''[[Armor lock]]'', sometimes referred to as ''Armor Lockup'', is an ability that overcharges the player's energy shield, preventing the user from taking any damage. This ranges from repelling incoming explosive projectiles and removing {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}s to disabling, damaging or even destroying incoming vehicles. However, in doing so, the player is immobile and cannot perform any act. Once depleted, the armor ability discharges a short-range EMP blast effect and pushes players away from the user. | ''[[Armor lock]]'', sometimes referred to as ''Armor Lockup'', is an ability that overcharges the player's energy shield, preventing the user from taking any damage.

The ''[[drop shield]]'' provides players a spherical energy shield that also regenerates their health. In a way, it functions similarly to a [[bubble shield]],<ref>[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/109/1098584p1.html '''IGN.com''': ''E3 2010: Firefight in Halo: Reach – Bigger & Better'']</ref> a [[deployable cover]] and a [[regenerator]]. While having similar appearance as the bubble shield, the drop shield is not entirely invincible - the strength of the shield is approximately three times that of a standard energy shielding system - and will deactivate when the damage reaches a certain threshold. The damage is represented in color stages from blue to red, similar to the deployable cover. Additionally, unlike the bubble shield however, plasma grenades will stick to the surface of the shield.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=28515 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 09/10/10'']</ref> | The ''[[drop shield]]'' provides players a spherical energy shield that also regenerates their health.

The ''[[Sprint]]'' ability allows the player to move at an increased speed for approximately four seconds. In campaign, it is the default armor ability. Its pickup color is green. When activated, the player's character model will pant heavily. The sprinting scales with the player's movement speed; the faster the player moves, the faster the player sprints. Weapons cannot be used during the sprint. | The ''[[Sprint]]'' ability allows the player to move at an increased speed for approximately four seconds. In campaign, it is the default armor ability.
