Since the implementation of the outmanned pip bonus being awarded at the beginning of the tick, if you join a map that is out numbered halfway through the tick and die before the start of the next outmanned tick, you have to repair your armor.
It seems that the fix applies the entire outmanned bonus to the player at the start of the tick, preventing players from getting the other outmanned bonus’ given by the buff.
Technically not a bug, but is an issue that should be looked at separating the outmanned pip bonus and the other buffs granted by fighting in an outmanned map.
