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.

This doesn't seem to work with True Primary secondaries

It seems the Alien Hunters Crossbow is a little broken with the shields as it goes full auto and just fires a bunch of projectiles whenever used with it. Would love if it could be excluded. For now I've just made the shields only usable with pistols, smgs, bulpups and swords.

Fix for spark shield for LWOTC, Look at @Lemistios for the soldier fix.

Add code to XcomLW_Overhaul.ini

+ItemTable=(ItemTemplateName="SparkBallisticShield_MG", Slots=3, Starting=false, Infinite=false, Buildable=true, RequiredTech1="PlatedArmor", RequiredTech2="", SupplyCost=70, AlloyCost=3, CrystalCost=5, CoreCost=1, SpecialItemTemplateName="", SpecialItemCost=0, TradingPostValue=35, RequiredEngineeringScore=40, Tier = 179,PointsToComplete=300, InventoryImage="img:///WoTC_Spark_Shield_UI.Inv_Plated_Shield")
+ItemTable=(ItemTemplateName="SparkBallisticShield_BM", Slots=3, Starting=false, Infinite=false, Buildable=true, RequiredTech1="PoweredArmor", RequiredTech2="", SupplyCost=100, AlloyCost=5, CrystalCost=5, CoreCost=1, SpecialItemTemplateName="", SpecialItemCost=0, TradingPostValue=35, RequiredEngineeringScore=40, Tier = 179,PointsToComplete=300, InventoryImage="img:///WoTC_Spark_Shield_UI.Inv_Powered_Shield")

this mod very cool for my tank class

Shields are making arms & legs disappear. Is there a fix?
CantankerArt 22 Apr @ 3:06am 
it seems the animation won't play when using shield bash..anyone had this before/got a fix? Using True Primary Secondaries (Beta) if thats perhaps a cause?

seems like there's a bug with Lost Tower mission : the BIT is replaced by a shield for the SPARK, softlocking you from completing the mission.

Cool looking mod but there's a weird bug when using the shield. The soldier loads into a mission and then can't move at all, ever. They don't see the movement UI grid and just can't do anything.

Cannot equip anything but basic ballistic shield (normal soldier, don't have any Sparks or augmented soldiers).
I have basically finished the tech tree, the option to research or build improved shields has never appeared. Playing with Amalgamation + Covert Infiltration + 5 tier weapon system.

is there a way to disable the aim debuff on specific shields?
