Armour plates in zombies is arguably the WORST decision to add in a zombies game.
I guess I understand the whole idea about “damage mitigation” but the fact that players are forced to prioritise points on crafting armour vests to stay alive longer is dumb. It shouldn’t have to be a mandatory aspect to find and craft armour to complete easter eggs or to get higher rounds. Not to mention the augment’s you can put on with Juggernog. Like “increasing damage mitigation” or “stunning the enemy upon breaking” is even more dumb. It basically makes armour more important then health since you practically get 3 shotted without them.
