I'm down with an extended timer as long as when not in use the shield regenerates.

@ProbablySinning I even like this idea! We just need something in place where if I shoot and break his shield, he can't take two seconds to step aside and have it again. Even the shield regenerating HP would be dope.

  @jonesy0218 I'm a little confused by this Jonesy. I've never counted but it takes a long time for my shield to start regenerating on its own. Chances are that Gibraltar stepped behind cover and popped a shield cell to get his gun shield back which is something I often do. Gibraltar is the only character you'll see me carrying 18 shield cells on just to abuse that shield.
  If your issue is how quickly he can dive back into a fight after you've broken his shield then you'd need to take away his ability to recover his gun shield with items. If that's what you want then his gun shield will need to naturally START recovering somewhere around 5 seconds after its broken instead of the insanely long time it takes now.
