The ''[[Drop Shield]]'' is a spherical energy shield that 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> but it also heals the health (but not the shields) of the players inside it in a manner similar to the [[Regenerator]]. It will deactivate if it takes too much damage. The damage is represented in color stages similar to the [[Deployable Cover]] in ''Halo 3''.<ref>[http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-halo-reach/700445 '''GameTrailers''': ''E3 2010: Multiplayer Walkthrough Pt 2 HD'']</ref> The strength of the shield is approximately 3 times that of a MJOLNIR MK V's energy shielding. Unlike the bubble shield in Halo 3, plasma grenades will stick to the surface of the shield.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=28515 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 09/10/10'']</ref> The Armor Ability is known to be used on the Medic loadout in Firefight and Multiplayer. When deploying the Drop Shield, the player crouches into a stance similar to a Armor Lock, but they extend their left leg out. The player can then move and walk through the shield. Activating the Drop Shield fully drains the Armor Ability meter. The Drop Shield expires and deactivates once the Armor Ability meter is at 2/3 full, unless it is prematurely deactivated from damage.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZot6VpfRnY '''YouTube''': ''Halo: Reach Firefight Introduction and trailer at the Reach Press Event June 15, 2010'']</ref><ref>[http://www.justin.tv/spack_e32010/b/265331053 '''Justin.tv''': ''G4TV LIVE'']</ref> | The ''[[Drop Shield]]'' is a spherical energy shield that 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> but it also heals the health (but not the shields) of the players inside it in a manner similar to the [[Regenerator]].

The Drop Shield's health regeneration also scales with the health recharge of the player. If the health recharge rate is set to 0%, then the shield will not heal the player at all. | The Drop Shield's health regeneration also scales with the health recharge of the player, so the faster the player's base health regeneration is, the faster the Drop Shield regenerates it. If the health recharge rate is set to 0%, then the shield will not heal the player at all. | ||
