Wizard's Spellshield Doesn't Protect Against Shotgun Stun

[Derkolm]

See title.

Spellshield is supposed to protect against projectiles. Spellshield, last I tried to mess with it, did not protect against your average barman shotgun murder. Though admittedly this was a long while ago, and it may have been resolved? I didn't see it mentioned on changelist, so probably not. I only just now recalled the bug, though, so this is probably late reporting.

How to reproduce this bug: Finally get wizard after literally months of trying, select spellshield as part of your loadout, get shot at by the barman immediately after entering the station via the bar. Death is the result but not a necessary element of reproducing the bug, followed by more months of being unable to get wizard.

Yeah the same thing happened to me last time I used spell shield

...do the shotguns even fire proper projectiles? I never see any when I bust out the shotgun as a barman and/or traitor.

They do fire projectiles for sure

Yep it doesn't seem to work. Killed a wizard very recently because of this. Felt bad.
