The Cradle

 is a Tediore Shield. It only features in Borderlands 2.

Special Shield Effects
When shield is depleted it is disposed of...with explosive results.

Usage and Description
The Cradle follows the Tediore gimmick of disposable weaponry. It's a fairly low capacity, but fast charging shield. After the shield breaks, it gets thrown like a grenade, exploding with an Explosive Nova.

Drop Guide

 * The Cradle is an uncommon drop from Henry in The Highlands. She can be farmed after completing the mission Best Mother's Day Ever.

Trivia

 * The Cradle's name and red text comes from a common saying, "From the cradle to the grave".
 * Also can be a reference to the movie "cradle to the grave" because in it there are blackdiamonds that have very powerful explosve ablities.
