Tactical Information

  • The shield provides 360º protection.
  • While the shield is active, the wearer is also immune to crowd control effect such as the spit from a Bile Titan, the knockback from rockets and puffball mushrooms, and the slowing effect of frost plants.
  • The shield backpack is able to provide cover for your buddy if you're operating a crew weapon like the Recoilless Rifle or Autocannon.
  • Some melee attacks from smaller Terminids will sometimes ignore the shield and hit the wearer directly, though it's hard to say why.
  • K-2 Throwing Knives have similarly been reported as able to bypass the SH-32's shield under certain circumstances.

Known Bugs

  • 1.000.300: The SG-8P Punisher Plasma cannot be used within the barrier of a Shield Generator Pack. The projectile will explode upon leaving the barrel when under the effects of this utility.
    • 1.000.302: Firing the Punisher Plasma while wearing a shield backpack no longer damages the Helldiver.
  • 1.000.304: "Hand Carts" Ship module does not reduce Shield Generator Pack's cooldown.
