Description:

This mod adds 6 attachments/upgrades you can install on your Ballistic Shields.

I shamelessly recommend you go grab my other mod Upgrade Slot Breakthrough for Melee Weapons so as to get an extra upgrade slot on your shields.

The following attachments, with the standard 3 tiers of Basic, Advanced and Superior:

1. Alloy Upgrades which give increasing chances to deflect incoming projectiles.
2. Bullseye Modules which forces enemies to attack you.
3. Breaching Modules which makes the shield-equipped soldier break through walls and obstacles. Incompatible with Fold Module.
4. Fold Modules, a short-range teleport device. Incompatible with Breaching Module.
5. KnockRush Systems which increase the damage from your shield bash attacks the further you start from your target and also destroys its cover.
6. Siphon Matrices which grant yourself and allies ablative (shield) points on non-Lost kills.

Pretty much all these values can be freely edited through *.ini config.

All of the attachments have visual effects attached to their ablities.

KNOWN BUGS

None so far, but do let me know in the comments if any creep up.

FAQ

Q: How do I get my hands on these?
A: from enemies’ timed loot drops. You have a 25% chance of getting a shield attachment on any drop. This is on top of regular loot, it will never replace a vanilla weapon upgrade.

Also from the following enemies base loot, which is the loot you get automatically when you return to the Avenger on non-evac missions (consists only of enemy corpses in un-modded games). 50% drop chance.

• ADVENT Shieldbearers
• ADVENT Priests
• ADVENT Destroyer Commandos from [WOTC] Advent Psi Ops
• ADVENT Bio Assault and Heavy Bio Assault Troopers from [WOTC] Bio Division 2.0
• Asari Biotics, Adepts and Commandos from Asari Adepts
• Muton Elite from [WOTC] Muton Elite
• Muton Centurion Elite from [WOTC] Muton Enemy Pack

Q: Vanilla? LWOTC? RPGO?
A: No, no, yes.

Q:Can I use this mid-campaign?
A: sure.
