It does nothing against melee attacks or shots from point-blank range. Additionally, it prevents the wearer from firing outside their own shield, as well."

-Personal shields are a defensive accessory worn by colonists or non-tribal raiders.
-When active, the shield will continuously recharge, and block all range attacks both from the outside and from within, meaning colonists will not fire with an active personal shield.
-Personal shields can be broken, in which the shield will stop working entirely for 50 seconds before returning online. They will recharge starting from 0, meaning they can be broken easily once again.
-=== Visuals ===
-Pawns equipped with a personal shield will have a white barrier visible around them. The barrier will shrink and diminish as the charge reduces.
-===Stats===

-=== Tips ===
-Personal shields make it viable to bait enemy fire without placing your colonists at serious risk. Simply equip a colonist with a shield and run them in front of your line. Enemy AI tends to target the closest victim possible so they'll target your shield bait. This is especially effective against mechanoids to absorb those lethal charge lance shots and stray minigun hits, or rocket-wielding raiders to take a direct rocket hit without much of a scratch (though weaker shields will be destroyed in one hit).
-It is also an important piece of equipment for melee colonists, as it blocks a significant portion of gunfire, allowing them to close in on ranged enemies to attack them.
