The '''Deployable Cover''' is a form of [[Covenant]] [[Equipment]] introduced in ''[[Halo 3]]''.<ref>September 2007 issue of [[Electronic Gaming Monthly]]</ref>

== Overview ==
This piece of Equipment is similar to the [[Stationary Shield Generator]] seen in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]'', except now it is mobile. Any solid projectiles fired will be deflected by the shield, however [[plasma]]-based weapons fire are absorbed by the shield from either side. However, the Spartan Laser is capable of penetrating more than five deployable covers, assuming they are lined up close together. The user is given an enormous tactical advantage in exchange for being exposed from behind and to the left and right, so it is wise to deploy it towards your main threat, whereas the similar [[Bubble Shield]] provides complete 360 degree cover, but cannot be fired into or out of. 

The shield is deployed in the same manner as all other equipment in the game, and it will stay activated until it takes enough damage, or if left untouched for too long. The shield's health is represented by its color: it is normally blue, turns red/orange as it is damaged, and finally deactivates. If left alone, the shield will regenerate to full health. To deactivate the shield permanently, the base must be destroyed. This only works in campaign. In [[Multiplayer]], the deployable cover will self destruct after 30 seconds. It is also possible to make a "bubble" from two of these shields.

Like the [[Portable Gravity Lift]], the Deployable Cover, when activated, will be destroyed after a fall from a great height.

==Trivia==
*There is a flaw in the Deployable Cover's shielding design; there is a small gap in between the shields where players can fire through.
*Deployable cover is often used as an area to jump off of, as it is easier to use than the [[grenade jump]] for some players. One of this tactic's best uses is to get both of the skulls from the level [[The Ark (level)]], Famine and Catch, in ''Halo 3''.
*In Campaign mode, the Deployable Cover is completely immune to the projectiles fired by [[Flood]] [[Pure Form|Ranged Forms]] making it very useful on the eighth level of ''Halo 3'', ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]'', especially on higher difficulties in places with little cover.
*Enemies cannot detect you through a Deployable Cover even on the highest difficulties, so you can just watch your enemies stand there while you pick them off with a [[Battle Rifle]]. This can be especially helpful on the part of [[Crow's Nest (Level)|Crow's Nest]], where you have to battle eight [[Brutes]] and a [[Chieftain]], since there are plenty of Deployable Covers around.
* It's possible to gather enough Deployable covers (like in Forge) and create a makeshift but stronger imitation of a bubble shield that does not cover the top, allowing people to possibly jump over.
* The Deployable Cover is banned from matchmaking along with the [[Radar Jammer]] and [[Flare]].
* If you shoot at the Deployable Cover with the [[SRS99D-S2 AM|Sniper Rifle]], the bullet will go directly through and hit whatever is behind (or in front of) the sheild, but not affect it's health; making it a useful sniper cover when not much is around.
* A glitch in the campaign allows players to shoot through the back of a Deployable Cover with any human ballitic weapon, i.e. the Battle Rifle or Assault Rifle. This is especially helpful on the second level of ''Halo 3'', Crow's Nest, where you have to fight all the drones.
*Because it can only really deflect bullet-like shots, the Deployable Cover is originally intended for humans and is very similar to the version found in [[Halo 2]].

-The deployable cover is a small, portable [[equipment]] piece used by the [[Covenant]] in a role similar to the [[Covenant portable shield]]. The emitter module itself is a teardrop-shaped equipment piece that, when deployed, unfolds into an [[Energy shielding|energy shield]] generator capable of projecting a large shield into the area around it. Any solid projectiles fired will be deflected by the shield; however, [[plasma]]-based weapons fire are absorbed by the shield from either side. The shield's health is represented by its color: it is normally blue, turns red/orange as it is damaged, and finally deactivates. If left alone, the shield will regenerate to full health.

-===''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST''===
-The deployable cover is featured as an [[equipment]] piece in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. In ''Halo 3'', it is useable by both the player or by [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] enemies while in ''ODST'', it is only useable by enemy AI. The shield is deployed in the same manner as all other equipment in the game, and it will stay activated until it takes enough damage, or if left untouched for too long.
-In [[campaign]], the shield will stay active indefinitely if left alone while in [[multiplayer]], the deployable cover will self-destruct after 30 seconds. Like the [[portable gravity lift]], the deployable cover will be destroyed after a fall from a great height.

-In campaign mode, the deployable cover is completely immune to the solid projectiles fired by [[Flood]] [[Flood pure form|Ranged Forms]], making it very useful on the eighth level of ''Halo 3'', [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]], especially on higher difficulties. Enemy AI cannot detect the player through a deployable cover, even on Legendary, making it possible for a player to take cover right in front of the enemy. This can be especially helpful on part of [[Crow's Nest]], where eight [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] plus a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] are present, as there are multiple deployable covers available.
