* New Shields and Sprites for them (#81615) ## About The Pull Request Updates shield sprites to new more polished and 3/4 perspective ones. <details>  </details> Adds 2 new shield types: - **Improvised Shield.** Made out of 10 iron sheets and 2 sticky tape pieces. Weaker then buckler shield and breaks after 2 gunshots or 4 baton hits, but has a 50% (BASE FOR ALL OTHER SHIELDS) blocking chance instead of 30% that buckler has. Bulky - **Ballistic Shield.** Printed at Security Techfab for a lot of titanium after getting weapon research. Strong against projectiles, but weaker than riot shield against melee. Bulky Both of these shields break, and both of them are their own subtype. As such you can still only craft strobe shield with a riot shield. ## Why It's Good For The Game The sprites of shields were very ancient and extremely flat, this gives them a more refreshed look. Ballistic Shield is added because Riot Shield was weakened against projectiles, Ballistic Shield gives the crew a way to get access to protection against projectiles at some point in the round. Improvised Shield adds a second improvised shield in the game (after Buckler Shield). It's balanced by being weaker than Buckler, but higher block chance, this adds an interesting choice for players on which shield to craft. ## Changelog :cl: add: Adds 2 new shields to the game! Ballistic Shield - researched by Science, and Improvised Shield - made out of iron and sticky tape image: Riot, Strobe, Telescopic, Energy shields got new less flat sprites! /:cl: * New Shields and Sprites for them * Update screenshot_antag_icons_loneinfiltrator.png --------- Co-authored-by: DrTuxedo <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Mal <[email protected]>
