HELLDIVERS 2 – Personal Shield Pack Explained

Explanation of Personal Shield Pack

It does not have damage bleed through, no matter how much damage an attack will do the shield will absorb all of it and break it it’s in one damage instance leaving you completely unharmed (even a 500kg nuke).

Gas damages you through the shield without hurting it, if fire directly hits the shield but doesn’t light the ground on fire it will damage the shield but not light you on fire. Flaming terrain will damage you, and bypass the shield lighting you on fire.

Position during the damage matters too, it seems a swing that happens inside the shield will hurt you but one that begins outside will be blocked even if it physically intersects you inside. Some things seem to always hit through if they collide with your player such as hellpods and bile titan legs, as well as charger attacks depending on how “deep” in the shield they hit.

It prevents knockback as long as the shield takes it and not you, so if a charger charge glances you instead of being flung to the moon the shield will break and you’ll be standing.

It doesn’t seem like it has invulnerability frames when broken, as soon as it breaks all damage goes through.

It seems to block self damage for some things, grenades will still kill you if in the shield but explosive weapons fired at your feet will get absorbed and not hurt you.

My first game was Naughty Dog’s Crash Bandicoot (PlayStation) back in 1996. And since then gaming has been my main hobby. I turned my passion for gaming into a job by starting my first geek blog in 2009. When I’m not working on the site, I play mostly on my PlayStation. But I also love outdoor activities and especially skiing.
