Shield Pack

The Shield Pack is used by both the Raider and the Brute classes. When activated, the pack begins to drain energy to put up a defensive barrier. This barrier converts damage into energy loss, rather than hurting the user. This pack can be used to make a player's health pool deceptively large, especially when combined with the Perk potential energy. Upgrades add shield effectiveness twice, making the shield have a larger damage threshold before being depleted.
