Front Loader is a legendary shield manufactured by Hyperion. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Private Beans on Athenas.

Special Shield Effects

You could always use a little more life insurance – Reserves 60% of maximum health and returns it as shield capacity.

Usage & Description

The Front Loader sports a high shield capacity alongside the health-to-shield conversion, giving the character a more durable shield that is easier to recover than health. However, the reduction in health can lead to sudden cripples if heavy shock damage is taken.

Notes

  • When the Front Loader is equipped, it is not possible to heal the reserved health.

Trivia

  • The flavor text is a reference to the 1993 fantasy comedy film Groundhog Day with the full quote being:
    "Do you have life insurance, Phil? Because if you do, you could always use a little more, I mean, who couldn’t? But let me tell something–I got’s a feeling you ain’t got any. Am I right or am I right or am I right?"
