Just won a BB from the event; never fully understood is use or what bots would take advantage of its capabilities. Could someone educate me? Thanks in advance!

Beacon runners/cappers for sure, and brawlers since Pix changed its activation mechanic. I think not quite as useful on Ao Jun, leech or phantom. 20sec or so of damage reduction ain't bad. I would take it over any common module.

Works best on your beacon capper that you send to a heavily contested beacon. IMO works best on a phantom. But the resistance activate with the first hit you take. So if you get hit by a stray bullet a 500m , the timer starts. |

From my understanding, it adds to your bot's damage resistance DR rating for a period of time that starts after you first lose HP. Not sure if effects like Leech Repulse will activate it as I have not used mine much yet. Many put it on bots that already have DR but that means you get less damage mitigation from the module. Thinking of using it with bots that have no DR like my Cerberus where its low HP pool would benefit from the 20% less damage a Battle Born level 1 would give. If used on a bot that has a DR of 50, then you only get 7.9% additional damage mitigation from a level 1 Battle Born. Stats can be found in the wiki. |

Thanks for the thread, op....I also won a BB, and only “bought” Fortifiers for my Bully, so the other premium modules are mysterious to me, too....
Based upon the forum answers so far, I planted mine on my Strider.
Good, bad or ugly? I have no clue, lol

It would work best on a bot that doesn't already have DR because BB is points I think.

I would put it on a tank bot for when the crapola hits the fan in your battle, or if you want to defend a heavily contested position, you would be able to turn the tide more in your teams favor or in your favor if you are doing FFA matches. I don't do FFA so I can't really help you there.

Tried mine on Fenrir first, but I think armor is better (unless maybe if trying to save a beacon in BR).
I like it way better on my Phantom (first bot out except in TDM), makes aggressive beacon attacks last a bit longer and maybe more effective (all flames and only level 1.9 in low Champions League).
BB is only level 1, I plan to level it up but only after I level up my Blazes an Igniter.

If you're that guy who sends a beacon runner to center most matches and brawls it out... then it's very helpful on that bot. Although, I suggest leveling it to get the full damage resistance. I use mine on an igniter leech that I send to center almost every match. The trick (as others have mentioned) is not getting nicked by one single projectile on the way there since it starts the 20 sec timer. I'll even phase shift if I'm running to center and see reds firing my way just to save that timer.

Full disclosure: My Phantom used to have maxed BB and AC on it. I replaced it with 2 maxed Heavy Armor Kit. It seems that on average my Phantom lives longer now. I blink if I get rooted.
2.12, Legendary Pilot, AH, 2 x HAKs, Last Stand, Max Taser.
When piloted with a semblance of frickin' brains, it can be a terror. Taser disrespects other Phantoms. Burns though PCs though. At times can assassinate Ares with extreme prejudice.
