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

A unique Jakobs shield that provides no shield capacity and never recharges. In exchange, it boosts maximum health and grants fixed damage reduction, which makes it ideal for tanky builds built around health sustain rather than normal shield play.

Because the shield is always empty, shield-depleted bonuses stay active permanently, while effects that require a full shield never trigger.

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

It is the only Jakobs shield in the game and uses a turtle-shield body.

Although it shows 0 capacity, some parts of the UI treat it as if it had 100 maximum shield for display checks, even though it still cannot recharge. Flat shield-capacity increases can make it function like a normal shield, and fixed capacity reductions can also interfere with its always-depleted behavior.
