Tactical Shield Overhaul Mod FAQ
6 questions players actually ask, answered.
How does the Tactical Shield Overhaul Mod change the way shields block damage?
Instead of blocking 100% of incoming damage, shields now reduce damage by a customizable percentage. This means some damage will still get through even while actively blocking.
Do I need to actively block to get protection from a shield?
No. Simply holding a shield in your offhand grants passive protection, even without raising it to block.
Do all shields provide the same amount of protection?
No. Different shields offer varying damage reduction values, so the shield you choose affects how much protection you get.
Can the damage reduction percentage be changed?
Yes, the percentage of damage that shields block is customizable. This lets you tune how much protection shields provide.
What happens to damage that isn't blocked by a shield?
Since shields no longer block 100% of damage, the remaining portion still reaches you. You'll take reduced damage rather than none at all.
Is there a guide available for this mod?
Yes, a Tactical Shield Overhaul Mod Guide has been written for it. It covers how the mod's shield mechanics work.
