Requirements[]

Bastion deals crash damage according to your body gear, this being 200 for most bodies. Battery deals 300, Carrier deals 700, and Hullbreaker deals the most of any body gear if moving quickly enough.
Bastion's innate regeneration behaves like a construct: it isn't reduced while you're firing, nor enhanced by Regeneration or Efficiency. In contrast, if you take the mod Regenerative Shields, that extra portion of the regeneration follows the normal rules for the player. These two amounts of regeneration are added together when displayed on the pause screen stats.
Shield Effect Power scales Bastion's innate regeneration, crash damage dealt, and amount of hull damage resistance provided to you.
Bastion gets slightly wider or narrower with your Shield Effect Radius.
