Foldable Shield Balance Changes

A deployed shield is a big edge against anyone caught without cover, and enables camping, so its durability comes down.

Balance Philosophy

For every weapon between A and S tier, apply one nerf to one aspect of it so it's not completely dominant on the battlefield.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Health

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Health against bullet damage reduced from 1500 to 1200 HP.
    Current issue
    When deployed, it can be a big advantage against others who don't have cover and can also be used to camp.
    Reason
    Reducing its durability can reduce potential camping.
