The first line of defense for blocking enemy attacks was a Crusader shield. Without giving up their ability enhancements or attacking prowess, Crusaders can hold a shield with their off-hand. The Crusader Shield is a piece of European armor made of curved wood, decorated on the front with a red painted cross, and covered with a white canvas. The crusaders' shields were typically triangular in design. The kite shield was used for the majority of the Middle Ages Crusades. Unlock the Crusader Shield in The Division 2 for the Shotgun Combo.
