Armor Swapping or Replenishing Shields?

When it comes to tight situations, there are things we can do to survive a little bit longer. Especially when there are death boxes around you and scenarios when you just finished a fight against the other team. What would be the best thing to do when it comes to your damaged shield?

Here are a few things to consider when it comes to recharging or replacing your shield.

1) Recharging Shields- whenever you survive a fight against enemy squads. There is a high chance that shield cells and shield batteries are available to loot on the enemy death boxes. 

2) Armor Swapping - if there are death boxes near you while fighting against another squad, armor swapping will definitely save your life. If the enemy cracked your shield, quickly loot the enemy death box and grab its shield. It may be a lower-level shield, but a shield is a shield.

3) Distant Team fights - whenever you're in a situation where your squad is being sniped by enemies with snipers. Getting a better cover will definitely save yourself and your team. Gauge the consumption of your resources whenever your shield got damaged by the distant enemy. Using a Shield Cell will somehow save your Shield Battery especially when you are really distant from the enemy.
