Z-4190 bubble shield: Difference between revisions

Line 63:

A way of getting through an opponent's Bubble Shield is to get a [[vehicle]] and drive into the player hiding in the shield. This works particularly well with a [[Warthog]] or [[Ghost]]. Another strategy is to rush towards the shield and step back right when you're in front of it. If done correctly, the other player will overreact and step out of the shield, giving you an open shot.

Another strategy is to catch an opponent using heavy weapons by surprise by throwing a Bubble Shield in front of them as they fire. This calls for precise timing and close quarters. To pull this one off, a player must be within a reasonably close distance to the enemy and must deploy their Bubble Shield almost exactly as the enemy weapon is fired. The activating Bubble Shield will cause the shot to explode in their face, often causing a suicide or giving the Bubble Shield deployer the kill. This also applies to plasma grenades which will bounce off the surface of a Bubble Shield and can potentially stick to player who originally tossed it.

One anti-shield combo calls for a Bubble Shield and a [[Spike Grenade]]. If someone deploys a Bubble Shield as protection, then another person can walk into the shield and throw the spike grenade at the inside of the shield. When the grenade goes off, the Bubble Shield will keep the spikes inside, and anyone unlucky enough to be caught inside the shield, unless they are on the opposite side, will be killed by the ricocheting spikes.
