How to use armor plates while running in Warzone 2

Running while using armor plates is missing from Warzone 2 and it’s causing a lot of frustration for players but luckily, a workaround has been found already.

In the original Warzone, running while using plates was a standard feature that allowed competitors to reset their armor while repositioning in a skirmish.

Unfortunately, this is not the case in Warzone 2, and the community is confused why the developers have decided to remove it from the sequel.

The slower movement while plating can leave you exposed on Al Mazrah, especially when you’ve just taken down a foe at close-range.
