Shields Overview

Featuring 2 unique manufacturers with their own distinct trait, shield mods' primary function is to extend player survivability by effectively increasing hit points. Shield capacity is not their only metric, as shields often come with secondary effect(s) which can drastically change the approach to the battlefield, enabling specific builds and playstyles. Damage mitigation, health increase, elemental immunity, or brief damage immunity are some examples of what some of the best shield mods can offer.
