I know for sure that Peacemaker’s finale is going to be epic! It has already touched every nerve, be it through its vastly inappropriate jokes or John Cena’s soulful piano playing. Now, we have an equally enthralling trailer to gear us up for the finale:
I know, I know, you may many questions racing across your mind: Will the squad defeat the Butterflies, and how? Will another major character die? Will there be a season 2? But the most important of them all — Where the heck did Peacemaker’s shield pop out from?
Peacemaker may have gotten his shield either from Auggie Smith’s arsenal of weapons or from Harcourt and Murn.
This show is also known to do and talk about the most random things, so Peacemaker could’ve gotten his shield from a costume store for all you know. All jokes apart, here’s are the two possibilities:
Auggie Smith Built Peacemaker a Shield
The shield could’ve been part of the all the equipment that Auggie had built for Peacemaker. Now that Auggie is dead, Peacemaker and the team may have gone back to his father’s house for reinforcements.
Knowing Auggie’s ideologies, I doubt he’d invest in making a defense tool which he’d consider is something a weakling would use. But some fans say they remember seeing a shield in his secret weapons room, so the possibility remains.
Harcourt/Murn Built Peacemaker a Shield
I’d really like to think that the squad built Chris a shield as a symbol of solidarity. They’ve gone too long keeping him in the dark and they need to do something sweet to assure him they’re all on the same team.
This reminds me of one of the previous episodes where Harcourt engraved a dove of peace on Chris’ gun, knowing that he needs the placebo of that symbol to help him shoot straight.
Giving him a shield with his signature symbol would indeed be a heartfelt and motivating moment, so fingers crossed. Harcourt and Murn both seem skilled enough to make such a tool for him.

As far as I’ve searched the dark recesses of the Internet, Peacemaker does not seem to have a shield in the comics.
But Peacemaker has called the douchey version of Captain American a several hundred times, so it’s very James Gunn-like to put a shield in Peacemaker’s arms and mimic Cap.
I’d like to think that while Peacemaker is still very douchey, the shield is symbolic of the change in his outlooks and ideologies, and perhaps mirroring Cap in more than just the attire.
