Laser Shield
The Laser Shield is a shield in Jazz Jackrabbit 2 that creates a field of light around the character. While this shield is activated, the character’s blaster can fire lasers straight forward that cause two hearts of damage upon a hit. Unlike the other shields, the laser shield’s shots cannot be fired at an angle and always travel with the player. The lasers also pierce masked tiles and instantly destroy any block. During the shield’s activity, the player cannot lose hearts. However, if he is hit the shield’s remaining time is decreased. It is also a JCS Event.
The laser shield suffers from a few bugs. It cannot be placed in JCS and is only accessible through the jjshield cheat. If it is acquired in a multiplayer game through a cheating program, firing it will usually crash the server. These bugs are fixed in JJ2+, which additionally adds a proper sprite to the pickup event so it may be placed in the level via JCS and collected by players in the game.
