I prefer not to use the dropwall as it’s too weak for what i want I have bounced some grenades back with it ,but that’s it… ti wasn’t on purpose… it was more of a right time right moment thing.

To bounce grenades back, I think it might be better to just use the Repulsor.
you get a medal for any grenades that bounc off the drop wall.

That’s good, but I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to get more than one of that medal…
The few times i have i had no idea…

Yeah, that’s usually how I get medals I wouldn’t normally get.
Though odd medals i have got on purpose is the one where you use the repulsor to push people off a ledge and a couple of the ones to kill people with the repulsor , pancake i think.

I did that too.
I was playing 1-sided Capture the Flag on that U-shaped map where you can travel to the other side through that treadmill-looking launcher, and when someone used it, I used the Repulsor to stop them from landing.
I got the pancake one as well, but it happened to be when I didn’t have the challenge for it…
I’ve never seen the challeng for pancake or the push of ledge one.
I’ve only gotten the pancake challenge once, but I used a swap on it.
I’m not sure if there’s a challenge for the other one.
The entire niche of Bubble Shield was that it allowed you to create a CQC choke zone where you have to force people into it to fight.
No one had any clear advantage : The fight either happens inside the Shield or outside.
Dropwall has an obvious advantage for the Dropwall’s deployment side because it let them fire through it, which then arises the question of “how strong can the wall be before it’s straight up OP?”
It’s not even the same as Armorlock, since Armorlock disabled you as well.
Dropwall has 0 disadvantage to the deployer.
I’d rather have Bubble Shields back then I guess.
However, a possible solution might be to increase wall strength while reducing the power of the weapon shots going through the wall.
i’d rather just have it take more hits but not enough to be op but it seems to me the drop wal seconds have enough health to take on second of AR Fire… with the right aim and spread you could melt a drop wall with an aR full mag dump

Or have Dropwall be a “Power Equipment” and spawn only with 1 stock, in the middle of the field and is control based.
In exchange, it can be buffed to be stronger.

That might work, but it might be difficult to balance.
That would make the challenge for defelcting grenades with it an even harder challenge and we don’t need to be making challenges even harder, the drop wall might become the ‘flag’ in slayer if the challenge comes up for that.

If they’re willing to change that, they might be willing to change the challenges.
I would hope so. because otherwise i can see it becoming a ‘flag’ in slay matches as player fight over the now power equipment drop wall.
Though I don’t see people fightin over the the oversheild or active camo ,but there are no challenges for that, at least none i have seen.

I actually see people fight over the overshield and active camo frequently.
