Is there anything planned to make something stronger than heavy armour?

Zac PreeceFPS Systems Designer

Yes. Super heavy. And that is not just a new armour set either. That comes with a lot of restrictions, specific weapon classes and things like that. So I think one of the things is you're not going to be able to heal yourself.

Yep, you're not going to be able to heal yourself. You're going to have a super heavy weapon. But you can use other weapons. It will just be, why would you, in this extremely restrictive thing? It's all about, you need the support. Because while you're there and you've got the big gun, you're unstoppable. But the moment people start chipping away your health, if you can't pull out that pen and heal yourself, you need a teammate there, otherwise you're going to very quickly become vulnerable.

Like a medic archetype of some kind.
