Nanoshield

Nanoshield
The Nanoshield is a high-tech shield generator that creates a "safety bubble" that zombies cannot enter!

Survivor Pros

 * The Nanoshield will create a bubble shield that only humans can enter, zombies and their projectiles will be deflected/blocked.

Survivor Cons

 * The Nanoshield will take several seconds to deploy, and the shield starts off small and slowly grows to full-size.
 * When the duration of the shield starts to end, it will beep and flash red. This will signal the zombies that they will be able to attack soon!
 * When the shield fully runs out, the generator will explode, and deal 80 damage to any humans still inside the bubble.
 * Shots fired from within the bubble cannot damage targets outside the bubble, you will need to leave the safety of the shield to kill zombies!

Playing Against:

 * When a shield is deployed, avoid standing in the open to wait for it to deplete. This will just make you an easy target. Instead, retreat and try to bait humans to leave the safety of the shield.
 * A skilled Kraken can nab a human if they stray outside of the shield to grab an item or kill a zombie. Even if they go back inside of the shield after being grabbed, they will still get reeled!
 * A Gunker can coat the outside of the shield with toxic gas using their long-range attack. This will force humans to stay inside of the bubble! You can do this to keep them inside when it's about to run out, so they either stay inside and take 80 damage, or go outside and get poisoned!

Trivia

 * The Nanoshield was the first equipment added to the original game, and was also the first equipment ported to Fatkid: Reborn!
 * The Nanoshield is the only item in the game which technically has some ability to directly bring harm to teammates. If you throw the shield near an unsuspecting/afk player and they remain in the shield for the full duration, they will take 80 damage when it explodes.
