The Heavy Shield is an equipable item that blocks a large portion of incoming damage, though it reduces your character's movement speed. To use this shield, Raiders must have specific augmentations equipped, including Combat Mk. 2, Combat Mk. 3 (Aggressive), Looting Mk. 3 (Safekeeper), or Tactical Mk. 3 (Defensive). It can be crafted at a Gear Bench, found through scavenging, or purchased from Lance with coins. This item can be repaired with resources or recycled into other materials.
