Powers and Emotions
The power of the resurrection grants you the ability to stop bullets being shot at you. The shield retains the bullets until they hit something like a wall or an enemy. In the latter example, the bullet would kill or wound the enemy, making it a useful tool. Also, if the player deactivates the shield while bullets are caught in it, they will be shot back in reverse trajectory, which will kill any enemies that are hit by the flying bullets. You're also able to increase the amount of damage you can take. You can do this by making three knife kills within a limited time. In order to increase the power of your shield, the same process must be completed, however instead of three knife kills you must get three head shots. In the game the effects of these actions are called rage and anger.Weapons used in ÜberSoldier
