I've been playing Lockdown, off and on, and I usually just use my best gear, which is all five star. But, today, I thought it might be fun to play in a lower-tier match, so I queued up in full Proto gear, expecting an entertaining match with a bunch of low-end one and two star gear that you never really see otherwise.

That is not what happened.

Instead, I got put into a game with players in five star gear. Every single time I got killed, it was by a five star weapon. There might have been a couple of armor pieces that weren't five star, but all of the ones I positively identified certainly were. And I was in my proto gear. It was still mildly entertaining, but also largely futile.

So, what gives? I thought the lockdown system was supposed to divide people into tiers based on their gear? Is this just false? As of yet unimplemented? Was this just an error?

Lockdown would definitely be cooler if it had active and functional lower tiers. I haven't done anything close to rigorous testing, but I have to say that, as of now, I am disappointed.
