Covenant portable shield

A Stationary Shield Generator is a device used by the Covenant during offensive ground operations. These shields are larger versions of the Jackal Personal Arm Shield. They are created by three small portable generators that are attached together and, when activated, provide extra protection for Covenant troops. These are normally placed at strategic locations, like doors or building entrances, when the Covenant are guarding a small, temporary position. This information is derived from first-hand accounts, though it is unknown how the energy fields are generated. They can deflect all projectiles except rockets, explosions, or large amounts of plasma fire. In Halo: Combat Evolved if one of these shields is hit by a vehicle, it will be permanently disabled. In Halo 2, vehicles cannot collapse them on impact. In Halo 3 it reappears as a piece of Equipment, the Deployable Cover, where it can be deployed by troops.

Trivia

 * You cannot be seen by the Covenant behind one of these shields.
 * If you fire at a shield with a human weapon, the shots may bounce back and harm you. This can be graphically demonstrated with a sniper rifle, and there have been instances of multiplayer suicides due to that particular scenario occurring.
 * If you have a shotgun and you walk right up against it, the barrel goes through and you can shoot through it.
