| The **Barrier** ability gives Barrier Guards (and [[OMNI Protectors]]) a base [[:armor]] equal to their [[:firewalls]]. Their firewalls can be hacked to lower the guards' armor; their base armor is 0 when they are fully hacked, or while they are [[:rebooting]]. | The **Barrier** ability gives Barrier Guards (and [[OMNI Protectors]]) a base [[:armor]] equal to their [[:firewalls]].

| When a Barrier Guard wakes up after being [[:KO|knocked out]], his firewalls are reset to their base level, which may be higher than their original level at the start of the mission due to the effects of [[:alarm level]] changes and [[:daemons:]]. | When a Barrier Guard wakes up after being [[:KO|knocked out]], or when he finishes [[:rebooting]], his firewalls are reset to their base level, which may be higher than their original level at the start of the mission due to the effects of [[:alarm level]] changes and [[:daemons:]]. |

| Like other guards, the actual armor level of a Barrier Guard is affected by the daemon [[:daemons:Chiton]] and the program [[:programs:Aces]]. Despite having firewalls, Barrier Guards are not [[:drones]] and are not controllable when hacked. Barrier Guards never initially have [[:daemons:]] installed on them. | Like other guards, the actual armor level of a Barrier Guard is affected by the daemon [[:daemons:Chiton]] and the program [[:programs:Aces]].
