- Bullet Resist
- +18%
- Damage Threshold

- Time Frame
- 4s
- Cooldown
- 35sscales with item cooldown reduction
- Barrier Duration
- 8sscales with ability duration
Enemies who do most of their damage with bullets — gun carries, sustained shooters, close-range shotguns — especially when they focus you.
Most effective against (at 20k souls, by gun DPS): Haze (973), Silver (329), Mirage (309), Holliday (279), The Doorman (262).
Everything this does to damage or survival is in the simulator.
• Triggers once the weapon damage you take (after resists) within the time frame reaches the threshold (assumption incoming).
• The bullet resist lasts the barrier duration; the barrier counts up to the damage you take in that time.
