Mech low-shield

Mech low-shield

A shielding device which projects a momentum repulsor field. Shots can go out, but not in.
This one is tuned to low angles, so it will block ground-level projectiles like bullets.
The unit can be temporarily disabled by EMP attacks, either by shocking the projector unit itself, or using EMP munitions on the shield.

Mech drop beacon are Mechanoid cluster buildings added by the Royalty DLC. It blocks incoming projectiles in a 20-tile radius around them. Upon being hit by an EMP, it is disabled for 1,080 ticks (18 secs).

Trivia

Like all mech cluster buildings, they not only have a Flammability of 0%, but also take no damage from attacks with the Flame damage type. This is in contrast to, for example, a stone wall which will not be ignited by molotov cocktails but will take the 10 flame damage from the initial attack.
