The Mesh Shield is a Heavy build specialization in the form of a monodirectional shield with 750 HP. It can be used to mitigate any damage in the direction the user is facing and can be deployed at any time.
Strengths and Weaknesses
The shield has large health pool, and can be very useful to push an objective where opponents are bunkering down and holding sightlines. The shield can be held indefinitely, as long as its health does not reach zero. Its main weakness is the relatively long animation to deploy it, as well making the user vulnerable to flanks from other directions. Furthermore, whilst the shield is active, the user cannot equip any weapon, which means they are more dependent on their team to protect their flanks and deal damage.
