All Shield Types in ARC Raiders

There are three types of shields in ARC Raiders: Light, Medium, and Heavy. Players will mostly have access to the Light shield in the beginning, but will be able to acquire Medium and Heavy shields while raiding various maps. Each shield has a damage mitigation stat, which allows it to absorb a portion of incoming damage from impacting your character's health bar.

Here are the complete stats for all shields available in ARC Raiders.

How to Recharge Shields in ARC Raiders (All Items)

Once players take damage, their shield will absorb a percentage of it, and the rest will impact a player's HP in ARC Raiders. Shield will eventually deplete, leaving players vulnerable to receiving fatal damage. To avoid this, you'll need to rely on items that can recharge your shield and keep it topped off before and after a fight.

Here are the stats for all the items that players can use to recharge their shields in ARC Raiders.

To top off your shield's HP before a match, players can manually repair it in Speranza via the action menu.
