"Creates a small Fusion Shield in the shape of a Disc at the location of your crosshair. Push the Loadout assignment key to fire."

- In-game description

The Disc Shield module is a type of special cube that allows to deploy instant impenetrable cover.

Should not be mistaken with Electroplates, that provide passive protection.

Overview
The Disc Shield Module deploys a circular barrier a specific distance from your robot in the direction of the crosshair when activated. It has a great assault potential. A pair of co-ordinated shielders with a balanced weapon loadout will be able to push through an overwhelming but less coordinated force. Shield modules can be countered by collectively flank their wielders or rushing through the shields.

While shield is impenetrable to any enemy weapons, bots freely move through it, so it's not advisable to use it as getaway tool in a short range skirmish.

Trivia

 * Disc Shield Modules were added in the Maximum Loadout Update on the 2nd March 2016.
 * In the Custom Games MK 1.5 Update, Disc Shield Modules no longer consumed weapon energy upon activation. Disc Shield Modules also had their CPU load, health, forge cost and recycle rate reduced.
