It also will not prevent Aloy from being staggered or knocked around by melee attacks like a Sawtooth's charge or a Thunderjaw's tail smash.

The only downside of this suit is that it completely does away with the ability to mod it. On the other hand, the lower HP means that the shield recharges at a faster rate compared to lower difficulties. On top of enemies dealing increased damage, this can reach a point where a normal Watcher can completely deplete the shield with a single body slam on Ultra Hard. At higher difficulties, the shield has progressively lower HP. The shield will beep once fully recharged. However, the shield can only block so much damage, and when the shield is depleted, it will flash from blue to red, at which point Aloy will receive any damage taken until the shield recharges. While the shield is active, Aloy cannot be staggered by ranged attacks. While this suit may not seem to offer much visible armor protection to the untrained eye, the suit frequently emits a glowing blue energy shield comprised of hexagonal projections that can block substantial damage, even from the Thunderjaw's normally devastating attacks.

Once obtained, instead of taking the full Ultraweave power armor, the Shield Weaver consists of a modified Nora Brave outfit with some armor on the head, chest, shoulders, and knees. By combining the armor's components with some of her pre-existing outfits, the Shield Weaver outfit was created. During her journey, she would find power cells in ruins, which she would use to repair the security lock and access the armor.

Stumbling into an ancient armory in the Sacred Land, Aloy came across a set of Ultraweave armor, locked in place by the ancient security systems. According to Major Garrow, it utilizes flexible nano-fiber weave instead of plating, and enhances protection with a 400 eV hard light micro-projector. The original Ultraweave power armor suit consists of an exoskeleton with a full helmet, thick torso plates, and armor plates on the waist and thighs.
