“	Always goes for maximum shield protection. If this simulant loses any shield energy, it will go and search for a new shield. Not much use if there are no shields on the level!	”

The ShieldSim is a special type of Simulant in the Combat Simulator.

Analysis

The ShieldSim, as the name suggests, is a Simulant pre-equipped with a Shield. It will behave according to its difficulty level, with one caveat - if its Shield is damaged, it will, whenever feasible, immediately retreat to find another Shield.

Strategies

• ShieldSims are generally a waste of time if the player doesn't have an adequate weapon. If there are Shields in your game mode, just shooting out its Shield will fend it away. Killing it instead will make it respawn with a full shield, repelling it for a smaller time.
• Camping near a Shield spawn will not only draw them to you, but you will have a full shield, and they have nowhere to retreat to, giving you hordes of points.
