Rampart Projector

Rampart Projector is a defense slot upgrade available to the Prowler. It is unlocked and upgraded using Certification Points.

While attached, deploying the Prowler using Anchored Mode instantly projects a large hardlight barrier in front of the tank, and raises the vehicle's front directional armor by the listed percentage. Undeploying the vehicle immediately removes these benefits. The barrier uses the Prowler's health pool as its own, acting simply as an extension of the Prowler's hitbox. In the same way, the barrier's resistances are the same as the tank's, and it also uses the directional armor values and orientations from the Prowler itself to decide the damage it receives, allowing it to take increased damage if struck by a target to the side of, behind, or below the Prowler.

The module's increase to the tank's front directional armor applies to damage taken both by the barrier, as well as damage taken by the Prowler itself if an enemy shoots it from the front while within the barrier.

Allies can shoot through the shield if they are behind it, although anyone can hit the barrier from the front, and enemies are able to hit it from any direction.

History

 * August 28, 2019 Update
 * While deployed, the Prowler receives increased front armor and projects a hardlight barrier forward to shield allied infantry. This barrier is tied directly to the Prowler's health pool, and damage to the barrier will also damage the Prowler.
 * Rank 1: 10% additional front armor.
 * Rank 2: 15% additional front armor.
 * Rank 3: 17.5% additional front armor.
 * Rank 4: 20% additional front armor.
 * July 16, 2020 Update
 * TR Prowler's Rampart Projector defense slot now correctly provides the intended 10/15/17.5/20% armor bonus when rank is increased, instead of being bugged at 10% for all ranks.
