| The '''regenerator''' is a piece of [[equipment]] used and developed by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview==
| | The '''Regenerator''' is a piece of equipment <ref>''[[Halo 3]]''</ref>. |
| ===Design details===
| |
| 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}}
| | == Background == |
| | [[Image:Regenerator in action.jpg|thumb|left|300px|A Regenerator in action.]] |
| | The Regenerator, like the [[Bubble Shield]], emits a small, green field of energy which restores a player's shield as well as an enemy's for 15 Seconds. There is, however, a small delay before beginning the recharge, which means the player is still vulnerable, and you are vulnerable to weapons which can kill the player in one shot. It also is less effective if a lot of enemies are firing at you. It is the exact opposite of the [[Power Drain]] and when it is used in the same area as a [[Power Drain]], the Power Drain overpowers the Regenerator. Other ways in which the Regenerator is dissimilar from the Power Drain is that the Regenerator remains rooted in the same spot where it is deployed while the [[Power Drain]] can move around. |

|
| 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.
| | == Trivia == |
|
| |
|
| ===Usage===
| | *[[Brutes]] have a tendency to throw out Regenerators to help repair the impact diffusion feature of their [[Power Armor]]. |
| 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}}
| | *If you stand near a Regenerator, you will hear a heart beating. |
| | *When in a Regenerator with an opponent, melee, don't shoot, it's a much more effective way to take down your opponents. |
| | *If you stick a spike grenade to a Regenerator it will spin around with it. |

| ==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.
