==Description==
When activated, the Drop Shield generates a blue-tinted spherical protective [[energy shielding|energy shield]], and also provides a [[Health|regenerative effect]] to those within it. The regeneration is a side effect not fully understood by the UNSC, and was still under investigation by [[2552]].
When activated, the Drop Shield generates a blue-tinted spherical protective [[energy shielding|energy shield]], and also provides a [[Health|regenerative effect]] to those within it. Curiously, the regeneration is a side effect not fully understood by the UNSC, and was still under investigation by [[2552]]. Unlike the Bubble Shield, the Drop Shield will expire if it takes too much damage.<ref name="manual"/> The shield is enabled by a small device attached to the user's back. Once activated, the shield stays in place and seems to operate without a visible emitter of any kind. Like the Bubble Shield, the Drop Shield resembles a [[Wikipedia:Geodesic dome|geodesic dome]], made of tessellating hexagons.

*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.
