Yes, I'm recreating this thread to pop it back into discussions (well, since forum updated itself from that unofficial into official). I'll try to keep it minimalistic this time:
You may have seen people building stuff, eh? And keeping their current active slot as the block? Well, I've been wondering if that could cover you a bit from bullets, with a some kind of a durability until they break and leave you unarmed for a couple seconds. Even though this sounds pretty stupid, I've seen lots of different situations where an enemy could have survived an unfortunate destiny from my bullets, while they were just building rather usele- useful fortifications.
Crouching makes you a bit more covered from the front, obviously.
Even though this can be overlooked by the people who nearly always aim for the head only, sure this doesn't prevent anyone from doing it normally. But this can be very, very useful for the people who are building covers in the fields (meaning the people who rush forward, quickly crouch and build some cover on front of them, preventing to get shot immidiately).
Not a gamebreaker I'd guess, also techically possible for sure.
So what do you think about it?
