Does anyone actually know how many more hits from each weapon upgraded shields gives you before breaking?
I know that a Sniper Rifle shot to the body will not completely drain your shields when you have Upgraded Shields equipped. There is a small fraction left. Also, the Energy Bayonet attachment kills in two hits on a player with US equipped, instead of one hit on a player with normal shields.

Unless they happen to have the Strength Mod to increase Melee Damage. Believe that Mod enables a one-hit kill even with Upgraded Shields.
Although I find the Upgraded Shields to be useless imo. BRs still kill me in four shots.
I don’t know how much it actually gives you and I doubt anyone will know unless 343 releases stats like Bungie did. But from what I’ve seen though it gives you 20 extra shield points, which totals up to 90 while you ordinarily have 70.
Good to know. Is it worth using in warzone?
Is good for WA or games with latency issues. Isnt awesome but help a bit, at least for me 0,6 upload…

It’s alright for what it is but the only time that me or my friends use it is when using the gunner seat in a warthog, that’s where it really shines, having that extra bit of shielding really does make a difference.

I use it once in awhile depending on the situation. Comes in handy on simple loadouts, but when power weapons are used I’ve noticed it only has a slight delay in shields going down. Maybe 1-2 extra shots fired before they drain with standard loadouts.
I know it takes 3 hydras instead of 2 to kill you
I heard it takes 5 BR shots as well to take a player with it down. I have not noticed though

Its useful if you are often killed by sniper or energy bayonets, but overall I think a lot of the others are better.

I prefer auto-medic, because if you have a good driver that can get in and out of situations safely, it makes everything easier to have a fully shielded gunner after a few seconds out of combat.

That’s a good point, but as an avid vehicle user, I’d rather have my gunner wait a bit longer with upgraded shields so my vehicle regen can kick in too.
I’ve heard that with full upgraded shields you can survive just barely survive a snipe headshot. I think upgraded sensors is best personally. Right now I’m working on plasma grenade commendation so I’m using the plasma grenade mod.
For what I have experienced normal guns kill the same. Powerguns take a sec longer

You’ve heard wrong. Headshots with precision weapons deal twice the damage and you’ve only got a tiny bit of your shield left with a body shot.
I think that the Upgraded shields mod is best suited against sniper rifles as a head shot from one of those when you have it won’t kill you.

It’s 2 shot regardless. Even if it’s a headshot.
I know that the BR is a 5 shot with US.
I think it affects auto-rifles too but for the DMR and Pistol it’s still a 5 shot
It just adds a sliver of extra shields which is indicated by the sliver left over when you take a sniper round.
So it will take two sniper rounds to kills you even if they hit you in the head.
BR will take 5 shots to kill you instead of four, DMR and magnum will take 6 shots to kill you instead of 5. Don’t know about the other weapons.
