Summary
The Ballistic Shield is a melee weapon. Initially it's not going to come off as useful to some... until it blocks damage to protect you.

Background Story
This was a staple to the military while they were fending off the newly created zombies in the early outbreak. Of course, people didn't last too long while wielding this due to it's weight,

Abilities
Almost.
 * Any damage taken on the shield by a zombie will not affect you. This includes;
 * Leapers attempting to jump at you
 * Edgar's tongue
 * Diggers
 * Ticker rush
 * Doesn't protect you from the radiation after it explodes
 * If it is a direct hit on the shield, thrown Brute clubs won't kill you, but it will do *an extreme* amount of damage
 * Anywhere else is still the same
 * You can bring a handgun with you on this! This includes:
 * Steyr M
 * Colt Python
 * CK Swat
 * Luger P08
 * Ice Gun
 * Almost every gun in Free For All and Team Deathmatch should not affect you.

Controls

 * Rush: Similar to the Ticker rush. Run in a straight line in the direction you wish to face; stunning anyone who gets in the way. Does not stop until you run out of energy or come in contact with a wall/edge.


 * HoldE.pngMelee: Smack up to a minimum of 4 people for every hit in your range.

Tips

 * Use Tactical II for the stamina boost.

Counters

 * If you aren't crouching, your legs are vulnerable to damage. Includes:
 * Brute clubs
 * damage from Diggers while going up from digging
 * Weapons in Free For All and Team Deathmatch.
 * Regardless of where you're shot at, the Remington 700, Dragunov, and Barrett 50 Cal. can all bypass your shield, effectively damaging you without a problem.

Flash Shield
Based off of Blitz in Rainbow Six Siege. Costs 9,500$. This replaces the Melee (E) button for Flashbang Charges. It works the same way as the Flashbang does, except you have 6 charges. Pressing E once will blind an enemy the same way the aforementioned does.
