The '''M2705 Regenerative Kinetic Dispersal Field''' ('''M2705 RKDF'''), also known as '''Regeneration Field''', is a piece of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] equipment developed by [[Acheron Security]].<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/detail/8a37becb-6387-415e-a65c-66b16d7dbb1d/regeneration-field '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo 4 Intel - Regeneration Field'']</ref> It is utilized by the [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]] on board the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.

The origin of the technology that allows the Regeneration Field to do this is heavily classified, per [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]]-authored contractor obligation clauses.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS142}}

== Gameplay ==
The Regeneration Field is available as an [[Armor abilities|armor ability]] in ''[[Halo 4]]''. When activated, the Spartan thrusts their chest out to produce a spherical field of green energy, which rapidly restores the [[Energy shielding|shields]] of anyone in its radius. The field lasts for ten seconds before disappearing. Unlike the [[drop shield]] and [[bubble shield]], the Regeneration Field does not block projectiles from entering in and out of the area, though it does have a brief deflecting effect in the second that it is activated. During that first second, the expanding field pushes away large objects from the Spartan, including vehicles, ammo boxes, and rockets.

While inside the field, vision is blurry and sounds are distorted. This may have an adverse effect on the player's aim, and thus encourages them to exit the field once their shields are full, unlike the Drop and Bubble Shield, which encouraged players to hide inside.

The Regeneration Field reappears in ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'', where it functions essentially identical to how it did in ''Halo 4''. The field lasts for seven seconds in the game, and unlike its Halo 4 brethren, can heal friendly NPCs who enter it.<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'''</ref>

== Trivia ==
{{linkbox|gallery=yes}}
* Regeneration Field serves a similar purpose as the [[Regenerator]] [[equipment]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''. The sound within the field is similar as well, minus the pulsing heartbeat. 
* Its armor-mounted unit shares design features with the [[Z-2500 autosentry|Autosentry]] and [[Z-5080 Promethean vision|Promethean Vision]], making it possible that it is derived from Forerunner technology, a possibility more than suggested by the Forerunner's impressive grasp of medical technology.
