Just a heads up, the new riot shield is now animated. It will need textures and possibly model work, dunno.

In game shots for a rough idea of screen placement:

Whats the battery type thing on the back of the shield?

Show only or intended function?

Its a riot control shield, so its got a bunch of tazer style electrode points on the front of the shield. Whether or not that has an effect in game is up to Azarael, I just wanted to make it look a bit more interesting.

So you were thinking something along the lines of left mouse: shield bash, right mouse: hammer smash?, with block on the block button assumingly?

To be honest I have no particular ideas on how it should be implemented. Shield + hammer bash could be primary with held shield + hammer bash for secondary is just as possible. Can even have a deployed mode where you jam it into the ground (has some big ass spikes on the bottom) for use as either free standing cover or a shield wall type stance that gives you defensive buffs at the cost of mobility. I even added some animations where he holds the hammer against a conducting plate for some sort of area attack, or maybe a sustained melee fire.

Its pretty open for suggestion as far as implementation goes.
