WIsh they would rework the Armor Kit speciality perks in the trees | Forums

Haven't looked at the Grenade Launcher tree but the Armor Kit perk for Sharpshooter and Crossbow aren't helpful at all. Only recover 50% of armor for a random less meaningful benefit then recover a portion only to get more resist for status effects for like 10 seconds...pointless.

Don't put any points there. I didn't.

They are definitely situational perks. Arguably too situational. I appreciate the feedback, thank you for sharing!

Not going to dispute this. Even the one for Demolitionist (the one you said you didn't see) is too situational. Increases weapon handling.

Very seldom do I have a problem with weapon handling, when many of the mods provide enough of a boost to matter.

they are all helpful but it'd be neat to be able to chose which one we get no matter the spec.


(survivalist is underrated, if you pvp in a full group of survivalists you can pop this badboy 4times around a corner before engaging with the full team having 5 seconds of 4xHoT) .. that's damn near godmode for 5 seconds.

sharpshooter is probably the worst (or most niche) but then again it sometimes lets me sit in a fire lazily instead of panicking and standing up from my cover.
(sharpshooter armorpack +being in a chem healing cloud usually mean you can survive nasty fires without having to reposition)

survivalist is actually pretty helpful, since you can use it to tank stuff and stack with other healings to survive longer

The sharpshooter I find to be a bit lacking. Honestly, unless you are going to stand in bad, the debuff falls faster than you can apply armor most of the time. Seriously wish it wasnt a 50% armor loss to use it.
