Charge Shield System (Updated)

Popularized by Borderlands and Halo, the Charged Shield comes to Federation! Featuring 4 universal and 5 unique/legendary variants with custom meshes, textures and effects!

Requirements (inclusive):

HUD frame

General information:

Features 4 universal shield variants that spawn on humanoid NPCs such as Raiders, Gunners, and more, including DLC.

Features 5 unique/legendary shield variants with unique abilities. These variants are available in limited numbers across the federation.

Features a HUD element that displays shield health and stats to the player when the shield is equipped. The small shield represents capacity, the clock represents charging delay, and the cycle symbol represents charging rate per second.

NPCs with shields will emit a glowing effect to indicate that damage has been absorbed by the shield.

While each shield's recharge delay is predetermined, shield capacity and recharge rate scale with NPC level, on top of the shield's base statistics.

Common variants of shields are named after their color grades and follow this pattern: White -> Green -> Blue -> Purple

In terms of pure stats, the Purple Shield is the best, however, the Legendary Shield yields very useful benefits.

Shields can be found in story locations or looted from enemies.
