When to Buy
- Purchase this item in the mid-to-late game when facing teams with high weapon damage output to significantly increase your effective HP.
- It is most effective in long team fights where you have the time to ramp up to the maximum 60% Bullet Resist.
- Best suited for heroes with high fire rates or large magazines who can reliably reach and maintain the stack cap.
- Note that spread-fire weapons (like those used by Abrams or Pocket) only gain one stack per shot, making the ramp-up slower than on automatic weapons.

- McGinnis: The sustained fire from her Mini Gun ensures she stays at maximum Bullet Resist for the duration of an engagement.
- Haze: The bonus clip size and weapon damage complement her kit, while the escalating resistance helps her survive when she is targeted during her ultimate.
