You've obviously never used it, then. The ballistic shield can indefinitely block small arms fire, which means everything short of rockets and cannon fire on Bots. Even then, it can take several rockets and survive. It also has the advantage of being operational even when on your back. The energy shield has a health pool drained by everything, and is only on when you're holding it.
The ballistic shield needs a crazy buff or something to keep relevant
The ballistic shield has significantly more uptime and wont break from small arms fire. It also protects all of your body.

@@FormerBunsenBurner yeah but on any higher difficulty it’s useless with all the rockets flying at ya
real especially against the illuminate the ballistic shield feels like a paper shield
It should block melee too
Can you use the directional shield in a prone position?
Yes you can
also eagle 500kg bomb can be blocked at medium range when it would normally kill you
The wall behind you still says “Fatality”
0:16 PLEASE SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?!?
The directional shoeld being activatable inside mechs seems like a huge oversight and I expect it to get patched pretty quickly.
How’d you use it with the mech?
Sit in mech and use stim
@@Cornzzz_Games ah ok thx. Just saw your video on it. But my keybind for aim is the same as firing the left arm so it could be problematic
@@Cornzzz_Games The stim button activates the shield? Really? I'll have to try that, that looks so cool
@@mecrac yep
you can also use the same glitch on weapon emplacements like the HMG and AT
But you cant block melee attacks
i hope they give us a shield that blocks melee…
@Snake-d6i yeah dude, we really need it
