Tactical Information

• This Stratagem is especially effective against Automatons because most of them have/use projectile attacks.
• The shield blocks friendly projectiles just as well as it blocks enemy projectiles. A player from outside the bubble cannot shoot through the bubble.
• Be careful using explosive weapons near/in the shield; if you are outside the shield, your shots will explode on the shield and hurt yourself or your teammates.
  • Specifically, be careful about firing explosive weapons while walking backwards out from the shield.
• Terminids are easily distracted by this Stratagem, they will prioritize destroying it first before attacking players. Note: enemies are able to walk through the barrier without issue.
• When ramming the barrier Chargers will be briefly stunned.
• Bile Titans can, if close enough to the shield, kill themselves when trying to spit to bile at the Relay. This is because their spit explodes on impact with the shield, and the explosion can deal severe damage to its head.
• The Relay pairs well with Sentry Stratagems, giving them space to fire freely when up against heavy Automaton forces that would otherwise quickly destroy them.

Known Bugs

• 1.000.300: The SG-8P Punisher Plasma cannot be used within the Shield Generator Relay. The projectile will explode upon leaving the barrel when under the effects of this utility.
  • 1.000.403: Firing the Punisher Plasma while within the Shield Generator no longer damages the Helldiver.
