I normally use medium armor, and if I want to be extra fast I use light armor.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the looks of chunkier armor, it is more my style.

But what is the use for heavy armor? I understand you are tougher to kill, but I am always left behind because it is slower.

Also I am still thrown around with explosions and I can’t still be killed easily when overwhelmed, which I can avoid with medium or light armor by just healing constantly and running away.

So in what situations or what is the tactical advantage of heavy armor?

    Heavy Armor + Guard Dog Rover + Machine Gun on lowest firerate. Keep your distance to the squad, crouch and do short bursts for fire support. If things get spicy go full auto and let the armors recoil reduction do its job till you’re empty. Keep an eye on your Guard Dog and radar to not get flanked by a new patrol. Extremely fun and useful combo.
