The Shield-Wielder is a Heavy Weapon raised in the St. Patrick's Day 2 Update, it is wielded by the Celt.
Strategy[]
Fast-forwarding into the future, this steam-like Heavy Weapon shares a great deal of its brawn with the Armed Guitar Case, only tremendously reducing its agility for more accuracy. Forcing its handler to endure, it will suffice with its good damage, range, accuracy, and tank, further helped by its decent rate of fire & reload speed. Beware, this shield is not impenetrable, and can crumble under the might of moderate builds quite quickly.
Wading through the battlefield, this weapon makes its way most often by Camping, as though has certain attributes that help it grind up enemies in mid-range, it can be better wielded in great distances, with only a minor damage drop-off in response. Shooting at opponents from Afar will provide better Suppression as handlers begin to exit stationary locations. In doing so, get ready for the battering of Shotguns, Launchers, and Bows.
