Like in most action shooter games, the world of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is chaotic and swarming with different enemies. Various aliens will try their best to take you down, and as you progress through the story, their strength will only go up. Therefore, it’s best to keep your shield recharged as much as possible. While it’s not that hard to do, it’s easy to forget how to keep it charged at all times. But, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

The mechanic of recharging shields becomes available relatively quickly in the game. It’s actually called “Shield Harvesting,” and requires you to finish enemies with melee attacks when they hit a specific state in combat.

First, shoot them in the legs to make them enter a “Shield Harvestable state.” Once in this state, they will burn with blue-colored flames, and you need to attack them with melee attacks, replenishing your personal Shield.

Obviously, sometimes it’s not possible to shoot enemies in the legs, especially if you’re above them, which is common in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, as the majority of the game takes place in Metropolis. But, keep in mind this mechanic, as it’s extremely helpful, especially during demanding boss battles.
