Regarding Escalation - Hot Foot modifier.
I'll keep this brief, me and friend have been playing the new season.
Love the BT retailiation, love the quality of life changes to inventory.
However, Escalation is a mixed bag.
Contrary to all the naysayers, we dont mind a RNG grind to get prototype gear, its been quite consistent at 1 prototype per 2 missions, two even at times.
We are reliably clearing duo T4 and we tried T6 today for the first time.
Unfortunately, the realization is this:
Hot Feet modifier, the zappy one for standing still, needs to be removed or changed completely. It does NOT BELONG in a cover shooter. It is literaly the antithesis of the entire game.
Massive, please. Never design a modifier like that again, it is the most unfun thing in the entire game, it actually made us quit for the day and go play ghost recon instead.

Learn from the past, i can deal with the other modifiers and even the ridiculious health and damage, i cannot fathom how a modifier like that made it in.
Please prioritize fun things that dont punish a player for literaly playing the game how its meant to be played.
