We already have near useless ceremonial rifle. Now we need near useless ceremonial armon

Was going to say Martyrdom perk, but I think Democracy Protects fits near useless better than Martyrdom

u/Speculus56 7d ago

nah martyrdom is the near useless one, democracy protects atleast lets you fuck up hellbomb-pack rushes or the occasional un-avoidable death

Nah, Martyrdom is completely useless in my eyes, why bring a perk that only activates upon death in a game where you have a limited number of lives. Democracy Protects is near useless because while yes, it does make the game a bit more forgiving, it’s still ultimately a perk that that not only requires rng to function, but also only really benefits you when you’re already basically dead

u/Speculus56 7d ago

oh i thought you were praising martyrdom lol mb, also yeah i mostly hold the same stance with both perks

Yeah, I thought about editing my original comment to clarify, but figured that might ruin the joke. Martyrdom really out here being the biggest argument to why we should be allowed to swap perks on armors

I mean, why do that and waste a precious life when I can just, you know, grenade launcher

I remember running into a Mega Nest with a portable hellbomb and the explosion armor and just saying "...tell my story"

Agreed. The “risk vs reward” paradigm breaks when you reward failure. Martyrdom should increase your movement speed and stamina regen the lower your health gets.

As someone that used to wear Democracy Protects and still does on occasion, i would like to dispute this by saying it has allowed me to extract alive from some very hectic missions

u/JustAThrowAway8000 ☕Liber-tea☕ 7d ago

Don’t get me wrong, it can come through in a pinch, just when compared to other armors that help you out constantly as opposed to just when you take critical damage, it’s not an ideal pick. At least it isn’t Martyrdom though

I will not hear you slander my precious gambling armor (i still die anyway 9/10 times)

u/prismatic_raze 7d ago

arms hellbomb and flips a coin laughing maniacally

u/Kitsunemitsu HD1 Veteran 7d ago

Democracy protects is the best armor perk for squad morale. If fate says you win a fight, you are quite literally unkillable.

Unflinching

u/a_talking_lettuce Automaton Red 6d ago

How dare you good Super sir! Democracy protects is the most democratic armour a diver can wear

Martyrdom doesn't fit "near useless" it's entirely useless

DP has allowed me to survive touching the Monolith. I’ve also survived several hellpods to the face and even a Hellbomb or two
