Each week we’ll roll out new rewards for the Featured Episode “Mirrors and Smoke”. Last week’s reward was the Kentari Mass-Produced Missile Launcher. This week’s reward is the Kentari Fortified Personal Shield. In addition, the first completion of this mission on an account this week will grant a Featured Episode Weekly Reward Box. This box gives your choice of an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade or a Captain Specialization Point Box, which gives the character who opens it a Specialization Point. The Weekly Reward Box, Tech Upgrade, and Specialization Point Box are all Bound to Account, and may be freely traded between your characters. The Specialization Point Box requires the opening character to be level 50 or above.



The Kentari Fortified Personal Shield was designed to be able to react to incoming threats by modulating some of its excessive power to boost the effects of plasma based weaponry. Additionally, when used with other Kentari designed gear the excessive power can be further modulated to protect the wearer. This effect is not guaranteed to occur as that would not be cost-effective.

The Kentari Fortified Personal Shield counts towards the Excessive Development set. Collect and equip pieces from this set to unlock powerful set bonuses:

Excessive Development

Defensive Countermeasures (2 piece)

This 2 piece bonus provides:

Kentari Armor and Shield gain: 12.5% chance: +Temporary Hit Points for 60 seconds when you take damage.

+20% Plasma Damage

Residuum Reactant Deployment (3 piece)

This 3 piece bonus provides:

Call in a bombardment of Plasma Residuum reactant. The target area is applied with a healthy coating of residuum reactant stacks. Once applied you can then trigger this power again to deploy a catalyst within the hazardous area to deal additional damage based on the amount of residuum reactant stacks.

Next week we’ll reveal the final reward for “Mirrors and Smoke”
