The Boom Shield was mainly used and dropped by Maulers, but Drones and Gears are capable of using the shield as well. Maulers, Drones and Gears will crouch behind the shield to reduce exposure to damage, severely limiting movement speed. While the Mauler can use an explosive flail in conjunction with the shield, Drones and Gears are limited to using only pistols, such as the Gorgon Burst Pistol, the Snub Pistol and the Boltok Pistol. Users can still use melee attacks and obtain ammo. Boom Shields can be dropped by switching weapons in the inventory away from the pistol. Boom Shields also protect the user against Razorhail. A player will automatically lift the shield when in Razorhail; however, the player cannot use any weapon while using the shield against Razorhail. The Boom Shield has a

abstract	The Boom Shield was mainly used and dropped by Maulers, but Drones and Gears are capable of using the shield as well. Maulers, Drones and Gears will crouch behind the shield to reduce exposure to damage, severely limiting movement speed. While the Mauler can use an explosive flail in conjunction with the shield, Drones and Gears are limited to using only pistols, such as the Gorgon Burst Pistol, the Snub Pistol and the Boltok Pistol. Users can still use melee attacks and obtain ammo. Boom Shields can be dropped by switching weapons in the inventory away from the pistol. Boom Shields also protect the user against Razorhail. A player will automatically lift the shield when in Razorhail; however, the player cannot use any weapon while using the shield against Razorhail. The Boom Shield has a unique execution when a player presses 'Y' near a downed enemy. The player's character will raise the Boom Shield with both arms and crush/smash the enemy's spine. The shield also allows use of a pistol's zoom capability. Boom Shields are not limited to use as personal shields; they can be planted into the ground, creating cover for any player. Players can take cover on both sides of the Boom Shield at the same time. Unlike regular cover, players can move over the Boom Shield even if a player is taking cover on the other side. However, Boom Shields planted into the ground can be kicked down, even if a player is taking cover behind it. Possessing a Boom Shield does not make any character impervious to all damage. Shield users are vulnerable from the sides, back, and the feet, which are not protected in any way from gunfire. Mortars are capable of bypassing the Boom Shield by raining down bombshells from above. Bolo Grenades can kill shield users if they explode behind the user. Players also suffer a decrease in mobility as their walking and turning speed decreases, and are incapable of performing combat rolls or moving into or over cover. However, players still retain the ability to Roadie Run, though at a reduced speed.
