Tactical Shield
The Tactical Shield is present in this beta build, complete with a model. It's possible to spawn this item in-game via the command give item_shield and is able to be picked up, however, picking up the shield only makes the "armor bought" sound effect, as there are no viewmodels for shielded weapons.
