Restoring armor at the base in the same way as it is done with HP.

[chilly pawn]

What you think about it guys?

[tame otter]

Ideally the supply box should have this feature as well.

[chilly pawn]

It would be great

But only a limited number of times per box, for balance

Or are you talking about the box on the base?

[tame otter]

yes

[tame otter]

The 200 point aerial supply box.

[hollow geyser]

How about repairing armor with heavy ammo box?
In World War 3, there is equipment pack for repairing armor or replenishing throwables

[calm spire]

Let support change out c4 for armor repair box

Take 10 full seconds to repair someone's armor from nothing

[hollow geyser]

ah, similar thing in WW3

[chilly pawn]

bump

[errant bough]

so now exo supports can go back to full armor so they almost always unkillable? seems like a good idea honestly but oki would find a way to mess it all up

[inland mesa]

So it's like a medic but worse?

[chilly pawn]

I would not say that he would become unkillable; returning to base would not be so easy. You either have to walk a lot of time, or you have to be picked up by a helicopter. Well, this seems like a pretty logical innovation. You came to the base, restored your health, restored your ammunition and restored your armor, and went back into battle.🤷‍♂️

[indigo delta]

The vehicle ressupply box restoring your player character's HP was one of the most biggest and positive changes to the gameplay back in the early days of Battlebit Remastered, especially for vehicles. You used to have to hop out and heal yourself with the medic box and risk someone taking the helicopter and crashing it within 7 seconds or have someone hop out and jump ontop of the helicopter's cockpit glass and heal you through it, loseing the gunner seat.

If the ressupply box were able to restore body armor too when at base then that would be fantastic and positive change to the gameplay.

[inland mesa]

Fantastic change to what? To breaking the flow - yes. To buff fckn exoarmor-LB mains? Yes

[indigo delta]

Yes.

[inland mesa]

Then I disagree

[magic yoke]

breaking the flow of the two things that can make use of it? yeah right. and exoarmor LB main? just shoot the chopper, you'll do more than way.

[ebon brook]

Didn't see any meaningful purpose.
It feels like it would be better to restore armor in vehicles like the Humvee. Alternatively, implementing a dedicated vehicle where all players in a faction can respawn, replenish ammunition, and restore armor would be a good idea.
And if the armor is damaged, each restoration can only bring it back to 75% of its original state.

[magic yoke]

yes that would be awesome, but having something just in spawn that also repairs armor would simply be logical.

[unreal wasp]

Great idea if support didnt exist

[magic yoke]

how, support doesn't repair armor?

[tame otter]

Sounds like you use low damage guns.

[errant bough]

I use whatever feels right but almost (ALMOST NOT ALL) guns feels awful against exo armor

But if the armor restore is in main bases similar to vehicle repair that would be fine but an unnecessary feature right now theres far more problems in the game that need to be addressed….the lack of content

[chilly pawn]

Lack of content? wtf? The game already has a lot of content. Lots of weapons, lots of maps, lots of game modes

[magic yoke]

if people don't get their weekly/biweekly/monthly content drops they get angry

[signal valley]

Those people are the very reason why there's an 'internal deadline', and oki felt as if he needed to push the updates to main and he genuinely considers their opinions and that's scary

If there isn't a game changing addition to the game every month they'll give bad reviews.

[errant bough]

While this is true it all becomes very bland and is just and endless loop of doing the same things over and over cause the only challenge in the games is get xp and kills

[cursive swallow]

Exo armor stops being useful after a single death since if you die, they probably shot you center of mass and broke your armor. Helmets are slightly more useful but only against snipers. When your armor breaks, you get none of the benefit of having armor (aside from mag size lol) and you get all of the downsides.

And "unkillable" in this game really just means surviving one or two more bullets, it's honestly not a huge deal at all

[signal valley]

From these recent updates, I don't think the average gamer likes unpredictable outcomes..

[soft kelp]

play a different game then if you want more content

[signal valley]

Some people don't understand sit it down come back later; kind of like an addiction if nothing more stimulates them besides number go up too then bad game.

[soft kelp]

true

[signal valley]

Oki feeds into this addiction him self.

Example being the 'internal deadline'

But that's how he makes bread.

🍞 🙌 🥖

Roblox built their plaform on that.

[tame otter]

Lower your expectations on the content, let us have compassion. It's a small development team who made a complete and well balanced game for just $15. You're not often going to beat out a support at mid range going toe to toe. Battle rifles, DMRs, Snipers, and PDWs are the great equalizers to exo. An individual engagement at mid range should be avoided against a support when alone, just like you would avoid an engagement with a sniper at mid-long range.

[chilly pawn]

I can argue about the balance, but it’s clear that they are trying to make it good. Don't forget that this is early access (although this is also debatable). So we hope and believe that the game will be good

[tame otter]

Even more indicative of my statement, a complete game in early access with some balance flaws. Pretty good spot to be in.

[river nacelle]

steal armor plates of enemie soldiers

wait that probably wouldnt work

they would need a time after they are downed to pick up armor plates or whatever

[glad harbor]

This is horrible for the balancing of support classes. Please no

[soft kelp]

bro thats like saying medic is OP since they can bring someone back up to full health after dragging their corpsee into cover

wait

is medic OP?

lol

[glad harbor]

You can have full health and still get one-shot in the head. Armor mitigates that. Armor is a barrier to that health. It’s unfair to constantly replenish that barrier and then have to worry about health afterwards

[glad harbor]

Telling people to only use the extremely OP guns so they can stand a chance against infinite Juggernauts isn’t really the “gotcha” that you think it is. The goal is balance

[tame otter]

Whoosh

[tame otter]

I offered equalizers to something that is already OP. What else would be the answer besides limiting Support?

[chilly pawn]

Dude, the original post is about restoring armor only at the base. How could this be OP?

[glad harbor]

Because that’s ridiculous? Especially being that supports can take 2 or 3 people to kill them sometimes? That amount of protection constantly being replenished is insane

[chilly pawn]

Do you understand what it means to return to base?

[glad harbor]

I mean there was no indication that it was sarcasm. That’s actually a mentality for a large portion of the player-base

[chilly pawn]

It's like a full respawn but without death

[glad harbor]

What you started with

[chilly pawn]

It won't change anything gameplay-wise. Just a small logical change

[glad harbor]

Yes, and support class starts off with a ton of armor. Why would we want to allow a juggernaut to return to base constantly. The whole point is to wear them down

[tame otter]

Whoosh means it went over your head buddy

[glad harbor]

Support isn’t being limited by not being able to give themselves armor. You already start off with insane health & protection

[glad harbor]

I know what whoosh means, you Reddit frequenter

[tame otter]

Just armor, they do not have extra health

[glad harbor]

They will because bandages and medics exist.

I don’t understand what’s not clicking

[chilly pawn]

Looks like someone doesn't understand how the game works

[tame otter]

I wonder the same about you pal, goodnight.

[glad harbor]

Not gonna argue with support mains about why they shouldn’t be able to give themselves a constantly supply of armor & bandages. Have the day you deserve

[signal valley]

This is the same guy that posted this.. #1189340387110834207 message

[chilly pawn]

Constantly and when returning to base are completely different things

[glad harbor]

If you wanna be my fan so bad, link my music instead. I know what I posted. Not gonna argue with salty support mains who wanna run around with a constant supply of bandages & armor. Cry about it

Bro is mad, I wanted to increase the radius because I can throw a c4 next to somebody and they don’t even get a hit marker. Stay on topic

[chilly pawn]

Stay in your position. I won't try to convince you anymore. I've said enough

[glad harbor]

Wait LMFAO I just realized you said AT THE BASE and not AT BASE

I’m like no way these guys think that restoring armor to base durability is a good idea. You mean going all the way to the main spawn

Nah I can get behind that. That’s not bad

[chilly pawn]

Lol))

[tame otter]

I wonder what else you're confused about

[glad harbor]

I wonder why you ride me better to an my girlfriend does

Anyways, I upvoted.

Next time don’t link a completely unrelated topic from me in an attempt to invalidate my opinion. Doesn’t help at all

[tame otter]

Sexual harassment doesn't fly here bud.

[glad harbor]

Is that what they told you at the bar before you woke up outside the front door?

[tame otter]

You replied to me silly.

[tame otter]

and I reaffirmed my previous statement

[glad harbor]

I’m talking about Cleo

I don’t really care either to keep going back & forth. Have the day you deserve

[river nacelle]

bro i just shoot them like 2 more times and they die

sure they would win a trade but most of the time the ads speed and movement speed makes it fair

[tame otter]

Finally some logic and reason!

[soft kelp]

rare around these parts

[chilly pawn]

🙏 Amen

[wind glade]

I like this change however I feel like it would be too powerful in combination with helicopters

Since getting a full armor and health restock makes your survivability DRASTICALLY go through the roof and I feel like many players would complain that they no longer can shoot you down (which is a skill issue on their part but oh well)

[chilly pawn]

Considering that at the moment all weapons have damage against light armored vehicles (which does not decrease with distance), I don’t think this is a big deal

[wind glade]

The issue is less of the littlebird’s durability and more of the pilot’s now increased health

[magic yoke]

drastically? the only ones who would be improved drastically are the pilots.

[wind glade]

that’s the change in a nutshell yeah

[magic yoke]

not a big enough reason to not have this.

[wind glade]

i like the suggestion and want it to be added but i just think it would be unbalanced for helicopter mains

so some tweaking could be used

[chilly pawn]

If we also get a fixed glass that should reduce damage, then perhaps this will be a problem. But let's be honest, we won't get glass))

I actually think that just restoring the armor will be enough. You will have to think for yourself when you need to return instead of receiving permanent damage reduction

[wind glade]

i missed the glass when it did work properly

it was pretty nice

[chilly pawn]

Did it ever work?

[wind glade]

yes

[indigo delta]

Never has

[royal condor]

this would be so gross lets do it

[crystal torrent]

I don't think this is the way.
We need a way to re-armor, but I dont think placing that solution in the spawn is the way to go about it.
It would only favor snipers.

"Armor Air Supply Drop" is also not a good solution imo.

It would be much better if Supports could get another heavy box, and had to choose between resupplying ammo, or resupplying armor.

Also... for god's sake. We need running speed of armors that give minus in run-speed to be removed when you lose the armor.

[chilly pawn]

I just didn't want to overload the post with too much information because then it would be difficult to discuss. I also think that this shouldn't be the only way. I just couldn’t figure out how else to do this, so I asked others for their opinions.

[magic yoke]

why not just add it in the safe zone. people don't understand how far that is on most maps. if a sniper is making use of it the map is small and they likely got shot exactly once.

[cursive swallow]

How is it taking 2 or 3 people to kill an exo support?

Once you lose your armor, you lose your armor first of all

And second, sure they get more HP but that more HP goes fast too. How much health does exo have, 60 or so? We'll use an M4 as a baseline since everyone gets one. An M4 does 30 damage and has an RPM of 700. You need two, maybe 3 to break their armor. Let's say 3 shots. (60/700)*2=0.18, you are adding 0.18 to your life in a single duel.

Maybe it's enough to eek out a single win. Big deal, you're at a similar if not worse state for the next fight.

This is the trade-off for using extremely heavy armor, you might survive the first fight you get into. That's not enough of a trade-off when the meta is going as fast as you can and not being in a position where you need 60 HP in the first place.
