Sword and Shield

"Drones actually have a shield system in place, as the design is based on fighting units from the war. It's rarely used though, so Scavengers have a greater chance to fight back. I could set it to reactivate occasionally? Keep them on their toes?" - Trinh Thanh

A perk available to The Veteran.
