In the context of heavy machine gun users this would enhance their ability to create a fortified area of denial; however, this would be at the expense of their awareness capabilities. Thus further requiring the need of a partner or squad compliment, such as a dedicated repair logi standing outside the bubble calling out target vectors.

Rather than making the distortion a property of the suit, why not make it a property of the bubble? As they shoot through the bubble, the bubble has a ripple effect that increases the difficulty of seeing through the bubble on both sides. Eventually, the bubble would be impossible to see through for both sides.

This would add both pros and cons to being in the bubble while it is too blurry to see through.

Since the people inside the bubble can't see out while firing continuously, enemies can easily flank the bubble and jump inside to kill the occupants. However, those outside also can't see inside, so they could jump in expecting a lone heavy and find a heavy with two shotgunners.

Another thing I would like to see is for the shields to be neutral. In other words, shots outside the shield damage the shield, shots inside the shield wont. This way if someone from team A plants a shield bubble, someone from team B can run in, kill them, and use the bubble for themselves.

it b easier if the bubble was indestructible but was time based. proto versions just last longer than the previous tiers and have more bubble radius

So all variants would be able to protect the occupant from an orbital strike?

I can get on board with that.

glad, but i dont see this feature beeing implemented soon
