At the moment you will die instantly from an RPG or impact grenade (Not sure about C4).
I would suggest to make the riot shield break and fall down after a explosive impact. The player would not be able to reequip the shield but should survive, maybe bleeding and disorientated like when you crash with an heli.
#Riot shield buff, breaks when hit with explosion
quasi girder
urban lichen
this is a great idea, it would promote people actually using the riot shield when pushing and things like that
sacred sundial
Like the idea.
