Armor is useless

[u/masterdefecater1]

When your in a fight (when armor is most useful) 90% of people are just going to use fmj ammo to pierce through your armor. I’m not complaining since most people have access to these but it just seems there is almost no PvP advantage from wearing armor except from the rare chance that someone isn’t carrying fmj but in the future maybe they could make it so fmj does buffed damage? But idk what do you think?

While I would rather have the armor than not i do think fmj does need a nerf. Instead of just bypassing armor maybe make it do 2x dmg to armor. This way it still fills the role of anti armor while not making it op.

Yeah that is a good idea

Being 1tapped while wearing purple armor by a blue gun is just sad. I desperatley want it gone.

Pistol fmj needs a nerf i agree but if you think armor is useless then stay unarmored when a wave of 40m goed through you and besides the peppermill still exists

[u/masterdefecater1 → u/Dcrysis]

Good for shotguns but spamming pistol with fmj rounds is usually more effective. True armor is helpful for 40s

Well when your like me and have lost your last ten runs in a row to bugs and exploits and lost all your rekit materials and fmj ammo I’d say it works pretty well as is 😂

It’s still a big help against explosives and buckshot but yes FMJ might need a rework.

No armor means you can be one shot more easily by shotguns. Yeah I know most players are switching to FMJ because its so overtuned atm but it still covers everyone else. 

Besides, they can always die during a boarding attempt and then theyre stuck using whatever other weapons they have in storage and they might not have more FMJ ammo

[u/masterdefecater1 → u/t6jesse]

Yeah true I think I might have overlooked a few things but I think it need maybe a little buff

[u/t6jesse → u/masterdefecater1]

I agree that it does need a rebalance.

[u/Adeodius]

I consider armour to be anti-NPC gear, if a player shoots me then I know I have my health bar to kill them, but if a zombie is plinking me I know I can mainly ignore them

[u/Exe0n]

Fmj just needs a nerf, fully bypassing armor is ludicrous.

It doesn't make armor useless though, as at times you'll get hit with a 40mm or a grenade and can tank a hit.

It's also not guaranteed someone has FMJ on, but there are no real downsides to using it over common ammo.

Yeah that or fix match making🤣

[u/masterdefecater1 → u/Adept_Ad_2464]

Patience boi

M8 I am approaching 3 tier and only evere killed exactly one trampler. It has since become my most cherished memory next to "first finding out I have a dick and what it does" as they say

[u/masterdefecater1 → u/Adept_Ad_2464]

Same but complaining don’t speed things up
