Hey, I'm not sure if anyone ever mentioned this but I found a way for supply depots to instantly heal you. I usually play as a heavy with an HMG so this is very useful as I don't have to wait 5 minutes for my armor repairer module to bring me back up to full health.
All you gotta do is go to a supply depot and switch to a fit out with a different dropsuit (heavy to assault) then immediately switch back to what you were using before. I tried this by switching from a heavy dropsuit to assault. When I switched to assault, my armor points were instantly restored to max, then I just switch back to the heavy dropsuit.
This may not be a big issue for assault, logistics, and scouts with armor repairer, since it doesn't take a long time for their suits to get fully repaired. However, for heavy dropsuits and those not using armor repairer, this may prove very useful.
I hope this information proves useful to you guys, and be nice because I'm new to this forum :) |

This is an exploit? I thought it was a feature, I've been doing this for like 2 builds now. In fact, I learned about it because someone mentioned it here. |

I heard that switching out of a suit thats damaged destroys it. I never did get to check if that is the case. |

Why would you want this removed? If you can't kill the guy whilst he's switching out his fits then fair play to him. Should just make this game sticks and stones only with no chance of making your character any better. |

The better way to go about this is to have identical fits, like Heavy 1 and Heavy 2...that way you eliminate needed to switch back to the fit you are using, cuts the time in half. |

I dont think that it should be an option to just switch out a fitting to get full health, but yeah we all have different opinions |

how is this an exploit? If you change from one suit to another it should give you full armor, its a new suit afterall |

I believe this is an exploit. My brother did the same thing to his heavy suit. When he got to the supply depot he was wearing an assault. Then an enemy merc jumped him and started shooting him. My brother switched suits to his heavy instantly healing him even while being shot at and killed the merc shooting him. |

This makes the king of the hill all powerful. Come take the hill back so I don't have to chase you.
And it has to be a different suit completely not just the same suit with different items. |

Well, you actually have to swap to a DIFFERENT suit if your suit isn't a BPO, so a heavy can't have a duplicate build just to instaheal. Also, you don't lose the suit. I really see no way to remove this 'exploit' without removing the ability to switch suits. I personally see it as a way to make Supply Depots important enough for bored vehicles to not kill them for the 50. |

If you take off a damaged suit and put a new suit on why should it be just as damaged if it's new?
Makes sense.
The supply depot should just be given a delay to it depending on what you are changing along with a repair option and call it a day. |

While it wouldn't make much "sense" an easy way would be if you're in a heavy and lost half the hp, (so lets say 300ish), then when you switch to an assault, your health will be percentage based.. so if your heavy was 50% at 300, your assault is 50% with 75ish. |

Damage is to your suit so if you switch to a new suit its undamaged. Makes perfect sense to me.
If you switch back to a new suit from the supply depot it also makes sense that its been fixed, if it was previously damaged.
I don't see this can be an exploit. |

This is not an exploit you tool lol 
how is switching from a damaged dropsuit to a new undamaged dropsuit an exploit? why don't you concentrate on finding REAL exploits instead of trying to get features of this game removed. I guarantee you don't moan when its YOU switching to a new suit, but when the enemy do it 'omg this is a bug/cheat/exploit and it needs to be removed/nerfed. 'The enemy militia AR is more powerful than my militia AR despite the fact I haven't skilled up all relevant skills to make my AR more powerful.....so nerf it'.
P.s I wasn't being mean bro, just being sarcastic. Its Saturday, I have alcohol, and my paycheck......plus the wife and kids are away for the weekend, so im in giggity giggity good mood |

Exploit or not is it really a big deal? Supply depots don't move, so it only gives a "bonus' to defenders and that is fitting with most people's concepts of war. The defenders always have a slight advantage in resources but lack mobility. I'm in a heavy suit, couple of people run up on my and I kill them, get full armor on the depot and wait for the next group. Everyone knows where I am, so the next time they bring 4 guys and I die. Seems perfectly reasonable to me, since defending a position removes your ability to retreat it all evens out. |

Not quite...
Ppl make clone with lowesth armor hp and strongest rep... and switch back. Still exploit?
Example:
Lowest scout suit 70HP... you got 10% of armor before... change 7HP, now 2x5hp rep... 9 sec, 2 sec change ... full shield and full armor.
11-13 sec. all.. |

I've been using this for a couple of weeks now. Didn't think it was an exploit. I like to think of it as "a tactical requisition of resources." |

They should just make the supply depot repair armor, it does it for tanks so why not for dropsuits? |

Yeah same i've been doing since last build, good for a defense position. And if you switch the suit maybe it repairs the one that's damaged? Seems reasonable to me  |

I have been taking advantage of this for a little while now, not sure if it truly is a bug or not. Cause, at least in ambush, not every map has supply depots, and even if they do the chances of dieing while making the switch is still a risk. |

supply depots should just have a heal feature. it makes sense that a supply depot would have equipment for repairing dropsuits. |

This and if you change suits during battle it should be in the most obvious place that makes sense like the CRU and not the depots and it should be a clone change and not a suit change. Should count as a death,when you make the swap your old clone should be burning up on the ground while you spawn a new clone on top of it to tea bagg yourself |
