READY UP! Armor takes centre stage in the upcoming game mode

During the event rotation only one armor type will be available to players, and they will drop into the match with it already equipped. They'll also drop with a P2020.

It looks like armor will be removed from the loot pool. This won't be the same for shield cells, batteries and the all important loot though!
