I tried the shield a few times and I honestly prefer it on bugs. It saves tons of incidental damage from hunters any of the assholes that don’t need a head to wreck your day. Also fewer injuries so better gun uptime while backing up because you don’t need to stim.
While we’re talking about bugs, everyone should have at least one orbital airburst in the party. Throw it on any bug breach and suddenly it’s not a problem anymore. It’ll kill anything smaller than a charger, and the charger will get staggered by the blast so you can line up anti tank easy.
My favourite thing about the shield is not getting staggered by the odd hit from something. Gives a bit of time to get the situation under control rather than getting stun locked straight away.
