Yeah riot shield needs buffs and I am here to give my 2 cents on how it should be done.
And yes, the collision change is nice, but it needs more.
- Model changes
Due to it's model, it barely gives any protection. Window doesn't work and body parts stick out (legs, arm and small part of the head even).
I propose to make it slightly taller and change the side extention to be angled, as well as longer than they currently are (see pics below).
Another thing is to model the window into a grate of sorts, so it can block bullets more effectively while also still allowing the user to see through (again, see pics below).
- Added functionality
One of the most requested features is to give it the ability to use a sidearm, so I am giving it that ability.
However, no hipfire, you have to ADS. To ADS, press/hold RMB (right click). This will draw out your sidearm and take aim, which in the process would either tilt or move the shield to the side to do so, exposing roghly half of your body. The proccess of tilting/moving the shield to the side would be set at around half a second. Reloading would either be impossible or 2 times longer than the standard reload of the equipped sidearm.
Another function that is depicted in the pics I have sent, are the lights on it. This is really for night maps but I figured it why not. It will work like a normal flashlight on your gun, except it is tied to the shield and it will be turned off if the user ever takes aim with their sidearm. It can obviously be turned on an off.
This is how I propose for the riot shield to be buffed.
