The Bee

root@hyperion-db:~$ cat description.txt

A legendary Hyperion amp shield built for maximum burst damage. It has extremely low capacity and a long recharge delay, but in exchange it grants a huge amp bonus that does not consume shield charge.

While the shield is full, every shot is amped. Any incoming damage shuts that down until the shield fully recharges again, so it works best for cautious, high-damage play.

Common drop sources include Hunter Hellquist and Treants.

Its amp bonus also applies to vehicle weapons, and vehicle damage does not drain the driver's shield, which means the amp can stay active while driving. It can roll resistance prefixes such as Grounded, Inflammable, Alkaline, or Blast Proof. Its parts are otherwise fixed in several ways: it always uses a Torgue body and cannot roll a Dahl or Hyperion battery or capacitor.

Later balance changes reduced its amp damage and recharge rate, increased recharge delay, split amp across listed projectiles, and prevented most Tediore reload throws from receiving the bonus.
