She can also use Thoughtlock to confuse and distract enemies. Maya's Kinetic Reflection can reach 100% with a class mod, protecting her completely from bullet-based attacks.
#BORDERLANDS 2 BEE SHIELD FULL#
Axton's Preparation and Willing together increase shield capacity and recharge rate while reducing the delay, and his Sabre Turret, especially with Gemini, can viably draw fire from himself to maintain full shield capacity.Krieg can still maximize explosive and overkill damage but must avoid normal core skills. Krieg makes poor use of the Bee as many of his high-risk high-reward skills either increase recharge delay or inflict self-damage.

#BORDERLANDS 2 BEE SHIELD PATCH#
The patch decreased the amount of Amp Damage (by about 10k for a level 50 example), increased Recharge Delay (by 2 more seconds), and reduced Recharge Rate (by 7k). The Bee was rebalanced by Patch 1.2.0.The Bee always spawns with a Torgue body and cannot spawn with a Dahl/Hyperion battery and capacitor.The Bee may also spawn with the Grounded, Inflammable, Alkaline, or Blast Proof prefixes, giving the wearer immunity to electrocution, burning, or corrosion status effects, or a reduction of explosive damage by half.Damage taken by the vehicle does not count as shield damage on the driver, allowing the Bee to keep functioning even while taking fire. The Bee also affects vehicle turrets, but not saw blades, rockets, or explosive barrels.Ultimately, The Bee shield is arguably the best shield in the entire game, though given that it provides paper-thin protection, the player must accept that they will be playing as a glass tank. The Bee is also extremely effective with weapons that boost crit damage, such as the Lady Fist, as the extra crit damage will apply to the amp damage dealt. This gives these weapons a truly insane amount of extra damage, making them some of the most powerful and popular weapons in the game when combined with The Bee shield. However, if the weapon card doesn't explictly mention any extra projectiles the weapon fires (such as on the Unkempt Harold, Sand Hawk and Pimpernel), the amp damage *will* apply to each additional pellet. Shotguns less desirable because the amp damage is divided among all pellets and not applied per pellet.

Due to this, The Bee is best used with a weapon with a high rate of fire and large magazine size, as more amp damage can be put out in a shorter span of time before one gets damaged. This effectively provides endless amp damage until the user takes damage from an outside source, making normally infeasible synergies extremely potent. The Bee, while having low shield capacity and a long recharge delay, gives extraordinary amp damage with zero shield drain per shot.
