Being able to block attacks and small caliber bullets using a shield!

You would have to be very careful on how to add this, in other games. if done poorly, it becomes a very hated weapon. This could be nice, but if the game is going for more fast-paced gameplay I don't think they should add this.

hm what about recoil

#

you can only block 1-10 shots since your shield gets pushed to the side due to it being curved

#

if you keeo hitting the edge the shield might be pushed into the other direction

just think of ways to counter it, such as explosions knocking it out of your hands or damaging it or destroying it completely

#

its fine having things that other games hate, we just need to think of realistic ways to add viable counters to them

I like how this guy responded after two months

#

In vr games generally shields can be much more op because I can still grab a pistol with my second hand

#

Unless when you hold the shield with one hand it gets knocked around a bunch but when you hold it with two hands it's fine

#

That would negate the self defense factor of a shield making it more of a tool to check rooms (and so the teammate with it)

Hm maybe not a ballistic shield then; eventually it should break down under sustained fire

ready or not did this very well by making the damage on the shield hamper the view of the glass on the shield

Nah I mean being able to return damage while taking none is the main op factor of shields. Even if they don't have a weapon by default usually you can pull out your main weapon while the enemy is reloading (on flat screen). Another thing is the limitation or rather lack of it that vr gives you with weapons and using them in one hand that means if you have a transparent shield you can use your sights on your pistol anyways

maybe the little glass plastic bit is see through but weaker/weak point
