Zombie RPG - Design Update - Shield and Bracers

Brian Mitsoda, Double Bear Productions, shares information about the shields and bracers we'll be equipping in this game.

Shields and bracers must be carried in the secondary weapon slot to be considered equipped, but they are never a primary weapon. Bracers can be worn without impacting operation of a two-handed weapon. Shields, due to their size and needing a free hand to hold them, cannot be used with two-handed weapons. This means that to get the benefit of a shield, the player has to have a one-handed weapon (either melee or ranged) in their primary slot.
