Disambig This article is about passive shields added by body shields. For active shields used while downed, see Knockdown Shield. For Gibraltar's shield abilities, see Gibraltar.

Shields are a buffer that absorb damage before a legend starts losing health. Shields are gained by equipping a Body Shield Body Shield, which grants the player anywhere from 2-4 bars (depending on rarity); each bar absorbs 25 points of damage. They do not automatically regenerate (with the exception of Wattson's File:Interception Pylon.png Interception Pylon), but can be replenished by using shield-restoring items or by equipping an undamaged body shield. Furthermore, Finishers successfully executed completely refills your shield health.


Shields do not absorb damage from the Ring or Caustic's Nox Gas.

Shield-restoring items

Shield-restoring items can be found across the map. They can be used, when shields are damaged, via the inventory or health kits menu. Using a restoring item takes several seconds and slows down your movement and disables other actions while being used but can be cancelled if needed.

The following items restore shields:

Evo Shields

Evo shields are shields coming with the System Override event. For each amount of damage dealt, your shield will upgrade itself with a higher shield cap than before, starting with 25 shield and maxing our at 125 shield health.
