Reload Shield — core

Reload Shield grants shield after a completed real reload.

Status: Current. Availability: Source-defined; acquisition is build-dependent.

Evidence: statically inspected repository definitions. No new automated gameplay, Editor, network or human acceptance is claimed. See the evidence guide.

Identity: core:11 · Aliases: ReloadWard

Behaviour and interactions

Grants 5 + 3 × (rank − 1) shield, with a 3-second trigger interval. Overflow lasts 3 seconds; higher ranks add 3 × (rank − 1) overflow capacity. Repeating the same source refreshes its bounded pool rather than creating unlimited independent pools.

Tier: Uncommon · Categories: Weapons, Survival

Restriction: Completed real reload; same source replenishes/refreshes overflow.

Rank scaling from source

n = rank, q = rank − 1, l = log2(1 + rank), h = log2(rank), for rank ≥ 1. The excerpt below is copied as text, not executed. Primary/secondary meaning is defined in the resolver description and behaviour notes.

v.Primary=5+3*q;v.CapacityBonus=3*q;v.Duration=3;v.TriggerInterval=3;break;

Acquisition ranks have no authored balance cap; integer/float representation and bounded runtime effect rules still apply. Spare Charge is ranked per selected normal active. Run upgrades survive stage travel and downing, and clear at final run end.
