When you're down to taking armour damage, you need to take cover (unless you're full armour tanked with 4 reps on a Proto Assault, as mentioned.
Or you need a repair tool. I haven't tested it myself, but a few people have said that you can repair yourself with them, so if that's legit, pick one up. |

I haven't played enough as a Heavy... I forgot you guys don't get equipment slots.
Yeah, being unable to effectively armour tank as the class that's built for it would kind of suck.
I'll agree on this.
Or maybe when we start seeing special gear for each suit (NOT exclusive, but with huge PG/CPU requirements and huge bonuses to equipping on the intended suit type), there will be some Heavy Armour Repairers that are difficult to equip on anything but a Heavy. That way, the current Reppers are fine because they're balanced for the lighter suits, but if you want more, there's an option for you. |

I managed to get a chance to test this today too.
Self-repair works. Even with the Militia version.
And Repper Scouts are the best backup for a Heavy. Our walking speed matches their sprint, so we can keep pace and still repair them while they're panicking and fleeing from battle because half the enemy team came around the corner. |

Even more so after heavy suits got the nerf bat along with the HMG. It seems like we would have to wait for half a match with not taking any damage to rep up even half our armor.
No, I tested self-repairing with a Logi suit and Repair Tool.
But I also found out that a Scout can keep up with a Heavy while repairing him. My normal run speed is more than their sprint speed.
I think the Militia Repair Tool is only 25 HP per tick, and it feels like it. It was about 10 seconds to fully repair a near-dead Heavy, and I don't know his suit's specs except to say that he had NO repairers fitted at all. |
