Flash Shield (for LEFT Handed Players)
Only install ONE version of this mod! Installing more than one at a time will break all your Sideloader mods!
Download this TNH character so you can easily unlock the flash shield in the item spawner!
This version is for LEFT handed players (shield is held in right hand). Because this shield is "technically" a gun, it cannot change orientation like a vanilla H3 shield.
Adds a functioning flash shield to the game. The shield is powered by 23mm "Batteries"; spawn one from the ammo spawner, open the "battery compartment" with a side press on the touchpad, insert the "battery", and close it with another touchpad press. Activate the flash with the trigger when necessary, and then you can open the "battery compartment" up again and tilt the shield to discard the empty "battery". Note that opening the "battery compartment" primes the flash system, indicated by the status light turning green: if you hit the trigger while it's open on accident, you can just open and close it again to re-arm it. In terms of protection, the center of the shield is strongest and nearly impenetrable. Rifle rounds and more powerful can penetrate the glass if they come in at a solid angle, so mind how you fight! Also features some fancy parallax-enabled custom bullet impact decals and sounds, because getting shot at is scary and inconvenient.

What the hell is a 23mm battery? Okay, nerd, I'll break kayfabe for you. The shield achieves its flash effect using the KS-23's flashbang shells, which are the ammo you need to spawn and load into it. For convenience's sake, I recommend vaulting a shield with a shell loaded so you don't need to get the ammo spawner out every time you use it. If you're technically curious: Because H3's zvezda shells fire a magical flashbang grenade instead of being a flashbang shell, the "muzzle" of the shield is pointed inwards towards itself to get it to detonate immediately. This also means you can't load and use any projectiles to create a funny lethal shield.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
