Tactical Information

  • The bubble shield provides 360º protection, unlike the Ballistic Shield or Directional Shield.
    • This includes stopping friendly projectiles, like shots from the P-11 Stim Pistol.
  • Despite it's in-game description, the shield is effective against some melee attacks, and does not have any form of limited duration other than its durability.
    • Once the shield is broken, it will automatically recharge and reactivate after 12s.
  • While the shield is active, the wearer is immune to most crowd control effects, which include but is not limited to:
    • Slowing weather effects like Blizzards/Sandstorms.
      • It also removes the visual HUD effect of Acid Storms, making it easier to see.
    • The slowing effect of acid spit from a Bile Titan.
    • Negative effects of environmental flora, such as the ragdolling effect of Moor Mushrooms, the slowing effect of Ice Plants, or the slowing effect from Bug Mines.
    • Greatly mitigates knockback from strong ranged attacks such as rockets, however these will still cause a Helldiver to flinch.
    • Prevents ragdolling from backblast effects such as when standing behind a Rocket Sentry, or too close to a Solo Silo as it launches. The Helldiver will still be pushed slightly by the blast, but remain standing.
    • Helldivers are also immune to the stamina-sapping effect of the G-23 Stun grenade as long as the shield is active, making them perfectly safe to use at close range.
  • The shield backpack can provide cover for another Helldiver if they are operating a crew support weapon such as the GR-8 Recoilless Rifle or AC-8 Autocannon.
  • Similarly, it can also provide momentary protection to another Helldiver with timely use of the Hug emote.
  • The shield has the potential to negate the effect of a single Contact Mine. This will fully drain the shield pack and typically still injure the Helldiver, but chances of survival are significantly increased.
  • K-2 Throwing Knives have been reported as able to bypass the SH-32's shield under certain conditions.
