Another situation in which the bubble shield is useful is protecting you from a [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] detonation. It will stop the explosion from harming you completely, unless the explosion starts on the inside of the bubble shield. As such, it is advised that you at least exit the Scarab before using the bubble shield. Beware that the Scarab's debris will fall through the bubble shield and may end your moment of victory prematurely. Another strategy is to use a bubble shield as a stepping stone, breaking up combat and allowing the player to use the bubble shield to block enemy fire while retreating. This is especially useful at the end of [[The Storm]], where there are large, linear sections. | Another situation in which the bubble shield is useful is protecting you from a [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] detonation.

Charging into a bubble shield often catches Covenant troops off guard, and enemies wielding heavy weapons such as [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Guns]] or [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|Brute Shots]] will not fire at such close range. Bubble shielded enemies can easily be overpowered by melee or close-ranged weapons as their teammates look on helplessly outside. Keep in mind that the Flood will usually just charge right in, so it is not much use against Flood forms other than the [[Ranged form]]. | ||
