A Sangheili Ultra deflects enemy fire with an Energy shield.
A Point Defense Gauntlet is a protection orientated device carried by the Sangheili of the Covenant and later, the Separatists [1].
Operational Use
While the Point Defense Gauntlet has never been encountered by UNSC forces, it was used by Commander Rtas 'Vadumee during the destruction of the Infinite Succor. Instead of the triple-layered shield that at least one Sangheili has seen with, this was a diamond-shaped shield with only one layer.
These shields are very similar to the Kig-yar Point Defense Gauntlet, except the Kig-Yar Point Defense Gauntlets produce round and deep shields while the Sangheili version is flat and less practical in a battle.
This shield is singularly comparable to the Sangheili Personal Energy Shield.
Trivia
- This item was going to be used in Halo: Combat Evolved by Sangheili soldiers, though was replaced by the Personal Energy Shields and was given to Jackals instead.
- The only UNSC encounter with it is in the Halo: Combat Evolved E3 2000 Trailer.
- This Shield is very similar to the Kig-Yar's Point Defense Gauntlet.
- It may be possible that the Kig-Yar's defense gauntlets may be improved versions of the Sangheili Point Defense Gauntlet.
- Hunters sport a hardened alloy version of this.
- It is possible that the humans destroyed all of these items like how the covenant destroyed all of the M6D Personal Defense weapon system.
