### Issue Type (Required):

Enemy Mechanics

### Issue Description (Required):

The bullwark’s shield stops plasma from going through and doesn’t even stagger the enemy.

### Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Someone posted a video on Redditt demonstrating the issue: [Reddit - The heart of the internet](https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/s/KJdjJRSw68)

I noticed in missions as well that I could no longer shoot through a bullwark’s shield. So it is not just one system and it happens in missions as well.

### Reproduction Rate (Required):

Rare (\<10%)

### Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

I noticed the same issue with my Veteran using a Plasma rifle.
