Tbh this is a good idea! Since it appears that gunspamming won't be going away anytime soon then this is a great idea!

this will never get implemented as gege will come and downvote with 100 people

I would be up IF the shield applied a certain degree of slowness rather than being disabled upon an melee hit, like an swat rifleproof shield for a certain realism.

good idea lets make all guns useless!

how is this making guns useless it adds skill to gun spamming as you cant just gun spamm without thinking anymore.

"it adds skill to gunspamming"
No the shield literally disables gun damage by right-clicking, therefore guns are made useless.

Why not get more skill to avoid gunfire, you can't just stand out in the open without thinking anymore.

Keep in mind that guns can/will be paired with these too

So that sniper in the distance will be even harder to hit since they just hold right click and invalidate your attempt.

Solution to make this balanced / prevent people from charging out from the shield:
Apply a mining fatigue debuff while in use that lasts 2 seconds (so you are delayed when switching off from the shield) and either prevent enchants, or lower durability since no shield can stop multiple clips from a rifle.

You can't balance out a feature that will make you invincible. 2 Seconds of mining fatigue is akin to nothing.

Ah yes... Zaify isn't nerfing or outright removing guns, so now the pvp sweats have moved onto doing so indirectly. I admire their discipline and perseverence, however I assure you gentlemen Zaify is quite committed to guns for the time being, and everybody can see that this is an attempt to nerf guns. A for effort though.

perhaps you would need to hold 2 shields- one in each hand- so that gun spam isn't completely useless

Does this mean i can get a shield that can only be lowered by guns so i am immune to sword damage in close range :D

(y'know, to give guns more survivability in close range)

King stanchez that is what a normal shield does

bruh has it rly gotten so bad that we need to create new items and concepts from scratch to balance how ridiculous gun spamming has become ? lmao

Just saying theres actualy a diffrent name for this it is a riot shield.Its used irl and in other games
