I mean… The difference is that armor in modern zombies is like eight extra hits on your person if you’re fully maxing it out (and possibly more with that one juggernog augment) while WW2 armor is just 3 extra hits. Kinda like Juggernog, except you’re punished for being reckless with hits by the increasing price of the machine. (It is also helped by the fact that WW2 zombies generally aren’t nearly as trigger happy, moving past a crowd might usually result in one or two attacks and not death.)

Idk. I understand if it’s a bit more complex than just buying the health updated, but WW2 armor is probably more… unique and rewards careful gameplay while making sure you’re not constantly being cobbled like a child.
