The Knockdown Shield is a gear item which can be equipped to grant a protective shield while downed. It can be acquired in multiple rarities: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4; at its highest rarity, it also provides the [Guardian Angel] perk, granting revived squadmates additional health and shield.
Protection
While downed, the shield can be activated by holding

, the same button that fires weapons. Doing this will reduce crawling speed by 45%. The shield only protects the front of a downed player; they can still be harmed from behind or the sides. Once the shield's health is depleted, it will remain destroyed until the next time the player is downed.

The Level 4 Knockdown Shield has the same health as Level 3. In addition, players revived by the shield's owner will have an additional 50 shield and 50 health restored (in addition to the 20 health they have by default, for a total of 70 health). Revives done in this manner will have a crackling effect surrounding them, indicating that the perk is being used.
