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.

Dedicated shield class when?
As soon as i have time for it.

So...found the fix for the "Shields not granting Ablative HP" anymore, and it is actually not this mod's problem...it is mod jam's:

Apparently MOD JAM for LWOTC is changing the ablative values for this mod's shields to 0, to make it work like the Shield Rework Mod.

If you want your shields to provide Ablative HP again, do this (bear in mind this is how I did it, I know there are other ways to access these configs I can't be bothered to find out how, lol):

1. Open the XCOM2 Alternative Mod Launcher
2. Select your Mod Jam for Long War of the Chosen Mod
3. Click on the "Config" tab
4. On the .ini dropdown, search for the "Config/Ballistic Shields/XComShields.ini" file
5. Lines 16-22 should have the SHIELD_POINTS values for all shields set to 0, as per the intended mod jam effect; modify this as you will (tip: original shield values were 6/10/14 for normal shields, 10/15/20 for SPARK shields)
6. Click on Save
7. Enjoy!

Hope this helps!

Sometimes during the gameplay the shield is not providing the bonus health it should, worked fine on the first missions, but now the shield doesn't give me nothing except the skill of shieldwall

How to get other advanced shields? i can't find any tech upgrades for the primary ballistic shield

@Inerael I am having tons of fun with the Warp Warden, it's a very groovey psi/shield defender type that brings a ton of shield to the squad.

Looks great ! Does someone know a good Shield bearer class mod ? I am on LWOTC but none of my classs can wear shield :(

I am also having trouble finding shields for the sparks. I've got all the way up to T3 shields unlocked. I've done most, if not all, of the researches. I don't see any Proving Ground project for them, and I can't build them in engineering. When I filter by category for spark_shield, I see nothing listed in engineering. I can use the shields with normal soldiers just fine. Is there any known conflicts that would prevent just the sparks from using the ballistic shields, or am I missing a step to get them unlocked? Thanks.

BUG: SPECIALIST VS GREMLIN RANGE VS SHIELD LOGIC CTD

Specialists still think they can hack at any range when equipped with a WOTC ballistic shield, this leads to an immediate crash to desktop as the game overloads on the logic and thinking simply not being there for a non-existent GREMLIN unit.

Any mods that address this issue for WOTC in the meantime?
