How to Make a 200-Million Shield on Borderlands

"Borderlands" is a first-person shooter available on multiple consoles and the personal computer. You play as one of four characters and must battle various enemies. To aid you in your quest, you have access to weapons and armor, including a shield. The shield protects you from enemy attacks. You start with a default shield and can buy upgrades to improve the shield's defense statistics. "Borderlands" has a limited number of shields, each of which has a different set of attributes. None of the regular shields has 200 million hit-points' worth of damage resistance; in order to get a shield that strong, you must use a modification. Modify the shield by boosting its traits and adding the "Scorpio" upgrade. The combination gives the shield 200 million hit-points of defense. Modified shields can only be used in the PC version of "Borderlands."
