It has a built-in "Capacitance Bleed" mode which, when toggled on, increases Energy Weapon Damage at the price of draining a small amount of the players current Shield Capacity with each weapon fire.

Modifiers[ | ]

Very Rare Hyper-Capacitor Shield Array always comes with 4 modifiers which are randomly generated from shield modifiers pool. Once upgraded to Ultra Rare, it will gain one additional modifier which is randomly generated from shield modifiers pool.
Epic Hyper-Capacitor Shield Array will gain [Cp/Rg] modifier suffix which grants +10% Maximum Shield Capacity and +X Shield Regeneration.

Ability: Capacitance Bleed[ | ]

While active, Capacitance Bleed will cause all of your outgoing Energy Damage to be increased by an amount that scales with your current Shield Capacity. However, each time an Energy Weapon is fired, it will drain a small amount of your current Shield Capacity to power this additional damage.

This ability cannot be activated unless currently have at least 20% total shield capacity, across all four shield facings. It will automatically shut off when your shield capacity reaches this lower threshold. If not shut off automatically due to low shield capacity, it can be turned off manually at any time, or will last a maximum of 30 seconds.
