Staff idea (deflector)

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion

I’m having so much fun with the deflector blessing along with a bunch of block blessings that i had i thought that why not have this on a staff aswell?

The staffs main attack could be some form of damage like a shotgun blast close range (like beam staff in VT) and the secondary would be a transparent wall that blocks bullets that also charges it to release the bullets when it’s maxed out.

Or it could do the same as the boss with the shield bubble. Reducing ranged damage by ?% and blocking shots and melee attacks but the shield would take 100% melee damage and it would explode when depleted.

It would promote teamwork as the psyker can go in and tank a little bit if needed and block shots for an Ogryn that revives someone etc.

I’d like to see this!

I think that sort of mechanic make more sense as an ability or a Blitz rather than part of a weapon kit

This was suggested way back on release since the special attacks of the staffs are so useless and never get used, they should just be replaced with a deflector shield.
Power swords should also have it by default with a higher stamina cost, and the blessing should reduce that with a chance to … Wait for it…deflect back at the attacker.
