Notes
Each blue box inside the shield bar is worth 10 shield points. Shields do not act as extra health, but take a portion of the damage you've taken as shield damage instead.
Every free loadout will give you a light shield.
Used to the Weight perk from the Conditioning Skill Tree will reduce the effects of the movement penalty from the medium/heavy shields.
