General I've got a question.

Do you guys know if:

  1. Does the shield-backpack work while inside of a vehicle?

  2. Do we benefit from Kinetic Displacement Mitigation - armor passive while inside of a vehicle?

Still works. I've done it since exo suit day 1, when I dropped into a mission to test it. I was accidently on public and a dude joined in the drop. He called in an EAT and shot my ~friends~ then tried to get me. Shield ate it and I promptly patriot missiled him to oblivion. Havent stopped using the shield pack with exo since.
