An implant which allows the mechanitor to place a personal defense shield on a mech. The mechanitor must continuously focus on the mech in order to maintain the shield.

Acquisition

Remote shielders can be crafted at a Machining table once the High mechtech research project has been completed. They require Powerfocus chip 1 Powerfocus chip, Component 6 Components, 3,200 ticks (53.33 secs) of work, and a Crafting skill of 6.

Summary

Having at least 1 remote shielder installed gives access to the Remote Shield ability.
