While equipped, a Deployment Shield activates whenever the Sunderer is deployed into a [[Sunderer Advanced Mobile Station (S-AMS)]], providing it with a regenerating shield layer that reduces the damage taken from certain damage types while it holds.

Once the Sunderer has finished deploying, the shield will immediately begin charging from 0 health. After approximately 13 seconds, the shield will reach its maximum strength of 2500 health. Damage taken at any point will interrupt shield regeneration and force the full delay to be incurred again.

Deployment Shield

Deployment Shield is a defense slot upgrade available to the Sunderer. It is auto granted, and upgraded using Certification Points.

While equipped, a Deployment Shield activates whenever the Sunderer is deployed into a Sunderer Advanced Mobile Station (S-AMS), providing it with a regenerating shield layer that reduces the damage taken from certain damage types while it holds.

Once the Sunderer has finished deploying, the shield will immediately begin charging from 0 health. After approximately 13 seconds, the shield will reach its maximum strength of 2500 health. Damage taken at any point, whether directly to the Sunderer's health pool or to the shield, will interrupt shield regeneration and force the full listed delay to be incurred again.

The shield provided by Deployment Shield changes the Sunderer's resist profile slightly while shielded. While the shield holds, the Sunderer takes slightly reduced damage from tank shells, and heavily reduced damaged from C4 and Tank Mines.

Damage Resistance[]

While the Sunderer's health bar is covered by shielding provided by Deployment Shield, the Sunderer is affected by a slightly different resist profile, providing the following changes.

Damage Type Health Type
ID Name Normal Deployment Shield
9 Tank Mine -75% 25%
11 C4 -40% 20%
7 Tank Shells -20% 0%

Any damage dealt while the shield holds is subject to the Deployment Shield's resist profile, even if the damage exceeds the remaining health of the shield.

Certifications[]
