Statistics
Type	Repro
Shop Cost	17 Nuts
Salvage	1 Scrapbits

Orbital Barrier is a Repro-type augment. When obtained, it slowly orbits around the user, completing a full orbit in 3 seconds. Any enemy projectiles which hit the Repro will be blocked.

Picking up more than one Orbital Barrier will add an additional barrier around the user for every stack they obtain, up to a total of 8. Collecting any more than 8 will automatically convert them into 25 Nuts. With the Zookeeper's Set Bonus active, the barriers rotate 50% faster, completing an orbit in 2 seconds.

Synergies

• Blocking projectiles with Orbital Barrier counts as defending for purposes of charging Reboot.

Bugs

• If the player has the Resonant Chestplate, Orbital Barrier will fire a fan of 5 shots upon blocking a projectile identically to how Oxjack's Guile does.

Trivia

• Orbital Barrier is based on the 20XX augment Minimech O. Grinder, and has the exact same effect.
