Shield Weapon Combos for Zealots and Veterans!

Repost and Reworking of a topic i had forever ago, SHIELDS!
Title says it all, please add a Shield weapon for Veterans and Zealots!


Tempestus Scions Subjugator Patrol
we technicly got this shield as a Cosmetic for the Ogryn slab shield.
but i still would like a Shock Maul Shield Combo.

Scout Shield Arbites

Kill Team Imperial Navy Breachers

Arbites Enforcers

i feel that theirs a case to be made to add these,

Universal options could have a Shock Maul or Cadian ChainSword. balancing them with sluggish movements when blocking and the shield is out, slower swing speeds.
Special attack could be standard of the Shock Maul and ChainSword but slower.

Zealot options could have a Thunder Hammer wielded one hand. again balancing them with sluggish movements when blocking and the shield is out longer range than other shield options but much slower swing speeds.
Special attack could be an Electric shield bash as the Thunder hammer is placed against the shield as its bash having a stun as well as knockback.

Veteran option could have a Las Pistol / Heavy Las Pistol were you can shoot wail blocking, the catch being a low accuracy and sluggish movements, long reload times, and lower firerates.
Special attack could be overcharging the Laz pistol so it fired like an automatic but you cant stop firing until your entire magazine is empty, forcing you to reload after but for a burst of damage.

I feel the above suggestions would be good additions to the game and would add more variety to game play, run-speed, stamina bars, fire-rate and swing-speed could all be factors of balance to keep these weapons in check if need be.

Thoughts Comments Concerns?

Let me preface this by saying I am for shields and not a lore nut.

But one-handed Thunder Hammers? By the Emperor’s unholy underwear!!!

Still have no idea where this is from. It’s just a kitbash I think.

ya just tried to find it, got loads of error 404 missing messages.
seems several topics that had it were deleted or changed.
it may be kitbashed as the shields do look more Warhammer and less Wh40k.

just jumping back into Vermintide 2 their are already many options that could be added with Minimal Effort.

Vt2 Kruber Mace Shield & Sword Shield

Vt2 Bardin Axe Shield & Hammer Shield

Vt2 Keri Spear Shield

@FatsharkStrawHat
can you comment if Shields have been considered for Zealots and Veterans?
would love to know if their was any internal discussions.
if you could share, as you seem like the best to ask,

thanks again
