Slab Shield Marks Ideas

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion

Just a few idle ideas I had for Marks for the Slab Shield:

  1. Spiked Slab
    Instead of using Special Attack to deploy it & have functionally infinite blocking; This idea deploys the shield & spikes pop out of the front.
    It has a 20% reduced stamina drain over normal blocking, so stamina CAN run out.
    Anything attacking in melee gets a percentage of the hit reflected back onto them.

  2. Concussive Slab
    This shield is more for an Ogryn who never slows down. When they block attacks with normal right-click, the shield starts storing concussive energy.
    Special Attack will spend that store energy to damage everything in a cone in front of the Ogryn.
    The amount of charge determines how much knockback/knockdown & damage the blast does.
    If the shield has not taken damage for a short period of time; The charge will bleed away. So no storing a big blast ‘for later’!

  3. Electric Slab
    When the shield is deployed with Special Attack, it electrifies. Enemies hitting it take a small amount of damage and will become Electrified for the purposes of Blessings that benefit from that.
    The weapon is also an Electric Maul.

I would like a parry weapon for Ogryn, not gonna lie. Light shield + Cleaver would be great for it.

Just give me the slab shield with a power maul.
It is what the tabletop models have and even the current slab shield & battle maul is just called the slabshield_powermaul in the game files

Ogryn get these little bucklers called Brute Shields. Maybe we’ll get one.
