The '' | The '''Pavise of the Worthy'''<ref>[http://www.spartangames.co.uk/make-your-halo-table-look-awesome '''Spartan Games''': ''Make your Halo table look awesome!'']</ref>, or '''stationary shield generator'''<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 354''</ref>, is a device used by the [[Covenant]] during offensive ground operations.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved'''</ref> The human counterpart for the stationary shield is the [[combat barrier]]. | ||
== Overview == | == Overview == | ||
Essentially larger versions of the [[Kig-yar point defense gauntlet|point defense gauntlets]] used by [[Kig-yar]], towering at 2.49 meters, or 8.17 feet, these ovoid-shaped shields are used to provide extra protection for Covenant troops and are normally placed at strategic locations. They are effective at deflecting small-arms projectiles, but struggles against explosives or large amount of [[plasma]] fire. At least two variations exist: the first variant has a base with three points of field generation whereas the second variant has only one. | |||
== | == Gameplay == | ||
[[ | In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' if one of these shields is hit by a [[vehicle]], it will be permanently disabled. In ''[[Halo 2]]'', vehicles cannot collapse them on impact.<ref>'''Halo 2'''</ref> In ''[[Halo 3]]'' it reappears, but is remade as a piece of [[Equipment]], the [[Deployable Cover]], where it can be deployed by troops. | ||

The deployable cover replaced the stationary shield generator in ''Halo 3''. It is portable and curved rather than flat, and is destructible. | |||

* | *The AI won't see past shield generators since it acts as a solid, opaque object to the AI. | ||
* If a player has a [[ | *If a player has a [[Shotgun]], or other long barreled weapon, and they walk right up against a stationary shield, the barrel goes through the shield and one can shoot through it at opposing enemies. Similarly, it is possible to snipe enemies while never having to expose oneself and take cover again. The length of the weapon which is exposed should be disregarded, since the shot from most weapons come from the camera. | ||
* In ''[[Halo 2]]'' on the level [[Delta Halo]], one can use the stationary shield generators placed at the entrance to one of the Covenant-held temple complexes to propel their vehicle away at a high speed by first disabling the shields, placing the vehicle on the generator and waiting until the device activates. This can also happen in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', though if the player is in a human vehicle, it is likely to fall out and die from fall damage. | *In ''[[Halo 2]]'' on the level [[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]], one can use the stationary shield generators placed at the entrance to one of the Covenant-held temple complexes to propel their vehicle away at a high speed by first disabling the shields, placing the vehicle on the generator and waiting until the device activates.
