People tend to forget to use the Shield so it's no surprise that they not only buffed the shield in The Foundation update with another offensive capability, but also designed new enemies and a new setpiece totally around the shield being your only defensive option. As someone who rarely used the shield before this DLC (but also didn't find the game all that difficult anyway), use the shield. It makes your life so so so much easier.
There's also a new Health On Launch Hits mod that's amazing. Pray to the RNG gods you can find it early
