a buff arta should get. It deserves

Draschel: Not big on mentioning arta buffs, what I believe they should get and deserve is ability to mount hardening or resistance. Since arta get survival as their new field mod secondary bonus equipment piece, spall .....could.....work but seldom better than hardening. Hardening gives arta great chance to survive important 1-shots: tier 8 from common 440 alpha, tier 9  490 alpha, and tier 10  560 alpha.  While it may seem stupid to not use firepower boosting equipment, not everyone is super duper hipper turbo competitive or in CW. Bang for your buck, suggests using bonus slot spaces. I think choosing scout slot could also work, but using binoculars or camo net is stationary or bust. And  when arta are forced to fend for themselves, it generally isn't an stationary ordeal. That leaves optics which gives provides useless VR still, or low noise exhaust?
