"Shield Bubble" Walk-through with Spoilers
This mod begins a short while after exiting Vault 111 for the first time when playing a new character. For an existing character, or when using an "alternate start" mod, it begins when outdoors in the Commonwealth region of the base game.
Key Features:
Spoiler:
• ElectroMagnetic Force-Field that provides exceptional protection against incoming weapon damage
• Effective Versus: Ballistic, Explosive, Energy, and Electrical
• Also reduces Limb Damage by 85%
• Duration: approximately 30 seconds
• Recharge Time: 20 minutes
Sounds pretty nifty, doesn't it? Could be quite useful during really tough fights.
This is a kind of Panic Button that will probably save your life. It is most effective when held in reserve for moments of extreme danger. It will not abate all injury while active, but does help ensure survival from what would otherwise be fatal damage. The duration, although brief, is long enough to either defeat that enemy or to facilitate retreat to a safer location.

Wait a short while as your character repairs the Shield Bubble Generator. Once that work is completed the item will be placed in the AID section of the player character's inventory. To use the Shield Bubble Generator, click it and then exit the Pip-Boy display. See the How To Use It section below for further details.
How To Use It:
Spoiler:
Open the AID section of the player character's inventory and click the Shield Bubble Generator item. Then exit the Pip-Boy display.
A shield bubble appears and is centered on the player character. It maintains a (more or less) centered position as the character moves around.
After 30 seconds has elapsed the bubble disappears and the generator begins its recharge cycle that lasts for 20 minutes. Sleeping, Waiting, and Fast Travel will automatically complete the recharging process.
To see the time remaining during recharge, click the Shield Bubble Generator [recharging] item and then exit the Pip-Boy display.
