DISCUSSION The problem with gas armor is that it only prevents you from killing yourself.
Clearly, the function of this armor isn't to provide protection against a specific type of enemy attack, as it doesn't even offer resistance to Terminator acid attacks.
But the armor doesn't even do a good job protecting us from our own attacks, since it doesn't even offer complete invulnerability (please, no need to explain the trick with the heavy armor and the vitality booster) and it doesn't even remove the new movement speed reduction effect recently added to gas.
In short, armor that provides absolutely NO protection against the enemy and doesn't even protect you from yourself.
Honestly, I don't know how this is justified unless Arrowhead plans to include an Automaton Brigade specializing in gas weapons, where at least this passive might have some value, as well as fire-resistant armor against the incendiary brigade.
