Auxiliary Shield

The Auxiliary Shield is a utility slot buff available to all non-MAX infantry classes. It is unlocked and equipped for all classes by default.

Auxiliary Shield simply increases the shield health of the class by 50. For most classes, this will increase their normal shield health to a 550 and for an Infiltrator this will be an increase to 450 health.

On standard 1000 health infantry targets, Auxiliary Shield causes all standard damage breakpoints (200 damage, 167, 143, 125, 112, 100, etc.) to require one more shot to the body to kill. The odd breakpoints (167, 125, 100, etc.) also require one additional shot to the head versus a target with Auxiliary Shield.

The additional shielding provided by Auxiliary Shield will not be factored into percentage based increases to the user's shields, such as that from the Jockey implant.
