History of Repulsor Brace

Repulsor Brace is a basic weapon trait introduced in Season 17: defeating a Void-debuffed target grants an Overshield. It can roll on the Void Shotgun Scavenger's Fate, where it pairs well with Destabilizing Rounds for Void builds. It is the first perk option on a PvE Scavenger's Fate roll and a solid alternative to Discord, especially with the recent Void Overshield buffs.

Void overshield buffs

The No Backup Plans exotic gives a damage buff while the player has a Void overshield: 35% PvE and 10% PvP damage, applying to Shotguns only. That makes Repulsor Brace's overshield a natural fit on Void shotguns.

Numbers

The debuff it keys off is in the Void Weaken category, which gives 15% PvE and 7.5% PvP bonus damage. Reported durations range from 2.5 to 10 seconds (for example, Snare Bomb applies 8 seconds in PvE and 2.5 seconds in PvP).
