Energy Shields
The recharging barrier that absorbs damage for the player and the Covenant Elites in every Halo game.
In the Halo games the player character has a perpetually recharging energy shield that absorbs damage from weapons fire and forceful impacts. In Halo: Combat Evolved health is measured in hit points replenished with health packs, while the shield recharges on its own.
Lore & Background
Covenant Elites are protected by recharging energy shields similar to the player's own, Jackals carry a highly durable energy shield on one arm, and Sentinels produce an energy shield when under attack. Weapons differ in effect: the assault rifle has a high-capacity magazine but is less effective against energy shields.
