I just began a new save and was given the starter shield, I am unable to put it in the slot.

midsave, my shield just doesn't appear when i open save or teleport to anywhere, even with the shield slotted in, the only workaround is to take out and put the shield back in, but I have to do this everytime I teleport somewhere.

the shield broke when i heal myself

Is there an option to turn off npc/enemy shield bar above their head? Because me rather not seeing them. (´ - ω -`)

monsters spawn with shields since the new update. like bats etc.

hi man really cool mod. but ive run into an issue where nothing damages my shield and only damages my health directly

I dislike the choose-your-own-difficulty configurability of the mod. IMO difficulty should be stable and global, not something up to your momentary whims and personalized.

This mod made combat so fun!

I liked this mod in theory but it meant that humanoid enemies were invulnerable obstacles in the early game. Just doesn't mesh with my mod set.

it works pretty much the same as shields do in borderlands, shock is effective against shields and some shields can roll special parts that give you immunity against certain elements
Mabra Dec 12, 2024 @ 3:52am 
So all shields are weak to electric but resist the other 3 elements ?
There's no different shield that has different element resistances ?

to be clear having one equiped not the ui is what causes the loss of connection
Lance Axiom Dec 11, 2024 @ 8:19am 
ive been having an error in multiplayer where it disconnects other players if any person put on a shield. anyone know why?
OromisElf Nov 20, 2024 @ 7:54pm 
is it normal for the shields from the special reward bag you get from the final quest to be only tier 1?
OromisElf Nov 13, 2024 @ 12:21am 
nvm it just doesn't update immediately
OromisElf Nov 12, 2024 @ 11:47pm 
When I try to upgrade a shield via FU's precursor crucible, it correctly increases cost, but not actually any stats - making some boss dropped shields sadly useless :(

I made a patch for this mod to (hopefully) fix an issue where you get the "attempt to index a nil value (field 'itemSlots'" error and random NPCs die.

Any addon to separate where the shield is equipped from the configuration of the shield itself? It would be annoying knowing that everyone who enters a game will be able to modify how the item works... or separate the NPCs and the monsters?
Lexor of Midgard Oct 6, 2024 @ 11:36pm 
Hello! Is it possible to make it such that only humanoid npcs get shields? Seeing it on random alien animals is a bit weird haha!

I can't spawn any shield, be it random or unique. Command simply won't give me anything. Any ideas?
Yuna Jul 27, 2024 @ 4:38am 
theres also an issue with npc shields causing an error resulting in npcs just dying on spawning "[string "/npcs/blshieldnpc.lua"]:139: attempt to index a nil value (field 'itemSlots')"

How about a variant that has quicker charge and reduced delay, but consumes energy while charging? Could call it "Overclocked".
Mr.PoopyButthole Jul 3, 2024 @ 2:57pm 
can you make them all upgradeable
Spectre Finite Jun 21, 2024 @ 1:39pm 
Thank you for making this mod adds a lot to the game. Wish their were more mods that add unique effects to gear like these shields and augments. Very well done no problems so far.

@Ruin: The resistances only apply to the shield and are only visible in the interface. And about retainer, it seems I need to add more allowed types of melee weapons, and also find them.

@Aldran: Increases damage for all your shield's abilities.

@rrichard: I don't know if an inventory slot can be added, though, I haven't tried.

And about the above bar, I'd guess a texture change should be enough, it would be a separate mod.
space is cool Jun 11, 2024 @ 11:31pm 
and the fact that the options to hide those bars are not working.
space is cool Jun 11, 2024 @ 11:31pm 
while this is a cool mod, had to unsub because the hiding shields above head option was not working at all, not even the player one. having shields is cool, but the obnoxious bar above everyones head is just oof
Aldran Jun 8, 2024 @ 3:03am 
what does the damage multiplier option do?
Myta May 13, 2024 @ 4:07pm 
I know this is a real big dumb ask from either yourself or the community, but would it be possible to add a slot for the shields in the inventory instead of the hotbar? I'm not sure how it'd work but I think for the fake of accessibility it may be better that way for newer players who want to consolidate their equipment to a single location

I've noticed that under the "BL Shields Configuration, Diff" part that lists my current resistances. My resistances don't change regardless of wether I equip a shield that gives me resistances or not. Is this because I need to have Frackin Universes or no? Also, I've been using the "Retainer", and I've noticed that when I melee attack the "Melee Attacks heal" effect doesn't heal me.
FelmastProMcLane  [author] Mar 15, 2024 @ 9:11pm 
I know it's been a while but:
@Lekoda: Some resistances are not stored in the usual stats, because they are only for the shields or don't have a name that FU uses, they should still work.

@The Lone Wolf: Imma check it out.

@Lexor of Midgard: By farm animals, you mean Fluffaloos and chickens?, yeah, I should be able to omit those.

Currently, many reports about shields not working in some or all forms have reasons unknown to me, my current guess is GIC and Betabound, so I'll start with those.

This thang has saved me from an otherwise fall thousands of time.
6 of 6 stars, always an survivor.
Lexor of Midgard Feb 26, 2024 @ 12:56am 
Hello I recently downloaded this mod and I like it, it's alright.

Only problem is I see a lot of my farm animals have shields too, its a bit immersion breaking lol. Any way to fix that?
TheMasterLag Feb 12, 2024 @ 8:22pm 
when i am healing me the shield decrease an then broke idk if this is a bug or not
King of dying comedically Jan 16, 2024 @ 8:54pm 
so thats why my shields weren't working...
Chet Walters Jan 16, 2024 @ 7:28pm 
I got a really wierd problem with this mod. I play with GrowthRPG and as a Neki. When I put on the BL2 shield, the shield meter appears but does not protect me at all. Only my crew members when they have it equipped?
☥¤§ÑîGHTMÃRɧ¤☥ Nov 23, 2023 @ 9:18pm 
how come your weapons for Borderlands 2 will not spawn in randomly?
Leon Nov 11, 2023 @ 10:38pm 
Love this mod buddy. My kids and I love BL2. and this just give us a lot of good time in SB with BL2 good feeling. Can you also make shields work with Pets too. just make SB more fun. Also. Bee become useless for high damage guns because the flat add damage. the old % add on will work better. TY.
Konserfennekinoviy Nov 8, 2023 @ 2:08pm 
if shield on character you can't perfect parry when use weapons from Galaxy in conflict. It's new bug, erlier it works fine
The Lone Wolf Oct 23, 2023 @ 3:43pm 
This mod is incompatible with https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2994620360 i think, anyways keep up the good work
Plazmawave~ Oct 22, 2023 @ 7:03am 
不知道为什么,使用汉化以及该MOD情况下正常使用,取消订阅就出现这个问题: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2695235957

UI位置不对的问题

the absorb shield still doesn't work, they almost never spawn and when npcs spawn with them they die instantly

(LuaException) Error code 2, [string "/items/buildscripts/buildrandGenshield.lua"]:154: attempt to index a nil value (global 'randgenblshieldmanufacturers')
King of dying comedically Sep 3, 2023 @ 6:50pm 
any reason why shields just kinda not work randomly sometimes? its kinda annoyin
Lekoda Aug 10, 2023 @ 11:37am 
For the adapted shield like the negotiator. I notice the added resistance doesnt appear on characters resistance sheet in FU. Some other shields that grant resistances do though.

I guess only the adapted shields doesnt? The resistances work fine though as I tested getting hit with electric which did 14 damage and after being adapted it did 7.
Rawr'kraine 🐉 Jul 18, 2023 @ 11:47am 
Yeah, I find that you can adjust the BL2-difficulty modifiers for the player and enemies separately to be a very nice touch you put into this mod.
ODevil Jul 18, 2023 @ 10:54am 
ok, thanks
FelmastProMcLane  [author] Jul 18, 2023 @ 9:29am 
It only changes elemental resistances, ex: shields become more resistant to fire but weaker to electricity.
The "shield resistances" below "Enemy Difficulty" are the values used.
ODevil Jul 18, 2023 @ 6:29am 
How does Player Difficulty and Enemy Difficulty work?
I'd expect the latter to make enemies (or at least those with shields) more difficult. But idk about the former, what does it change?
