System Shock 2 Hints
How can I attack the shield?
1 of 5: The shield itself is more or less a physical thing.
2 of 5: So I would avoid using anything EMP-related (EMP rifle or grenades) or a laser weapon. They won't do a lot of damage.
3 of 5: Neither will exotic weapons.
4 of 5: Best are bullets from an assault rifle or non-EMP grenades.
5 of 5: I don't think psi weapons are fast/strong enough to cut it here, although please let me know if you found a psi attack that will take down the shield (not counting psi-based hacking).
