Add Assault Shield

Under considerationby Hogs · 28 Aug

For example, I have a few friends I play with, and we’re hardcore milsim players. We’d love to see a shield added to the game. It would force people to use frags more strategically.

i feel like this would just add some unfairness in how people would play using a shield and go against what the devs are going for. Wouldnt hurt to do a trial run with it though. Maybe add in that they cant run with it equipped?

a ballistic shield would be perfect for bodycam's teamwork and close quarters battle maps. it would act as a primary and could be used with a secondary, standing up only blocks legs to head and cover's all when crouch only blocks projectiles in front of player. trade-offs would be, (slower movements, can't lean, can't aim - only hip fire, immobile reloads, can still die from explosives)

If this is implemented, there needs to be a max speed limit for how fast you can turn the shield. Also, you should be unable to run with it and received melee attacks or round impacts should shift it around a little. Also, all armor fails after receiving prolonged sustained fire.
