Many viking groups were looking forward to Round Shields being added into the game. They could've used it in formations. At the moment they cant use the Targe as it can't be held up. However , recently Jax said that round shields won't be added as they require too much work to be fixed. Help this cause ! Assist the viking-enthusiasts ! Moderators on the official Mordhau discord have argued that adding a Viking shield would be too much work for a new weapon that would basically just be a reskin. Well how about if some new mechanic would be added , like being able to bash while holding the shield up ? It would make people want to use this new weapon , and I believe it could add more diversity to the current meta. It would work exactly like a kick but it would deal more damage , and stagger opponents for a litlte while longer , and would be countered either by another shield-bash or a kick. Of course , it would cost as much as a decent weapon , since it gives you an obvious advantage.
