Overshield

Overshield is a major mechanic in Gun Raiders. It is disabled by default in Hardcore games.
== Appearance ==
Overshield is visually represented in multiple ways. To other players, the user’s avatar will have a colored layer of Overshield around them, varying from blue to red depending on the amount of Overshield the player has. To the player with Overshield, their gloves will appear as blue to red and their Armor bar will be overwritten with the Overshield bar, again being colored blue to red.
== Functionality ==
Overshield can be obtained in Normal games by dying repeatedly without killing a player, or in Battle Royale, where it can be obtained through the use of Overshield potions. Each time this occurs, the player is given 100 points of Overshield, or one stack of Overshield. 
Overshield, in a nutshell, functionally increases the player’s health and increases the amount of Fuel a player has until they either lose their Overshield or die.
Overshield cannot be regenerated by any means, and cannot be given while the player is alive (outside of Battle Royale). The player can have up to 9 stacks of Overshield. Environmental hazards will still instantly kill an Overshielded player. Players cannot lose Shield or Health while Overshield is active.
When a stack of Overshield is removed from the player, whether it be by other players or environmental hazards, a noise similar to a shatter of glass will be made. The player who removed the Overshield also receives 100 xp. Once all stacks of Overshield are removed, the player will be forced back into the standard Shield and Health mechanics.
