As someone that only uses light armor

[DorkianBae]

I wish Heavy Armor wasn't a complete joke
It's actually so useless and doesn't do anything but make you slow

[Howling-MoMo]

i feel like if heavy armor was better we would still not use it because of how much running across the map we do. if the maps were smaller maybe but i think they are just to big for heavy armor

[Befitzero]

I run the full scout and a shield gen for extra protect, the heavy armor feels like running in mud the whole time even if you have the perk that boost your stam regen its like running in slow motion. The only time I used heavy armor is in a exterminate mission where you don't have to run far.

I have been running medium med armor, for the stim stamina boost since running away is like half the game, and the heavy armor is designed to be insanely bad at it. It probably is nice to be able to survive one or two extra hits, but I think not getting hit at all might be better, but I'm not sure.

With how paper thin the 50-75 armor is, I swapped out to a Scout with 100 armor, less speed and stamina but at least I dont die from just 2 swings from a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Warrior.

I want to use my trusty Ammo backpack, not that cheesy shield

[McFuzz]

🤷‍♂️

I like that one premium medium armor that has heavy armor qualities and the explosives resistance perk.

deal with it: this game may be fun im many aspects, but gear balancing is terrible.
regarding balancing, most of the stuff is more or less something i would excpect from an alpha state game.
i simply can't understand why arrowhad is pushing in new content, while there are so many unsolved/known issues and basically unused gear, since it is simply crap in its current state...

Or when there are more vehicles to choose from.

I bring heavy with my mech because it's fun and I want a little more durability for those times that I'm not riding my walker.

It'll just get better as more vehicles, and especially team vehicles, get added.

actually it help a bit vs Tomatoetons little better than light due different ninja covered b*tch tactics

[KageRo 911]

at least for me

[TheSuit]

Heavy armor will be fine once - Recon Vehicles are released

[Carcat]

heavy armor is much better against bots. it lets you live through a few more shots which is 100% the difference between life and death in higher bot missions. also bots are more about cover than kiting, so the speed and stamina debuffs are less impactful. youre rewarded more from better overall positioning and raw fleeing ability

that the point for you to be slow not faster

[RetroGrade]

heavy armour will be more popular once the vehicles are deployed...no more running and you can take the hits.

Yeah pretty much. Developers may as well remove heavy armor from the game right now and just convert all the sets to light/medium armor so we can have the cool asthetics of them at least.

Absolutely noone uses heavy armor once they have tried light/medium.

[Dragotera]

The heavy armor is good vs bots and vs bugs if you kill them fast enough and dont run away which are both valid tactics against the enemies of our beloved democracy.

I prefer heavy for surviving more hits in melee and so i can longer shoot my stalwart into this pack of enemies of super earth.

All armor typs are fine and use the one you want and that suit your playstiyle but dont call something useless if it is usefull but just not for you :)
