That said, the shield does break away with enough medium and heavy attacks: if ammo isn't important to you, several Warmonger shots will make short work of them.
They will always be facing towards you and the shield will absorb any damage from your weapons, so it's best to use a weapon with a throwing arc attack like the Shatterbomb that you can lob just behind them, so the explosion will cover their vulnerable back. This more than makes up for the Space Pirates lack of any flying units. The Shield Pirate is one of the most tricky enemies in Rift Apart, bearing a shield that blocks light attacks, allowing them to creep towards you for a melee strike. Many shields are also seen confiscated in a large pile at Zordoom Prison along with their pistols and swords, when the pirates were captured and imprisoned by the Nefarious Troopers. Several of the pirate's shields are seen at the entrance to the Gastropub in the weapons confiscation room. At Zurkie's Battleplex, they are fought during the Gold Cup challenge "Twice as Nice". The Shield Pirates are first encountered by Rivet during the Space Pirate's raid of Molonoth Gultch on Torren IV and later by Ratchet at their home base on planet Ardolis. Throughout the events of Rift Apart their armor will become upgraded and their attacks will inflict more damage. They are very similar to their Space Pirate counterpart unit in Ratchet's dimension the Hardy Buccaneer. The Shield Pirate is a guarding Space Pirate in Rift Apart, carrying a thick titanium shield that protects it from frontal attacks.
