The Heat Shield is a survival item which can be deployed to temporarily protect an area from the Ring. Players inside this area will not take ring damage, and can revive their squadmates 25% faster.
Function
When deployed, the Heat Shield protects a [?] meter radius around it, in the shape of a half-sphere above it and a cylinder below it. If deployed inside the Ring, it does nothing and disappears after 45 seconds. If the Ring comes in contact with it, it will begin to provide its protection and enhanced revive speed to all inside it. It begins at 100% health, and takes a tick of damage every 1.5 seconds it is in contact with the Ring. The amount of damage it takes, and therefore the amount of time it lasts, scales in later rounds of the match.
