New Shield Options

[Player2]

Just read someone's request for invisible weapons and they mentioned an invisible shield, letting the player use asymmetrical shoulder and glove options to bulk up their shield arm if they choose.  And while there is merit to that idea, I think we're long overdue for some new shield customization options.  So here's a few ideas of my own, and feel free to add your own.

 

• Top half of an Arbiter Drone, like you've hollowed it out and wear it on your arm for defense now
• The gauntlet of a PPD Hardsuit
• A hub cap
• The legacy Battle Axe (minus the handle)
• That round mission door on top of submarines
• Bathroom door (men's and women's options)... yes, they're big but so are riot shields.
• A seemingly insubstantial aura of fiery/steamy area (if it's good enough for the Fire and Ice Sword - Elemental to cut things, it should be good enough to block stuff)
• Trash can lid
• The "star" on top of the tree on the frozen lake of the Winter Forest map, which really appears to be just Phoenix wings shrunk down to a small size... but that could look cool on the arm.

there are a lot of shield options

but there are a few missing

I don't think there's a nature shield for example

my issue with an invisible shield is:

most armors have some type of visual animation letting you know the toggle is active

keeping my eyes on my power tray ruins immersion for me 

shield armor has zero visual animations aside from the shield itself.

I would like some kind of visual cue that my toggles are still active if/when the shield is invisible

I mean... no one would force you to use the invisible shield option, so you need the visual cue of a held shield to let you know the toggle is on then you can just choose one of the many very visible shields.

but I do like the idea of invisible shields, I'm just too lazy to look at my power bar 😅
