Heat Shield

The Heat Shield is an upgrade in Pikmin: Forces of Evil. When Captain Olimar finds it after defeating Ridley in Zebes, he can pass through fire without his suit taking damage and the damage rate of lava is reduced from 10 to 4 points per second. In addition to lifting one of the locks on the chamber leading to the Zebesian Core, this makes accessing the Bulborb's Lair much easier. The Heat Shield functions like the Varia Suit from the Metroid series, but does not reduce any other form of damage.
