Just noticed, in a fight,
my Riot Shield gets used even if i have enough Body Armor to cover all mob?
I thought..
Body Armor = 15 DEF
Riot Shield = 6 DEF ?

If you attack you're using the attack stat if an item. Riot shield has higher attack stat than body armor.

That is correct. When you are defending the shield will be put away.

Ya I don't get it.
Anyways I had a thought. You should be able to use both body armor and riot shields but when using both you have to use a weapon that only requires 1 hand. You can choose to equip this setup under manage inventory.
Also it would be nice if things like molitov, grenades and rpg had splash damage. Not sure how that would be worked in though.

Well they could work in the same way bullets work. 1 time use, expensive to buy and high upkeep. Obviously, rich players will stack up however, it wouldn't make sense to stack em' if upkeep is high. That way they're only purchased when needed an they'd have to be introduced as a 4th att weapon.
