Find it in Melee-Shield.
Obviously it's only for making yourself a safer sniping position, but we all know someone somewhere won't use anything in their intended use. Place on the ground or any other suitable environment, get behind, and simply poke out your rifle through the peep hole to snipe safely. Left or right pad click to switch between handles.
You can carry it only in hand or backpack slot (behind your neck). This was done to balance its protection value in relation to regular backpack's benefit of additional carrying capacity. If you like to play on custom maps with item spawner and limited ammunition, this shield may or may not give you a new loadout option to try out.
Reach all the way into the slot with your hand and let go of the shield. If you hear clanking sound, it is now stored in your back. Alternatively you can also lean forward and access the same slot through your chest.
Same information can be found at the spawn table.
=Changelog= 1.0.1 - Disabled grip rotation override. This should make it easier to adjust the shield's position. 1.0.0 - Initial release
