#Riot Shield - Points for mitigated Damage

the incentive is not dying
I believe this is a good idea, as it would provide an additional reward for blocking shots with the riot shield, besides the not dying reward.
Not so much as providing an incentive for using it, but simply providing a reward for putting yourself in enemy fire.
Maybe something around 30-40 points per shot would work, as the riot shield is unlocked at level 100, and the xp needed to level up (to my understanding) is your next level multiplied by 1,000, this would mean getting shot 1,000 times in a game would only allow you to get between 30,000 and 40,000 points, so you would need 3-2 games of being shot 1,000 times plus an additional game of getting shot close to 1,000 times in order to level up to the ranks immediately after rank 100. As you get farther from level 100, the level up requirements for only using the riot shield would increase as a result of the level up system.
As I have mused on this idea further, I am unsure as to how difficult this would be to implement into the game, I have zero experience in video game development, and there are additions to the game that would obviously take precedent over this.
But, I still believe that it would be a nice addition to the game and make the game more enjoyable.

Tiger-2 tanked 300 dmg. Promoted!
Well, 300 dmg is not that many shots, even if we take something like the Glock 18 that deals 19 dmg. 300 divided by 19 would give us 16 shots, and that would give us 640 xp if we multiply the 16 shots by 40 xp per shot, which is the top end of the xp range I offered.

Bumping doesn’t function like this comrade
My mistake, comrade.
Doesn't it already do this? I remember people using it when it first came out saying they were getting points, it just do not appear on the screen like other things. Tho I never tested if it really does.. One thing I'd rather want in the shield is a better movement, because right now it's really bad.. I just would like some way to have small jumps and the possibility of running even if it would be slower then regular
Good suggestions, my friend. The riot shield does not, in my experience, give points for blocking shots.
Having the ability to jump and some form of a sprint would make moving with the riot shield less painful.
However, balancing issues could be raised with regards to this, which is why I believe giving xp for blocked shots would be more feasible.
Nonetheless, improved movement would be desirable.
Yea I really want this to happen, shield feel great to use but considering you risk your life taking the enemy agro you should be rewarded with something
