How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Very easy to replicate. You don't instantly swap like with any other armor pairing, you have to "hold to confirm"
What should be happening instead? You should armor swap instantly, instead of having to "hold to confirm" with gold
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Have a damaged evo armor, such as a red/purple armor with very little hp left 2. Try to armor swap to gold, it will not let you instantly swap like it does with every other armor type, including white armor when you're cracked

This seems like an easy issue. Obviously a remnant from when evo-shields and normal shields co-existed in the game, and evo shields where "worth more" in the game logic.

 

However now, the only non-evo armor in the game now, is the gold armor, and the game logic still prioritizes the evo armor (all other armor) over non-evo armor, when swapping.

 

So... Change this logic in regards to evo armor vs regular (gold) armor, and make it basic: if hitpoints = more than what you have, insta-swap.

This has been in the game so long now.
