The shield belt would go on the belt slot, and when activated it would have a small shield around the user that stops lasers / bullets.

Either a fixed battery or inserted batteries would be used to power it, with fixed batteries probably having different shield belts with different energy storages, or just inserted batteries that would decrease as bullets / lasers hit them over time and would have to be recharged.

(I totally didn't just rip this from rimworld or something haha..) WOULD MAKE NON-SHIP PVP A LOT BETTER AND IT'D BE REALLY NICE FOR EXPEDS.

Not sure this is a good idea but if it does get added I feel like it should be a research item maybe

#

Also copy Rimworld more and make it so you can’t fire a ranged weapon while using it

so I can have this shield while still holding another shield with my off hand?

#

with a syndi webvest would be insane as well

Not being able to fire a ranged weapon would probably just benefit onis who would run shield belt + any melee weapon probably the new katana that got added.

#

Maybe reduced rate of fire while the shield is on would be a better idea then just cutting it out.

#

Or reduced damage

crazy combo

#

ballistic shield alone is like 70% damage reduction from pierce

i’d say this should either not completely block bullets or it should make you unable to fire guns effectively

Be careful with shields or things that stack... there was a time when with all the defense stacking and reflects... some people make immortal syndi borgs immune to all damage mostly, funny sure... but when one entity can solo 30 people is just silly... speaking of the borg incident long time ago.

rogues will have them within under a hour of shift starting just by stealing them
