</>What does Ironhide do?
Deep runs in Zad Archery end the same way: a pack you were not watching, a guardian that hits harder than the last one, and back to the menu with the loot still on the ground. Ironhide gives you two switches. Shrug It Off stops damage reaching you at all, so monsters, guardians and the King can swing as much as they like. Patch Me Up leaves the danger in but keeps refilling your health, which is the setting to use when you still want the fight to feel like a fight. Use both for a completely safe run while you push the monster level as far as it will go, or just the second one when you want to survive a bad pull without becoming unkillable. Turning either off puts you straight back to normal.

</>Common questions about Ironhide
What does Ironhide do in Zad Archery?
Ironhide keeps your archer alive in Zad Archery, and it has two switches. Shrug It Off stops damage reaching you completely, so monsters, guardians and the King can swing all they like without taking anything off your health. Patch Me Up leaves the danger in place but keeps your health refilled as you take hits, so you survive a bad pull without being untouchable. Use either on its own or both together. Deep runs in this game usually end the same way, on a pack you were not watching, with the loot still sitting on the ground.
What is the difference between Shrug It Off and Patch Me Up?
Shrug It Off is Ironhide's absolute setting: nothing that swings at you in Zad Archery takes health off, so the fight stops being a fight at all. Patch Me Up is the softer one. Damage still lands and your health bar still moves, but it keeps refilling, so a bad pull is survivable while the fight still feels like a fight. Most players use Patch Me Up for ordinary sessions where they want the tension kept, and switch to Shrug It Off when they are pushing the monster level as far as it will go.
Does it hold up against guardians and the King?
Yes. Shrug It Off covers everything that deals damage to you in Zad Archery, including guardian bosses and the King, which are exactly the fights where a run usually ends. That makes it the setting for climbing into monster levels your gear is not really ready for, because the damage those fights deal scales faster than your health does. Ironhide's softer switch, Patch Me Up, works in those fights too, but it becomes a race between their damage and your refill, so against a guardian that hits very hard the absolute switch is the safer pick.
Can I turn it off mid-run, and does anything stay changed?
Yes, and nothing lingers. Turning either Ironhide switch off in Zad Archery puts you straight back to normal from that moment, with damage landing and your health behaving exactly as the game intends. There is no lasting change to your archer to undo. That makes it easy to use selectively: leave it off for ordinary waves, flip Shrug It Off on for a guardian you are not ready for, then turn it back off and carry on. Both switches are independent, so you can also drop from full protection to the health refill without stopping.
Why run Ironhide alongside a damage mod?
Because raising your damage in Zad Archery does nothing about theirs. Bottomless Draw multiplies what you deal by up to a thousand times but leaves incoming damage untouched, so an enormous build can still die to a pack that wandered in behind you. Ironhide is the other half of that pairing and makes a deep monster-level push genuinely one sided. Paper Targets is the alternative approach, weakening the monsters themselves rather than protecting you, and the two work happily together if you want the danger reduced and a safety net underneath it.
What options does Ironhide include?
Patch Me Up
Keeps your health refilled as you take hits, so you survive bad pulls without being untouchable.
Shrug It Off
Damage stops reaching you completely. Monsters, guardians and the King can all swing away.
Ironhide is a free-tier ProjectMods mod for Zad Archery with two switches: Shrug It Off stops damage reaching you at all, and Patch Me Up keeps your health refilled while leaving the danger in place.
System Requirements
What features does Ironhide include?
- Shrug It Off stops damage reaching you at all, so monsters, guardians and the King swing for nothing.
- Patch Me Up keeps refilling your health instead, so a bad pull hurts but never ends the run.
- Run either switch on its own or both together, depending on how much bite you want left in a fight.
- Flip it off mid-run and you are back to normal health rules on the very next hit.
Best For
- Pushing the monster level far past your gear and wanting the run to end on your terms, not a surprise pack.
- Idling a long farming session while you do something else, and coming back to a run that is still alive.
- First guardian attempts where you want to watch the pattern rather than restart every thirty seconds.
- Streamers reading chat mid-run who genuinely cannot babysit a health bar at the same time.
- Players who still want the fight to feel dangerous, so they take the refill and leave the damage in.
