How cool would it be to have a jackal shield for an equipment piece?
Goes on the wrist and used like a regular shield. I think it’d work best with a battery life similar to an energy sword/drop wall hybrid. Like the drop wall in Halo 3, turned wrist
Balance wise I think a good way to work with it would be to only allow it be a one time activation that stays up after the initial activation until it received enough damage, maybe a timer too
I think once activated perhaps the player should not be able to aim down sights, to prevent some abuse of some weapons and visual clutter
Additionally, it could add value to the sandbox by being more susceptible to plasma damage like the plasma pistol and pulse carbine.
Thoughts?
