The SH-32 Shield Generator Pack also known as Shield Pack is a backpack stratagem that projects an energy shield to protect the wearer from most damage. Despite the description, the shield is quite effective against Terminids' melee attacks and does not have any form of duration/lifetime/power restrictions other than its durability.

Tactical Information

  • The bubble shield provides 360º protection.
  • While the shield is active, the wearer is also immune to crowd control effects such as the spit from a Bile Titan, the knockback from rockets and Moor Mushrooms, and the slowing effect of frost plants.
  • The shield backpack can provide cover for your buddy if you're operating a crew support weapon such as the GR-8 Recoilless Rifle or AC-8 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.
