The '''Regenerator''' is a piece of [[Equipment]] used in ''[[Halo 3]]''.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]''</ref> In terms of function, it may be related to the [[Sterile Field Generator]]. It is the counterpart to another piece of equipment, the [[Power Drain]]. | |||

==Background== | |||
The Regenerator is similar in design to the [[Bubble Shield]], although instead of projecting a shield, it emits a green field of energy which restores a player's [[shield]] as well as those of anybody near the player, including enemies, for fifteen seconds. There is, however, a small delay before beginning the recharge, which means the player is still vulnerable. Although players may be healed quickly and may have a better chance at surviving a one-on-one battle, players can still be killed with a [[headshot]] (with a [[Sniper Rifle]]) or close range with a [[Shotgun]]. | |||
==Origin== | |||
Oddly, the Regenerator's manufacturer is never explicitly stated. It has been seen used by both Covenant and UNSC forces in the later battles of the Human-Covenant War. Given it's similar design to the Bubble Shield (which may be of Forerunner origin), it may be a Forerunner device that was found and used by the Covenant and later the UNSC. | |||
== | ==Tactics== | ||
*Using the Regenerator in conjunction with short range weapons leaves you almost invincible, though you will still be vulnerable to snipers. | |||
*A Regenerator is very useful for defending yourself against [[grenades]]. Some players believe they could survive a grenade spammer with a Regenerator, however, if two frag grenades are thrown in succession, they are enough to kill a player while standing inside a Regenerator's field. | |||
*Another tactic is a grenade followed with a quick headshot on a normally-shielded opponent. | |||
*In [[campaign]], if a Brute throws a Regenerator, do not run into it, as it heals him too. All in all, do not run into an enemy's Regenerator just because it exists. | |||
*Use the Regenerator to quickly recover from an instant shield dropping blow. If in teams, it is best to drop the Regenerator and have somebody drop a Bubble Shield. If in Free For All, drop it in a hard to reach place, like one of the Shotgun corners in ''[[The Pit]]''. | |||
*When in a Regenerator with an opponent, melee, don't shoot; it is a much more effective way to take down your opponents, unless you have a weapon such as a Shotgun, Sniper, or a Mauler (one-shot kill, or close to a one-shot kill). | |||
*Throwing a Regenerator inside a Bubble Shield while camping is a way to survive the grenade that is often dropped after a player's death. | |||
*A Regenerator does not recharge an Overshield; only the normal shielding. | |||
*Try using the Regenerator against enemy players on [[Narrows (Level)|Narrows]] by throwing it in a Man Cannon (see trivia). | |||
*When playing [[King of the Hill]] gametypes, throwing down a Regenerator inside the hill can help you sustain control, but can ultimately lead to many contentions for the hill by multiple players constantly having full shields. | |||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Regenerators have magnetic abilities on Narrow's Man Cannons, so if a person jumps on one, and another player on the other side throws a Regenerator onto their man cannon, the player's movement will be reversed and he will land back were he came from. | |||
*[[Brutes]] have a tendency to throw out Regenerators to help repair their [[Power Armor]]. They also throw Regenerators out to protect their [[Chieftains]]. This can be particularly infuriating on higher difficulties. | |||
*If you stand near a Regenerator, you will hear a pulsating sound, much like a heartbeat. | |||
Four melee strikes to the base of | *In [[Forge]], if you fix the respawn rate of the Regenerator to instant respawn, and if you keep deploying them, you will get practically unlimited health. | ||
*The Regenerator does not make you invincible, just more difficult to kill. You can still be killed by one-hit kill weapons ([[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]], [[Spartan Laser]], [[Plasma Grenades]], [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel|Sniper Rifles]] etc.), [[assassination]]s, quick [[melee]]s, and being overwhelmed by automatic or Battle Rifle fire. The Regenerator does not begin to regenerate shields immediately after deployment, giving your opponent a small window of opportunity to kill you if your shields are still low. | |||
*The top green part of the Regenerator spins 360 degrees constantly. | |||
*If you stick a [[Spike Grenade]] to the top green part of a Regenerator, it will spin around with it before exploding. | |||
*It should be noted that the Regenerator only speeds up the shield recharging time, and not the health recharging time. | |||
*Players can sustain two or even three melees while within the healing effect of the Regenerator. | |||
*Four standard melee strikes to the base unit of a Regenerator will destroy it. | |||
*When playing on maps or areas with low levels of light, the Regenerator can occasionally obscure your vision, leaving you open to enemy attacks. | |||
*If you continuously shoot a player standing in the Regenerator's field with a weak weapon like the Magnum, you can occasionally hear the Spartans or Elites yelling in pain, even though the projectiles are only hitting their shields. | |||
*If you throw a Regenerator and a [[Power Drain]] together, your shields will drop, even if the Regenerator is closer. This is because the effect of the Power Drain will overwhelm the effect of a Regenerator. | |||
