Shield Charger

The Shield Charger was a protective weapon manufactured by MegaCorp which generated an energy shield around the user. The shield protected the user from enemy fire until it wore out, shocking and repelling any enemies touching it. The shield charger had a high voltage electrostatic component. The weapon allowed the user to use other weapons simultaneously. With enough damage absorption the weapon could be upgraded into the Tesla Barrier.

Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando
It could be purchased at any MegaCorp vendors after Ratchet and Clank had traveled to Aranos.

Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Ratchet and Clank could acquire the Shield Charger from Slim Cognito on planet Aquatos after landing on Mylon.

Behind the scenes
In Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal the Shield Charger is free if the weapon is purchased in an existing Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando game save on the same memory card for the PlayStation 2 or on the same user profile and PlayStation 3 system for the high-definition re-release and The Ratchet & Clank Collection.

When a laser has been successfully redirected in Up Your Arsenal using the Refractor, a white swirling object is left at the redirection point of the laser, this is actually the 3D model of the Shield Charger.
