Z-4190 bubble shield: Difference between revisions

The Bubble Shield is an incredibly useful piece of equipment in any [[Multiplayer]] game or match. These are a few yet vital tactics that you should know if you want to use the Bubble Shield to its full potential. If you have been in a close range fight with another player and your shields are down, it is often a good idea to use a bubble shield to give your shields time to recharge before you go frag your next victim. Also if you have a [[Shotgun]] or [[Energy Sword]] or a Gravity Hammer as your secondary weapon and a player with a regular weapon ([[Assault Rifle]] or [[Battle Rifle]]) is running to you, drop the shield so that they will be forced to come through the shield to finish you. Right before the player gets to the shield, pull out your sword/shotgun and blast them when they step through. If you do not have a close range weapon, use this same strategy except with a [[Frag]] or [[Spike Grenade]]. Time the grenade so that it will explode right as they step through while you step out the other side of the shield to avoid damage. Another good strategy is to throw a spike grenade into the bubble; The blast/spikes will be contained in the shield. The spikes will also fly and hit any player within the bubble causing massive amounts of damage even if it doesn't kill them outright but be ready with a weapon to finish off those that do survive the blast to quickly rack up the kills. This trick has been nicknamed by many Halo players the Shrapnel tactic.
