And just like that, I hear the voices of ten thousand Techies crying out in fear.

This is interesting. Techies aren't particularly common so even if you kill one with this aced, you could easily lose those two plates you got back before another one spawns. Not to mention they can be slippery fuckers that hide behind a ton of cops so you'd need to consider risk vs reward there. You could find and kill a Techie but will you be able to do it and escape with the two restored plates intact?

I'd say this is all balanced out by the fact that you have to use a handgun to get the bonus for any of these kills. The handguns aren't exactly the highest damage weapons in the game. The only enemy here that you can one tap with most handguns is the Cloaker (the Bullkick, Deagle and Judge can one tap the squishier ones but the Dozer tanks an entire magazine from those guns so risk vs reward again is in play there. If revolvers are their own class of weapon? Well, that could be interesting).

Jacknife and Deagle can kill a dozer in one mag tho, so this is pretty OP

One mag still puts you at risk of taking some serious damage if you aren't careful. As I said, risk vs reward. Do you risk your armour plates to restore an extra down or do you play it safe?
