Description
Balistic Shields

Update june 2021: now features shields for sparks (thanks to Iridar and Claus)

This mods adds three tiers of ballistic shields as secondary items.

From the default classes rangers and specialists and

from Musashis classes the samurai, specops, infiltrator and rpgo can equip shields.

Gameplay

Shield go in secondary item slot and will work with all primary weapons except cannons and sniper rifles for obvious reasons.
The primary secondaries mod allows you to use shields with melee weapons and pistols.

Shields grants 6/10/14 shield points and half cover to allies but impose a -1 mobility and -10 aim penalty.

Provides the Shield Wall ability that replaces hunker down.
Works like hunker down but can be used outside cover and provide full cover for allies.
While the shield wall is in effect the soldier has a -20 defense penalty.

Additionally shields allow you to make a melee attack with your shield that leaves your opponent disoriented.

Tier 1 is a starting item.

Tier 2 is unlocked by medium armor.

Tier 3 is unlocked by heavy armor.

Is it possible to set this in a utility slot as well? I'm having issues where, as a secondary weapon for a ranger or melee weapon user, the weapon being in a primary or utility slot, will not activate their skills based on melee weapons.

One of my mods allows me to be able to make it either super small or disappear completely; I think this is the one.

perhaps the most niche request of the month:

I have always disliked the aesthetic of shields. Is there a mod/ option that either
a) makes shields invisible? (not preferred) or
b) makes the shield an ephemeral "light" emanating from a device held in the hand?

@Victor de Noir I found it best to be used with Shield Rework mod, but keeping some ablative points (I reduced it to 3/6/10, I think)

Fun mod. Does anyone know how to stop lower tier shields appearing in the weapon list? I have alloy shields, but can still select the regular ballistic shield. I would like the higher tier shields to replace the lower tier ones. Thanks.

Is this balanced?

What I get:
1. It nearly doubles my health
2. I get this for free
3. I don't need to upgrade the shields
4. Adds additional utility to a class by providing a melee attack and cover / high cover to others

What I pay:
1. minor mobility reduction
2. minor aim reduction (on a class that is normally not aim reliant anyway)
3. minor defense decrease (but I can still use cover)

(I installed this mods as a part of the frost legion enemy pack and gave it a try as a consequence. No one is forcing me to use shields and given the strength of my opposition, it may make sense to use them).

Yes it does.
