he should. The thing is the shield is blocking damage when not raised, that's why their left side is always protected. If shieldbro is chraging you front, large portion of his body is covered with shield hitbox, resulting in a lot of blocked shots.
Well, if it was realistic emptying a plasma gun overcharge into his side would probably rip his arm off, force field or no.
I'll tell you what's not "realistic". Emptying a Storm Bolter clip face first into him and he's still walking.
still hoping to hear back from some dev. If the shield is supposed to be largely lore accurate, the relic is being fielded much much too often. Also if we infodump from lexicanum: Those with the Mark become bloated with pestilence, their rotting flesh makes them near immune to pain and extremely difficult to kill. One of the most common bearers of this mark are the Plague Marines of the Death Guard[1] there's nothing extreme about this mark or the previous iteration (only the pistol).
That's actually meant to happen? Wasn't sure if it was intended or not, but that does seem a little unfair
Common sense, if it's so broken and OP, why doesn't the whole LSM faction run around with it, except for 2 tacticals to cap the points? Maybe some bigger guild could test that out for fun and post a vid how it went. I asked this in another thread but everyone seems to ignore it: Did anything change regarding the shield since last patch? No one complained back then - so I wonder. How about we all use dices instead of weapons - now thats balance aye?
