| The '''regenerator''' is a piece of [[equipment]] used and developed by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | | The '''Regenerator''' is a piece of equipment <ref>''[[Halo 3]]''</ref>. |

| ==Overview== | | ==Background== |
| ===Design details===
| | The Regenerator emits a green field of energy which restores a player's shield as well as an enemy's. There is, however, a small delay before beginning the recharge, which means the player is still vulnerable, and you are vulnerable to rocket fire and head shots from a sniper rifle. It also won't help if a lot of people are firing at you. It is the exact opposite of the [[Power Drainer]] and when it is used in the same area as a Power Drainer, the Power Drainer overpowers the Regenerator. |
| The regenerator takes the form of a battlefield equipment implement similar in nature to the [[Z-4190 bubble shield]]. It consists of a quadrupedal base, atop which sits a green, diamond-shaped emitter module. When activated, the emitter spins, glows bright green and projects an energy field capable of recharging [[energy shielding]] for nearby troops - both friendly and enemy.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} Regenerators generally self-destruct once their duration is finished,{{Ref/Game|H3|Regenerator in-game equipment}} though in at least some circumstances they are capable of being recharged and reused.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} | |
| | |
| Although of [[human]] origin, the regenerator's operating function bears resemblance to many other battlefield technologies used by both humanity and various alien civilisations of [[Milky Way|the galaxy]]. Most deployable equipment created by humanity was reverse-engineered from captured [[Covenant]] technology, which was in itself reverse-engineered from [[Forerunner]] sources; something which presumably also applies to the regenerator.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
| |
| | |
| Other similar equipment include the UNSC's own [[restoration drone]]s, [[Armor abilities|dome shield]] armour ability, and [[Repair Field]] equipment, alongside various Forerunner technologies - most pertinently the appropriately-named [[Forerunner Spire of Healing|Spire of Healing]]. The UNSC's [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war]] [[M2705 regeneration field]] armour ability bears an almost identical operation to the regenerator, though whether the two have any explicit connection is unknown.
| |
| | |
| ===Usage===
| |
| As expected given its origin, the regenerator is commonly used by UNSC personnel - predominantly energy shield-equipped infantry such as Spartans. However, [[Jiralhanae]] troops were known to frequently capture and use regenerators to repair their own [[Jiralhanae power armor|power armor]] during the war.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}

| | |
| ==In-game information==
| |
| ===''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST''===
| |
| The regenerator is similar in design to the [[Z-4190 bubble shield|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 have a better chance at surviving a one-on-one battle, players can still be killed with a [[headshot]] (with a [[Sniper_Rifle#Halo_3_and_Halo_3:_ODST|Sniper Rifle]]) or at close range with a [[Shotgun]].
| |
| | |
| Four melee strikes to the base of the regenerator will destroy it prematurely, alongside shooting at it with a weapon. If placed down in conjunction with a [[power drain]], the power drain's effects override the regenerator's, and the player will still lose their shields. However, if multiple regenerators are placed in [[Forge]], their effects will stack and effectively allow the player a brief form of invincibility.
| |
| | |
| In ''Halo 3: ODST'', the regenerator retains the same gameplay as it did in ''Halo 3'', though is now unuseable by the player.
