The point of the shield should be to cross open spaces without fear
Call me stupid... but isnt the point of the shield to protect yourself from, oh I dunno... incomeing harm???
Maybe instead of shield you ment TANK
Anyway If people are still shooting ideas for what next in T+T then how about a crossbow shotgun? Turning 1 powerfull bolt into sevral tiny less powerfull shards that wouldnt fly as far and dip quicker like the shot guns of T+T, or it could fire a number of bolts at a time but that might but a strain on ammo savin... But bolts are only used in one weapon...
A shotgun that shoots a powerfull slug (looking like the tank shells of the magnums) that when hits a wall exslodes and exspels bullets like a fragmentation grenade... Im not sure if this would be very usefull, mayby the bullets from the fragmentation could bounce, makeing it a good choice for small spaces... But the conc grenade bounces round corners pretty well so mayby this idea's irrelevant
Onto more “unique” idea’s
A heavy rocket launcher than fly’s in a heavy arc, but doesn’t do much damage, it would drops lots of little bombs in a similar pattern to an air strike
And some idea’s inspired from the serenity pack Bushi did…
Deployable walls, Deployable ladders, Deployable walkways, Deployable trampolines and so on…
Might bring a new look on the whole attack/ defence part of TDM, walls to block people coming in or can be set up as a quick shield, Just in case your crossing an open field and are suddenly overcome with fear…
Of course there is the problem of people just hiding behind these walls and using the welder continually on the wall to have infinity protection, unless walls are quite week
And maybe all the Deployable stuff could have levelling up like the serenities, so walls are a bit sturdier (but not too sturdy), ladders could become taller, trampolines could have more bounce and walkways could be longer.
That’s all I have for the moment, Love the weapon set, I always put time into my builds making sure there reasonably good and balanced ever since I got it way back
And I think that’s my rant over.
