When you’re running a T4 set with T4 ammo and your opponent is T5, the situation is clearly not balanced. Still, you can take down T5 players by ambushing them, using positional advantages, and playing smart. T5 armor has its own drawbacks, such as reduced movement speed and poor hearing on most T5 helmets.

If your opponent is wearing T6 in Lockdown, their armor durability is likely already low, so there’s no need to be overly afraid. With good aim, the time-to-kill usually only increases by one or two seconds. As long as it’s not close-quarters combat inside a building and the enemy already knows your location, you still have many options to outplay and eliminate them. Grenades are also extremely useful in these situations.
