To gamers:

As a gamer, you probably grab everything you can. But Doom allows you to pick up Green Armor when you have low Blue Armor, which replaces the armor type with less absorbing type. So the questions is: when is it worth to pick up GA over low BA?

If you want to maximize total potential EH, then the answer is actually "wait for your armor to run out or get really low". It's the same logic as with medkits where you don't pick up +25 H while at 99 H.

So a better question is "if we can't return to armor later, at what point picking 100 GA over current BA gives me advantage in both potential EH and current Effective Health?"

The answer is when you have at least two times less BA than Health.

A < 2H

Just double Armor in mind and see if it's less than Health.

In all other cases, it's a question whether you want more potential EH (requiring picking medkits) or need more of current Effective Health.

Eff H:
BA: min(2H, H+A)
GA: min(1.5H, H+A)

Complex, yea. So keep it simple.

(2/2)
