Heavy Assault soldiers also have access to prototype Nanite Mesh Generators that temporarily reduce the velocity of incoming projectiles, decreasing their kinetic impact on the user.

I called this 2-3 weeks ago, you can see it in one of the GDC videos

TR Rexo with bright red shield that absorbs approximatley 20-22 Gauss rounds and the rexo still has full health (didn't break shield). The bright shield effect fades during the killcam and lasted 6 seconds on-camera, but it was already on before he came into sight. So we know this kinetic shield ability lasts at least 7 seconds or so currently.

And damn that TR Rexo model looks even better.
