XDefiant:Mag Barrier
Overview
Mag Barrier is an activated skill for the Phantoms faction in XDefiant. Triggering this skill deploys an electromagnetic protective barrier that blocks incoming bullets and grenades. However, the allies can still fire and send grenades to the enemy team.
The Phantoms character using the Mag Barrier skill fires a small ball in front of him, emitting the shield immediately. The protective barrier's direction and trajectory are displayed when you hold the skill deploy button. Also, while holding the skill, you can hipfire a regular weapon.
Once you release the skill activation key or button, the Mag Barrier deploys. The enemy can destroy it by depleting its 400 health through consistent shooting or using an EMP grenade. The shield's health is displayed with an extra health bar next to the gadget's icon.
Using the DedSec faction's Hijack skill will flip its allegiance, and instead of blocking all of the enemy team's fire and grenades, the shield will do it for you and your allies.
