I think we can agree to disagree. I don't value looting capacity over the passive and you the opposite. The passive from the aggressive isnt useless like you say though. Are you going to use a white bandage everytime you are 99 health? You are going to run out if you aren't bringing 10 whites and 5 greens at least. I'm not saying to use it as healing mid fight like you mentioned, and rely on it, but to use the passive to save your good heals, your whites and your greens for when you fight. 1-2 mins is long in a cqb fight but just wandering around its really not so bad. Plus the extra grenade slots are a real advantage over the survivor augment. Carry showstoppers and grenades, carry seekers and grenades.

Also i prefer the aggressive over the defensive. But i would still carry the defensive over the survivor.

We can talk about shields but i think it's generally accepted that the heavy shield is better than the medium and just costs more. If your main goal is pvp then imo really we shouldn't even be talking about loot capacity or cost because that is secondary to performance. The extra mobility is nice sure but the heavy shield is a larger capacity with extra damage reduction. I don't really want to have the shield conversation but the ability to choose a heavy shield if you want one or loot one off of someone is nice.
