Arc Barrier

The Arc Barrier is a defensive weapon that projects an impenetrable shield around the player. 
The shield lasts 1.5 seconds and takes 8.5 seconds to recharge. Perfect Block will increase the shield duration by 0.5 seconds. The shield is removed if you use another weapon, grappling hook, or consumable. Melee traps will break when hitting the shield.
:"A magnetic barrier that protects the user from harm for a short duration."

Like many modern scientific breakthroughs, the technology used in the Arc Barrier was initially planned to prevent viral transmission. An independent South Korean laboratory envisioned cities shielded by massive diamagnetic repulsion barriers that would block the corrugenic virus from passing. While this goal was never met - partly because a solution for the destabilization of expansive barriers was never found it - did lead to the creation of the Arc Barrier.
The Arc Barrier is a personal portable shield that uses diamagnetic repulsion barriers to deflect nearly any physical projectile. It requires a significant amount of power to use, as each discharge of the barrier drains the inbuilt capacitor. When paired with a Fortalis Suit, the Arc Barrier can draw power from the suit's induction system, allowing it to reactivate after a short time.
== Trivia ==
* The Arc Barrier is the only defensive weapon in the game, having little to no offensive capabilities.
* Impaler's and death pistons that attack the Arc Barrier's shield will be destroyed
* Performing a perfect block on a Sentry Beams attack will destroy the Sentry Beam
