Ballistic shield + another backpack

[SNAKE???]

Hear me out, the recent update on the ballistic shield has been realy dope but my curiousity on expanding its use on multiple section just got the better of me. What if, devs would allow us to carry another backpack (supply, shield, jump whatever) while being able to hold the ballistic shield when a pistol is equipped? I'd be fine if it forces me to drop the ballistic shield whenever I swap to a primary weapon tbh then I'd realy have to be aware of the location, where I put it down etc. before I make my next move. But gameplay whise it could make alot of other support weapons combos sick and the fact you've to waste an extra strategem slot already makes the sacrifice up for it.

What do you think? Either the Ballistic Shield as a side pack to a backpack, or force drop ballistic shields when you have primary weapons equipped AND a supply, shield whatever pack.

This would make picks like Spear, Recoiless rifle etc that need additional backpacks a bit more interesting to carry around.

I do believe the shield needs to be a sidearm replacement or something. It being a backpack is just completely invalidated by the bubble shield or ANY other weapon that requires the backpack slot
