[2021] Is Osa a better shield than blitz?

Originally posted by Jimmy: it's gonna make impacts more important that is for sure

Agreed. The difference between her and Blitz as OP mentioned is the fact she can't charge or use any kind of weapons with it out. I don't even think she can melee either while the shield is equipped, so it puts her at a slight disadvantage since you have more options on how to approach her than say Blitz since he's a terrifying menace lol.

I'm interested to see how she's used in a team setting and how her presence will change how defenders set up and hold sites. I'm grabbing practically every thread in regards to feedback, so give me as much as you can!

I'm actually not sure. I didn't get a chance to test this op before the announcement, but I would imagine that would be a realistic expectation for impacts and other explosives to break the device while it's in her hands.
