An '''anti-vehicle barrier''' is a wall of plasma energy used to stop [[vehicles]] and [[weapons]]. The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] barrier can be easily penetrated by other objects, including enemy infantry.

The barrier functions similarly to a large [[shield door]], and bears a resemblance to the [[Deployable Cover]] [[equipment]]. It was first seen in use during the [[Harvest Campaign]],<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level, ''[[Relic Approach]]''</ref> and several variants later used in [[2552]] during the [[Battle of Mombasa]] and on the [[Tsavo Highway]] to prevent [[UNSC]] forces from reaching [[Voi]].<ref name="tsavo">'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[Tsavo Highway (level)|Tsavo Highway]]''</ref> The barriers seen in Mombasa were apparently a more advanced iteration of the technology, featuring a fully protected power source and not allowing enemy infantry to pass through.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', campaign level, ''[[Mombasa Streets]]''</ref> The power sources of the barriers are sometimes protected by additional sets of [[roadblock]]s.<ref name="tsavo"/>
