Changes
If an explosive weapon has the '''bouncing''' trait ([[VOG-25P]] grenades), then they have the ability to '''ignore cover entirely''', acting as though there was no cover in the first place. There is no countermeasure for bouncing explosives!
= Explosives versus Shields =
=== Physical shields ===
Similarly to cover, [[shields|physical shields]] will absorb target damage, but will '''not''' protect against splash damage, unless the shield in question is '''blast-resistant''', in which case it will protect from both target and splash damage.
'''Bouncing''' explosives will circumvent shields just as they would circumvent cover.
=== Special shields ===
Special shields (e.g., the [[shrine maiden]]'s light shield) are typically '''fully impenetrable''' until they run out of HP. This means that they will ''absorb target damage'', ''prevent splash damage from hurting the wearer'', like a blast-resistant shield, and ''protect against bouncing explosives'', treating them as if they weren't bouncing.
