Main Idea: I've been playing GTM for awhile and rare items (or items that cannot be bought in the shops) have always been a fun part of the game. There are a lot of rare consumables and weapons both that people use in battle and as a part of their collection but there aren't too many rare armor pieces/sets that people fight with. I think it has something to do with the rarity, cost, and lack of benefits these items give to the player. Anyways, I have one armor set idea which I believe would be a cool addition to the game and that is the riot armor set. This set is supposed to be better than the titanium set. It gives the player extra protection from bullet damage similar to the riot shield. The riot shield only works if the player is using the riot shield but with riot armor, they can fight and be protected at the same time. Each piece of the riot armor set gives a small amount of bullet protection that when all items are equipped, become very useful for players who often carry more valuable items. Idea made off of the main idea: maybe the addition of this armor set can introduce a new rank that is above godfather. Maybe it can be called "Dictator" and have riot armor, food, ammo, and a minigun as its kit with a 24hr or more cooldown, an increased gang max size, 1 more slot in the BM that they can sell with, and 1 more row in the Backpack. I think it is necessary to include all of these aspects or something similar because if not, players wouldn't think it is worth the time and money to rankup to dictator.
More rare items are always cool but i belive an armor even better than titan would break the current gamemeta instead of a new stronger armor there should be more variations of the existing. Like add boots with depth strider or a helm with respiration.
I would defiantly recommend you post this on the discord in suggestions where you can get more of a response to it, but it sounds like a good idea.
since that new nether update is coming out they could maybe use that armor and set the server to 1.16 and release the new armor as a stronger armor than titanium
New Armor is definitely something we could look into for future events. It is something that will need to be considered though.
