Backpack shield needs a nerf

[Scamdiver]

It should protect from projectiles but not from melee bug attacks and charger's charges

+1 agree

[TemplarGFX]

why would it not defend against melee attacks to the front?

[Tor]

Why?

You sir must report to the closest SEAF re-education center for interrogation, undermining our superior technology for spreading democracy is a crime.

[Yagger]

hard disagree, it breaks easily with melee already

[ZermondDaggmask]

Why bother complaining when you made a post about game being dead in 1 month?

[Syrus_The_Virus]

No.

[Cellar_Cat]

Wait and see how armour goes first. Once our normal protective gear actually does anything the relative difference defensive backpacks make might not seem like so much.

because it literally says ranged projectiles in tooltip.

The rechargable shield is the only thing keeping me from losing my sanity when a random trash mob bug tackles me from 20 feet away

People wanting the game to work as intended.

It DOES NOT defend you from melee attacks if the enemy is TOO NEAR and goes inside the bubble.

Also it doesn't need a nerf, it just block 2 attacks then goes away for 10 seconds.

It is ok as it is.

My man, you don't like it? Don't use it.

EZ

[lockwoodx]

Just consider it a shield like from the Dune movies.
