With the new emphasis on shielding,
What about a shield launcher (could be classified as mine layer?)
Like the Vulture or Jokkubu (?) where it drops a shield that lasts X seconds at the aim point?
Maybe Relic version of shields?

Combined with a sniper weapon, it’d make the ultimate support rig for those capture the flag missions! Plop a shield down there to protect your brawlers, then snipe anyone who gets close to them.
huh
sitting there where your shield is… you might as well use what is already in game.
I mean you can shoot a shield over to them while laying a defensive line of mines away from them.
Like hey, that guy over there is getting focused “plop-shield” … maybe while you are dropping turrets in a triangle.
this would be a good one for snipers, and medium ranged builds.
Though I would make it a legendary upgrad to barrier.
Valkyrie
rarity: legendary
ammo: 6
reload time: 20 seconds
perk: launches cloaked shield drones, that boost allied damage if their shield breaks.
drone stats
HP: 50
time to live: 15 seconds
activation time: 3 seconds (time it takes to cloak and activate shield)
shield health: 1,000
area damage boost: 10% on shield break.
I want this.
Yeah it doesn’t have to increase damage upon breaking. That is just way more balance issue imo.
Just being able to shield someone that is being focused from a distance is quite powerful by itself.
I am not sure why everyone thinks it would be good for snipers?
Relic or Legendary = you can aim it at distance. That’s it. That is the only perk.
Shoots like Jokubo, each ammo round is two shots.
Absorbs 3000 (insert appropriate amount) damage, lasts 3 seconds.
15 second cd. (can use bigfoots/cheetah or reloader module)
Awards participation points per 500 dmg blocked per match.
5 energy.
Ammo limit 12 (hardcap, unaffected by ammo box or genesis).
you do know the barrier 9 exists alongside the nova cabin and aegis right…? what is even the point of having a projectile / land mine “shield” ??
The answer, I wound think, is obvious.
You could deploy it remotely to protect the rest of your team.
I thought I said that.
barrier 9 can do that to. are you referring to a flying drone that can put out a shield like the barrier 9? or like a metallic shield that shields them from harm??
Barrier IX requires you to drive where you want it deployed.
Imagine launching a barrier IX from 200 meters away or further to a cap point, then protecting your teammates with an incinerator, tsunami, scorpion or other sniper weapon while they cap.
None of these are aimable from distance. One must think of more than oneself when running a support vehicle.
i get that. so your suggesting a flying drone that can produce a defensive barrier like the barrier 9?
or perhaps one thats launchable like a flying drone?
This.
