Biotic Shield
The Biotic Shield is a Throwing gadget introduced in the 17.5.0 update. It requires one's clan to reach Golden Division to unlock.
Appearance
It is a golden device worn on the right side of the player's head that has a blue wire, a red wire, and a black antenna with a red highlight attached at various points. It also has a gem embedded on the side.
Performance
When activated, the blue cross in front will shoot out a blue ball of energy that expands into a blue sphere-shaped shield that can absorb any damage inflicted by enemies, protecting yourself and your allies. It has the 
and 
attributes. The shield lasts for a period of time and can the duration can be increased by upgrading. Moreover, after each use, players must wait a 50-39 second cooldown before he/she can use it again.
Strategy
Tips
- Use this gadget while getting spawn-camped or in narrow hallways.
- If the shield activates in mid-air, it will be very difficult to get within it, as the shield does not serve as a platform.
- This gadget is more useful for co-operative modes, because it can protect both you and your teammates.
- Although, you can alternatively use it for yourself in Deathmatch.
- This gadget is most effective when used in Flag Capture/Point Capture. In particular, on a contested point or the flag, where you can fend off the attackers by shooting them from behind the shield.
- Area Damage weapons prove to be very useful on these occasions.
- Combine it with the Armor Generator so you can regenerate your armor if you get shot.
- Becareful when placing the shield as even enemies can use your shield as a cover
- Place a Turret then place this shield ontop of it to make it last significantly longer as it will be protected from most attack, this strategy also work with Sticky Turret.
Counters
- Attack and damage the players behind the shields with area damage weapons.
- Bypass the shield's width. If it is in a doorway, try to flank the user by using alternate routes leading to them.
- Wait until the Biotic Shield stops, then attack the player(s). If the players have powerful weapons, it is best not to engage them in combat.
- Use the Disabler to prevent the user from activating this.
- Use high damaging Primary weapons such asUltimatum or area damage weapons with a large radius like the Ice Club or Lance Soul Card as they have enough damage radius to pierce through the shield.
- Use any weapon with
or a big enough AoE (Area of Effect) as the shield cannot absorb every form of ranged attack, unlike the Sly Wolf (The Sly Wolf itself cannot block all ranged attacks either).
- However, the damage dealt by Wall Break will be reduced, similar to when a player damages an enemy through a map structure.
- Walk inside the shield quickly and preferably unnoticed and use a powerful close-range weapon like Ninja Shurikens or a Melee to eliminate the enemy.
