Puts on heavy armor

Heavy Armor and shield pack is $$$

I can't stand how slow heavy armor makes you. Sure you can take a few more body shots (not head shots, those aren't affected by armor) but you also lose the ability to run and dodge effectively, meaning you take way more than it's worth - in my opinion.
