Health, shield and regeneration

Diagram health and shield

Each bot has a health (blue) and a shield (white) bar. The shield absorbs damages before its health gets afflicted.

If the shield isn't damaged for 3 seconds it will automatically regenerate. A full shield regeneration lasts 3 seconds independent of the shield value of the bot class.

Bot class	Health	Shield	Regeneration
Shotgun	3000	5000	1667 shield / second
Assault	5000	3000	1000 shield / second
Sniper	3000	3000	1000 shield / second
Machine gun	7000	5000	1667 shield / second
