- This article is about the legendary shield in Borderlands 3. For other uses, see Ward.
Ward is a legendary shield in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Hyperion. It is obtained from The Graveward located in The Floating Tomb on Eden-6.
Special Weapon Effects[]
Free me master, see me shiver. – Increased melee damage and +25% weapon damage when depleted. +2% max health per second when the shield is active; this effect doubles when the shield is depleted. Increased recharge delay.
Usage & Description[]
The Ward can grant the largest roid damage of any shield in Borderlands 3 given the right parts, along with granting extra damage and granting higher weapon damage. If the Ward spawns with 300% bonus roid damage, it is the best roid shield in the game in practically every category, making it an amazing shield for melee builds.
Notes[]
- Lower level ones are often considered superior to variants of any other level, as its bonuses do not change and the reduced capacity means that the shield will be depleted more often.
- For a few weeks after the release of Borderlands 3, the Ward was guaranteed to drop with the Brawler prefix due to always having parts that gave it a double roid bonus. As a result, it always offered +300% melee damage while shields were depleted. This appears to have been changed without being noted in the hotfix on September 27, 2019.
Trivia[]
- The flavor text is a reference to the song "Aquarium" by Haken.
