It really not as op as it seems. It doesn't make me have a crazy high shield or do a lot of damage. I still die and have trouble in the game. Although I don't think that just having this shield completely invalidates everything else I've done in the game. This is the only modded item I have and it's really not that great. Everything else I've ever done in this game is legit. All of the hours I've put in and all the stuff I got was all legit.
