A video showing the Shield weapon type and some of its abilities.
Shield are melee weapons with low damage output, but reduce the damage of all frontal attacks. Most importantly, they block line of sight of enemy attacks, causing the Shield user to be targetted instead of the one they are covering.
Shields also have an advantage against enemy snipers, causing all Rifle frontal attacks to be treated as point blank (next to no damage), allowing allies to be covered if enemy snipers end up joining the fray.
Competencies shown in the video include:
Shield Move - Boost move rate when a Shield is equipped. Stackable with other Move Competencies.
Stand Ground - For 60 seconds, the user receives 0 damage so long as they are stationary.
Trainwreck - Shield attack that deals 3x damage and stuns an enemy for 10 seconds. Useful for giving your team breathing room during a boss battle or other big fight.
