I honestly don’t expect his shield to stay the same in a game this fast. Something more like the Halo bubbles would work well, can shoot out of them but they absorb incoming damage to a certain threshold.

@LifeupOmega how about alternatives for turtles like skyhammer we got arty and kira that could replace his airstrike so maybe we can get like a bubble who would stop any dammage comming for a short duration and someone with an advanced riot shield

But then people start comparing Dirty Bomb to Overwatch again

Might aswell also give Turtle a damage boost when the shields absorb incoming fire

@terminal they do anyway, just ignore these posts

imo shield like that is stupid idea and dosent fit the game, YOU NEVER GET COVER LIKE THAT ANYWAY

riot shield is better idea, walk ignoring upcoming fire! suicide plants are more effective!

should give him both deployable and slower moving riot shield

Gonna link a suggestion I made in a similar thread a while back: Click Me!

In short, I’d make the shield double up as a shield on Turtles back while not deployed covering him from head to the base of his back, and nullifying* damage through it.
This: -

  • still allows him to block off paths/set up cover on high ground, at the sacrifice of his durability.
  • makes him harder to flank/assassinate as you have to come at him from the front.
  • allows high skilled players to sponge nades and deployables for the team.
  • makes getting away from unfavourable gunfights much much easier.
  • allows Turtles to dive in for those clutch objective defuses/repairs/deliveries by turning his back to the opponent and crouching. **

*The shield on his back could have a HP pool, or simply cause a percentage damage reduction (Say 85%?), whatever feels balanced. Best part is, this change is a direct help to him mostly as an engineer. It doens’t shift him into other territories.

**Enemies would be forced to move around him to take him out, or use big cooldowns like nades and airstrikes. If need be go a little generous on his stats to give him some decent fighting power and you have someone who can make big plays.

Seriously, this is perfect! Just like a real turtle shell. Amazing idea
