''Make those pesky bullets less pesky with this brand new shield! Upon activation all damage recieved is reduced by 50%!''

~ Official Battle Bears Gold description

Usage
The Energy Barrier serves as a damage buffer, and weakens all opposing attacks by 50% for a limited amount of time. This performs well with the Assault class as it already has a substantial amount of health. When activated, the player will begin to glow their team coloured, and all damage received will be weakened by 50%, allowing for protection of sorts when under enemy fire or in wide-open spaces. This effect lasts for 2.0 seconds, and its 5 second reload begins as soon as it is activated. The Energy Barrier cannot be altered with the use of Equipment.

The Energy Barrier is best utilised when the player is low on health, under attack or for caution while moving in a wide open area.

Trivia

 * When activated at the right time, this weapon can allow an Assault to survive some of the most damaging effects in the game, including the explosion from a suicide secondary, a point-blank explosion of the Bomb in Plant the Bomb or even a direct hit of the Demo's Phat Man.
