Overshield

Line 35:

*In ''Halo 3'', you can pick up the overshield (or [[active camouflage]]) as equipment if you have a piece of equipment and hold your equipment change button (default RB) and barely touch the overshield. Then if you die you drop the overshield, or if you pick up another piece of equipment you will drop/pickup the overshield, allowing you to surprise your enemies. This only works on matchmaking.

*The overshield was most likely inspired by a similar device found in the ''Marathon'' series. Using this device in the ''Marathon Series'' causes up to two additional layers of heath to be added (yellow/purple).

*Interestingly, the overshield in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' can be stacked. Although there appears to be no visual difference, additional overshields do in fact increase the strength of the additional shields. In-depth information can be found in this [https://youtu.be/yvRLaxE3Qg8?t=4m43s video.]
