Hardlight shields are frequently employed by the ground forces of the mechanical [[Promethean]]s, with [[Promethean Watcher|Watchers]] providing different types of shield for [[Promethean Knight|Knight]] and [[Promethean Crawler|Crawlers]] in combat. This technology can be adapted for use with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], allowing [[Spartan (branch)|Spartans]] to use the shield to protect themselves from incoming fire. The detrimental effects of raising the Hardlight Shield include rendering the user unable to use weapons and the energy shield of the player is prevented from recharging until the player is finished utilizing the ability.
