Yes, a riot shield. Same as Modern Warfare 2
When equipped, soldier cannot use 2-handed firearms but gave extra *front* defense point.
2 Types of riot shields :
- Earth built : Big size(carry only by hand, store only into the backpack, 2*4 size)
- Alien tech : Small size(2*3 size so it can store into the holster)
Earth built is made by Aerogel. Fire/bullet/explosives cannot penetrate it. but less effective against laser/plasma.
Alien riot shield will generate particle vaporization grid. Best for plasma/laser weapons but less effective against *mass* projectile.
After more research, scientists will find distortion field generator. it can equipped into the 'extension' slot. Give more defense, but heavier, shorter sight due to optical distortion effect.
Thanks.
