3 times and higher on it that is something wingman can't, distance fight.

Acting this pompous about your idea for no white helmet floor loot doesn't make you sound smarter. And saying something is "common sense" is idiotic. I could say it's "common sense" that all armor would be floor loot, but it wouldn't make me right.

Also, are white helmets even floor loot? Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure what you're seeing is people dropping their white helmets when they pick up anything higher level.
