The Bloody Bracer is a secondary weapon for the Annihilator. It is a black stone shield with multiple light-blue crystals covering the shield, as well as two crystal/stone formations that resemble eyes.
This shield grants the user a 15% resistance against bullet damage, as well as inflicting 3 seconds of bleed upon hitting an enemy with a shield bash.

Tips
- The Bloody Bracer is the exact opposite of the Chargin' Targe: it helps you survive more bullets, but it won't protect you from explosions or fire.
- This is a good thing, as six of the nine classes fire bullet-type weapons. So in general, most of the time, you should survive longer.
- You can even survive a headshot from a Marksman! (As long as it's not fully charged. 450 damage is still way over your health pool of 175.)
- The bleeding can help track Agents or finish off weakened foes with a single explosive. But remember that you can only make them bleed if you bump into them while charging first.
- Not as tanky as if the Chargin' Targe was equipped but you can help the team with damage compensation.
- You can use this with the Furious Flagxe to effectively negate the 10% bullet damage vulnerability.
- With the Squire Boots as well, you can become the second fastest you could be (1% less than the Black Death with max souls) along with having a small bullet resistance, making you a foe to be reckoned with.
- Beware that Annihilator always screams loudly when charging forward. This is a sound that enemies can listen for and will give away your position if they haven't seen you yet.
