Someone please tell me how!

I’ve seen red shields in the winter express mode, not just a one off, but multiple games and multiple people. Does anybody know how to get red shields or if this is a bug?

  • @hayhor The Flashpoint shield regen thing is new this year. You used to get fast heal cells. It's one of the many changes that people have complained about this year's iteration of WE. I think Wattson has the best in class hitbox, though. I've had a lot more success with her than with LL or Wraith, and it sure isn't because I'm a whiz with her abilities.

    I have a suspicion that they are considering implementing auto shield regen as a regular mechanic in the game at some point in the future, as they keep introducing various iterations of it in the LTMs. 

    How does the shield regen relate to LL's drone, though?  Flesh health doesn't auto regen.

    @pandareno1999 Because instead of popping a shield you pop a health med. The thing the drone allows is you to shoot back. So I guess there's that.

    I definately don't want auto shield regen in BR. I think it would make the time to fight even longer as people could hide and hit health meds.

    As for the hitbox and who's smallest now. I think lifeline is pretty small. Genburten said on stream he plays her on ranked specifically because of this and her anti seer rez.

    If they got rid of higher level shields, it would be fine. If 50 was the max, but they recharged out of combat, it would make people have to re-think the length of their engagements.
