thanks for the comment

Quite a brilliant concept to be honest, will give a possible shift in the meta. Raiding, firefights will be open to new opportunities. If this get's published and refined, it could open up new possibilities for other unorthodox tools of battle and mechanics.

I completely agree. Thank you for your comment.

could block 90% of damage where the soft body armor is and 40% on the only metal parts but the entire shield is a hit-box when up. also you cannot fire when wielding but can use meds as they only require one hand . could be used to blitz the distance in fields.

Cool idea with gradation of shield levels) thanks for your feedback.

Shields in Rust. Interesting concept. I like it! Maybe when the shield isn't being held out, it's on the player's back, protecting them from rear attacks.

I also think there could be three tiers of shields similar to the armor tiers - wooden, road sign / barrel, and then military/high-quality.

The fact that a developer has noticed this makes me think that something like this will be at least tested + considered for the next update.

thx man
