Overshield

Line 25:

''Halo 4'' features the overshield in a different capacity than in previous games. Rather than only being found on the map, the overshield can be earned though ordnance drops. Rather than an orb, it appears as a green upright plank. It adds a single green layer of protection. A player will also earn an overshield in certain circumstances in specific gametypes. For example, earning a [[Kingtacular]] in [[Regicide]] or finding yourself in a Last Stand in [[Dominion]] will result in players automatically equipping an overshield.

The overshield can only be found in campaign mode in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. It is absent from the ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 4'' campaigns, and in ''Halo 3''<nowiki />'s campaign it is replaced by [[Invincibility]]. The overshield makes an appearance in the ''Halo 3: ODST'' and ''Halo: Reach'' campaigns as a shielding effect awarded to those within the vicinity of an Engineer; friendly Covenant and UNSC units are provided an additional layer of protection because of the overshield ability.

The overshield is found in ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'' as a reusable armour ability. When used it is active for five seconds and requires a five second cooldown period. Overshield is one of the three armor abilities which are not available by default, but instead can be purchased before starting each level to provide the player with an added advantage. A single-level use of the overshield costs 400 XP or 10 [[Credit|cR]].

''Halo 5: Guardians''features the overshield in both campaign and multiplayer. The effects of the overshield are automatically applied in campaign when a Spartan is revived by or revives another Spartan. In multiplayer, the power-up appears in the form of a small piece of circular equipment that emits a hologram of a green cross when on the ground. Unlike in previous titles, it does not immediately activate when touched by a player; instead, it must be manually picked up when walking over it. Doing this will play a short animation during which the player can still take damage. Like other power-ups, it can be acquired at a requisition station in Warzone, but does not appear naturally in that game mode.
