Overview
The Dome Shield is an exclusive gadget for Heavy Builds in which the user can throw down a spherical (omnidirectional) shield that allows them and their teammates to shoot through it while blocking enemy fire. The Dome Shield is not to be confused with the Heavy specialization the Mesh Shield, which is monodirectional.
Uses & Interactions
The Dome Shield is useful for protecting a team by providing cover from enemy fire and allowing allies to safely return fire while shielded. The shield blocks all gunfire and projectiles from enemy contestants, no matter what side of the shield that they are on.
However, once thrown, the shield cannot be picked up or moved, so players may be left without cover if they move out of its area of effect. The Dome Shield also has a long cooldown, meaning that the user must think carefully before placing it.
Friendly fire through the dome will cause after enough bullets for the dome to wiggle, and eventually fall apart, this can be shown using a M60, hold the fire button and the dome will expire after approximately 5 seconds instead of 20.
