I really like the theory of gameplay on Armory - scavs that actually have equipment and aren't braindead, players that have skin in the game and aren't naked running, etc. It's intense and very difficult, but it's the only map where it feels like the loot is worth your time to acquire

However, my last few runs have made me really frustrated, because I keep getting killed by players who are exponentially more geared up than I am. Players who are wearing a helmet that costs more than my entire in-game net worth, whose vests can shrug off most of a magazine of the best affordable ammo for a lower tier player, who are using tier 5 and 6 ammo where 30 rounds costs more than my entire loadout

It's really frustrating spending my limited funds gearing up for Armory, paying the entrance fee, and then getting killed by somebody who is basically immune to my bullets and who won't even bother looting my body because my gear is worthless to them. Why not give those players a lobby with similarly wealthy players to compete against - it would be a win win for everyone, as the wealthy players are going up against competition who also have really expensive stuff where it's worthwhile to loot!
