Baldur’s Gate 3 melee characters can rejoice after spotting the return of a highly anticipated ability with patch #6.
Baldur’s Gate 3’s sixth major patch is already shaping up to be a success, with many players enjoying its upcoming fixes to romance, Honor Mode, camp animations, and more.
Among the new features, an ability now seems to be reactivated, after having been forgotten for far too long, and melee players are rejoicing.
Shield Bash returns in patch 6 of Baldur’s Gate 3
On Reddit, user u/NeverJoe_420_ shared his discovery. He revealed that “Shield Bash is back” thanks to a release made by Larian Studios. The latter suggests that they were going to reactivate the previously faulty ability.
Before patch 6, the powerful ability didn’t seem to work. Players from across the community were confused. However, it looks like this powerful attack is about to make a comeback.

As soon as this was revealed, fans were ecstatic. Many have commented that this post made them realize that this bug is in fact very widespread.
“Finally! I thought I was going crazy activating it over and over again, not noticing anything was actually happening,” one user commented. Players are now hoping that they will be able to take on enemies with their shields, as expected.
While many were elated, others warned players to watch out for enemies equipped with shields: “Rejoice! Until an enemy equipped with a shield hit me, knocking me down and changing the tide of the fight in the enemy’s favor. That was a stupid low blow.”
Naturally, if the ability was broken for the player, it was probably bad for the enemies as well. So watch out for when the sixth patch finally becomes available in Baldur’s Gate 3.
