The best part about the Directional Shield is that your friends can shoot through it while staying protected. This makes it a great tool for teamwork and strategy during missions.
How to Equip the Directional Shield and Activate It During Your Missions
To use the Directional Shield in Helldivers 2, you first need to unlock it from the Urban Legends Warbond. This means you have to complete some tasks in the game to get access to it. After you unlock the shield, you can choose it as one of your tools before starting a mission.
When you are ready to use the shield during a fight, just press the L2 button on PlayStation controllers. Once you do this, the shield will pop up in front of you, ready to block attacks from enemies.

Understanding What the Directional Shield Can Do and Its Important Limits
The Directional Shield is very useful, but it has some limits that you should know about. It does a great job of blocking most bullets and projectiles, creating a safe space for you and your team. However, the shield cannot stop melee attacks or explosions, so you need to be careful when facing enemies that use these types of attacks. Also, the shield has a health bar and can break after taking too much damage. After it breaks, there is a cooldown time of about 7 seconds before you can use it again.
