Equipping Darwin's Danger Shield also grants the wearer 15% resistance from bullet damage, enough resistance for the wearer at full health to survive a fully charged bodyshot or uncharged [[Headshot]] from any [[Sniper Rifle]]. As a trade-off, the wearer receives 20% extra damage from explosive sources such as [[Rocket Launcher|rockets]], [[Grenade Launcher|grenades]], [[Stickybomb Launcher|stickybombs]], and [[Sentry Gun]] rockets. However, the extra health counteracts this downside, giving the Sniper 126 effective health against explosives.

That snuffed yer fire, ya filthy arsonist!
The Sniper taking advantage of afterburn immunity

Darwin's Danger Shield is a community-created secondary weapon for the Sniper. It is a crocodile hide, complete with a waving tail, stretched over a broken wooden frame. A bird skull is tied to the brown leather body strap.

Darwin's Danger Shield is worn on the Sniper's back. Instead of protecting the wearer from backstabs, it grants a passive bonus of afterburn immunity and a 50% increased flame resistance.
