A question about Bugsycait AM2...

...does it block my own team's projectiles?
I was on a match today and I started using it in front of an ally ART to block the missiles from an enemy ART... but after a while he moved away from me, and I thought of the possibility that maybe I was blocking his shots too.
(I wasn't able to see anything because my screen was full of explosions, lol.)

The shield itself doesn't block friendly fire. Perhaps it's the hitbox from your robot.

Or maybe I wasn't blocking his fire at all and I'm being paranoid, lol.
Anyways, thanks.

hankzorz is correct, the Bugsy AM2 does NOT block friendly fire; it's likely it was your own hitbox....

...but if you plan on playing a Bugsy, or even it's AM2, most of the time, your role will keep you in close proximity to your art teammates, so don't be afraid to get your block on!

well... i got no problems using bugsy shield... since the wielder is S size Nicole Malice...

my main problem is... everytime they see green circle spinning... they throw everything at me...

yer own wundabitz can brock yer own gunz

maybe dat?

try make yourself small, sometime this AM can make you look like hero

more likely make yourself look like something everyone love (to blow it up)

So in other word Bugsycait Am2 is basically bait arm ? Blocking results in nearly everyone wishing to take you out as soon as posssible?

well... if you see an enemy sup swing that arm, especialy if those sup are anoyying one like nicole malice, pulsaradio or clock sigma... what ya think?

good example is nicole malice, she can deploy her WB then stand and swing that shield , let her WB do the rest of the work while she covered from the front...

i think that's why they make baltheon (air) and rouche (art) non sup...

you need to notice some gun can go through Bugsy Shield, also some wep with large AOE can go around shield too.

don't even try put shield in front of Eve Cannon

They hunt and try to kill me because my arm has a huge green propeller with super annoying sound :<

Bugsycait AM2 is useful these days for "Shock" Factory.

Shock means, no melee weapons can be used, including special abilities LIKE "Ivis' Crimson Veil and Rapier", Baltheon's "Shield", and Aquilla Girl's "Full Boost"

Its only downparts are, the arm is prone to breaking. A lot.

Up to you to what kind of gameplay you'd want with it... but yeah CB-JP hates them... they'll aim for you for sure.

it breaking cause "parry-ed" with other melle weapon ... kinda need a bit get used with it to make sure your arm not get slashed when roll out the shield. but yea, eternal Tune is very recommended

Shock disable all Sup Weapon isn't it?

Yes. ALL sub-weapons. If you shock someone, they can't shock you back.
