I am always right, I feel like I need to sort here. Gold armor assault will survive a dagger back-grapple. Silver armor = dead as hell.
This extra true for assassin. :LOL: Seriously though, on other classes this is usually true if you are not going to be getting over healed or will do a lot of hit and run. I still love my gold armor, even though it is a crutch.
Your still dead when they lunge at you with that little nick of health 99% of the assassins always do lunge after the grapple. Though gold armor does help you live through some throws etc and headcrabs and air strikes when juiced. Still all in all though rate gets you the kills with both weapons equiped and if your fighting a gun battle vs someone whos armor/rate/> the rate/armor/? always wins majority of the fights.
Far too many factors in this game to actually confirm this. Skill level of the players, whether or not robots or other pros are targeting you, critical shot chance and duration, latency... Sh*t, most of us could run gold juice assaults and dominate many lobbies because we play smarter than the rest. I recently played as a glass cannon gunner and was chased into my base, black-barred, after killing 4 others. That assault died, because I played smarter than him.
