Why? Forgot about melee?
The_Truth:
Well, hopefully it would be less like a shield and more like a lightsaber...xD
But if melee users could have swords and shields it would even the playing field agains gun users
Ymeogamaouas:
once again...
there is a REASON humanity evolved PAST swords and shields.
the "best" shield today, the full riot shields used by swat teams or combat squads to hide their colleagues behind are extremely heavy and unwieldy so that the person carrying them only carries the shield while other people shoot from behind him.
Even so a dedicate assault rifle/sniper rifle, MINIGUN would pass it like paper after a couple of shots.
Floodnik:
But...
This is FALLOUT. A POSTAPOCALIPTIC world. The humanity kind of went to the level of sticks and hammers in big percentage.
Plus if we would care about reality so much, the game would be unplayable.
gordulan:
actually, those are ballistics shields that you're speaking about, riot shields are normally made from plexiglass with a small amounts of metal on the rims for durability, but yes, a minigun would bypass it pretty easily, but then again, fallout is a different dimension than this world. So it wouldn't really be against the lore if the US developed some advanced shielding technology during the great war...
Tom Metzger:
Honestly yes this is still beta, BUT, right now it all depends on what your using, use a ripper my friend, or super sledge.
