Details about Protection shields and how they scale.
Things Protection Doesn't Scale With:
- Headshot/Limb Multipliers
- Physical/Magical Damage Reduction
Overflow damage is calculated as normal.
Example:
Exactly 25 damage is dealt to someone with a 20-HP Protection shield.
If a bodyshot, damage is:
25-20 = 5 * 1 = 5
If a headshot, damage is:
25-20 = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5
If a limbshot, damage is:
25-20 = 5 * 0.5 = 2.5
