What happened to the Human Shield Mechanic? | Forums

Hi Ubisoft,

Back in Wildlands, I remember there being a more refined mechanic in terms of grabbing an enemy and using him as a human shield. Enemies actually hesitated before shooting and the human shields actually provided a viable defensive and offensive solution to the gunfights.

However, in Breakpoint, this mechanic seems to have been severely downgraded. I have tested this numerous times. Whenever I grab an enemy and use him as a shield, his friends do not seem to hesitate to fire at all and their fire seems to ignore the human shield causing me to take full damage.

My question is this - is the human shield mechanic missing due to this being just a beta? Or will it be in the full game?

2nd this I didn't think much into it at first but I grab a human shield and was instantly killed I figured a sniper got a headshot but yeah this really should get looked into.

+1 on this cause the human shields were really good in Wildlands and I felt that in Breakpoint there were so little options for holding the enemies.

I think its because different enemy type. These soldiers know if you get grabbed by a ghost you are already dead.

^ Probably that. Or maybe they're just celebrating one less biological being they need to provide for since the drones are going to be taking over...
