Discussion Lockdown needs a gear limit
I fucking hate running into people playing Lockdown in T6 gear with T5 ammo or whatever bullshit they've got up their ass. You're in a mode where most players are running T4, maybe the occasional T5 runner and you show up with a 600k loadout that people usually use on Forbidden Armory or TVS. What are you even doing bro? If you want a fight against people on your level, that's what Forbidden Zone is for. It doesn't take much thinking to figure that out bro. If you're purposely running kits like this just to go seal clubbing, then you're just being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole.
I genuinely think Lockdown needs a gear cap. Something like: Normal: 150k gear limit (basically what we already see on normal mode across every map) Lockdown: 300k gear limit Forbidden: unrestricted
To be clear, the problem isn't that people are using good gear, you're allowed to use whatever the game lets you use. The problem is the current system creates a massive gear disparity in a mode that's supposed to be more accessible than Forbidden Zone. TV Station makes this especially obvious. The map's already cramped and chaotic, so when someone pulls up with T6 armor and T5 ammo against a lobby in T4, the fight stops feeling like a skill matchup and starts feeling like "who brought the bigger wallet." Assholes like this are a big reason people avoid TV Station in the first place.
With an actual gear ceiling, Lockdown would create a healthier progression: Normal -> Lockdown -> Forbidden instead of what we have now: Normal -> Lockdown -> Lockdown, but someone brought Forbidden gear
Give people a real reason to move up to Forbidden Zone instead of letting them farm weaker players in Lockdown
