I really like the idea of the EVO Shield. It rewards aggression and gives incentive to use snipers. There are some things I would want changed though. First, the overly bright flashes when the shields upgrade have to go. It’s very discombobulating and has made me lose many fights. Second, the first level should be 50HP, then the subsequent levels should be 25HP apart. Third, I would really, really appreciate, if you wouldn’t have to use your shields to upgrade your shields. A system like ‘Hold D-Pad down to upgrade shields, 5 seconds’ would be cool. I know the shields can’t upgrade mid fights, but in endgames I face where I have just been respawned and have no healables, a simple interact button with a timer can be really good.
Overall, I think the devs have bested themselves with this event. The skins are flashy, the mode is really fun and the concept of EVO-Shields excite my inner-aggressive-sniper.
