The V Arks I've seen usually have a 100% bonus. But, that's all I know.

Only V ARKS have 100% HP regen and on resparks a 2.25 delay guaranteed. IV EX versions have 75% and either a 2.4 or 2.25 delay. If it has a 2.4 then it has a DMG resist on it and was pulled from a lockbox/arkfall. If it's a 2.25 delay then it was upgraded from purple.

thanks, just trying to figure out if its worth the extra coin for one of these...I am leaning towards not now lol....if it had an extra armour plate, than maybe ... I am happy with my shield ...

I prefer my Rebel to a Respark. The total shielding is better than than the delay of speed in recharging the entire thing.

Whatever the bonus is on the ark, it is higher than the V, ark bullseye is 10% crit when shields down, blastproof ark 40% less dmg from own explosives, regen 100% regen rate, charger? 10% extra hp, these bonuses are all higher than the plain V versions, though an ark shield never has a nano resistance I believe they have a higher capacity

ARK shields are just one step better than EXs. ARK, EX, DX and D denote which tier the shields special ability will be.

type ARK EX DX D
Berserker 15% 10% 5% ? fire rate on shield break
Blastproof 40% 30% 20% 10% less dmg from your explosives
Blockade 30% 20% 10% ? less dmg from vehicles
Booster 10% - - - +10% hp (ARK only)
Brawler 20% ? ? ? melee dmg when shield is down
Bullseye 10% 5% ? ? crit mult when shield is down
Charger 12% 8% 4% ? less dmg while shield is recharging
Contender 20% ? ? ? melee dmg after shield recharges
Energizer 10% - - - EGO power refresh on shield break (ARK only)
Fortifier 9% 6% 3% ? less dmg while standing still
Grenadier 15% 10% 5% ? grenade dmg after shield break
Guardian 5% - - - less dmg when shield is full (ARK only)
Rearm 2% 1% - - ammo regen on shield break
Regenerator 100% 75% 50% 25% hp regen rate
Reloader 20% 15% 10% 5% faster reload when shield is down
Survivor 20% - - - self-revive refresh on shield break (ARK only)


wow it removed all my spacing once i posted making it a bit harder to read but dashes indicate no shield at that lvl,?s mean i dont know if theres one at that lvl

[satirized]

Not huge in terms of capacity.

Not huge in terms of capacity.

Capacity is only affected by rarity and if it has a nano resist.

Do ark shields ever have a nano resist? I've never actually seen 1 that does, but I've only ever had 4 arks in my time playing
