DSMK2 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Inspired by Stalc's Infested Weapons An idea I had, an infested based shield 'Carapace', where the shield part is a regenerative bone like structure. The shield is flanked by two retracted 'arms' inspired by the redesigned infested ancient seen in one of the livestreams. The underside of the shield noninvasively merges with the Tenno's suit forming a neural interface, becoming one with the wielder. Regular melee: Shield bash and spike uppercut, 100% stagger on targets, targets hit by the uppercut are poisoned. Charged melee: Shield's arms extend outwards and grabs the nearest target, pulling the target into the shield's poisoned spike for massive damage and a heavy dosage of poison. Block: Shield's fleshy parts expands and flattens, covering itself with tough 'scabs', covering a larger area in front of the wielder, has a lower stamina cost and higher damage mitigation compared to using a non-defensive melee weapon for blocking.

Blatantfool Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 That is absolutely brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitsuAccalia Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I agree, you have my thumb, This is one of the few weapon designs I see that make me actually go.... I want that. It feels like it offers the unique feature of defense while still being a mean damager, I approve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Khaos Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 There are plenty of melee weapons as is. But this is a cool concept none the less, so +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthephonebox Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) I've been wanting, and suggesting, a melee shield for some time. This one sounds amazing! Edited June 25, 2013 by inthephonebox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mampara Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 That sounds like a viable blocking melee weapon... I would love to see this in game. +1 For the concept art all I can suggest is maybe the different modes? E.g the Blocking mod would look interesting... (in-case you felt like expanding to the look.)

Just added the 'blocking mode' image to the bottom of the OP. Imagine the shield's fleshy parts quickly expanding then growing hard scabs over it when you start the blocking animation. Once the shield takes enough hits or when the user stops blocking, the fleshy parts shrink, tearing and shedding off the scabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AscendantWyvern Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) That's sexy. I'd build something like that in a heartbeat. So why aren't you hired by DE yet? Edited July 6, 2013 by AscendantWyvern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winged-Wolf Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 this seems like it would be quite fun to use. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acegikmo Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 This is cool ,because there are people who don't really use melee weapons and there isn't 1 that can be used (almost passively) by those that just want to focus on being mage-like, rockin' abilities and maintaining distance from enemies.
