Unlike the barriers encountered in [[Voi]] and on [[Harvest]], infantry forces could not pass through these to reach the power source. [[Fireteam Osiris]] was able to take down the first one by heading through a side passage in a nearby where a small opening gave them a shot on the shield generator. In the second case, Osiris was able to break through a cracked wall below the shield's location and come up behind it to take out the shield generator.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', campaign level ''[[Enemy Lines]]''</ref> | ||
On [[Genesis]], the Covenant deployed several of these to protect one of the gravitational cores Osiris had to destroy to free [[Blue Team]]'s [[Cryptum]]. Unlike the other barriers, these were vulnerable to weapons fire, particularly from a [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantis|Mantis]], taking down the shields and allowing Osiris to destroy the gravitational core and continue on with their mission.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', campaign level ''[[Guardians]]''</ref> | On [[Genesis]], the Covenant deployed several of these to protect one of the gravitational cores Osiris had to destroy to free [[Blue Team]]'s [[Cryptum]].
