In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'', the overshield boosts the player's shields to 300%. This was reduced to 200% in ''Halo 3''. In ''Halo: Reach''<nowiki />'s [[Anniversary Map Pack]], the shields are once again boosted to 300%; however players now spout a trail of flames, further revealing their position. The trail also forms if the player enters a vehicle. ''Halo 4'' removed the flames and once again boosts the shields only 200%. The overshield in ''Halo 5: Guardians''also has the same power.

In campaign mode, the overshield is reduced only when the player takes damage.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'''</ref> In multiplayer, the overshield is not only subjected to the same rule in campaign mode but also gradually depletes over time. Due to its reductive nature, the overshield is only useful for a short period in multiplayer; the overshield slowly loses its strength over prolonged duration. Like the standard energy shield, the overshield can be fully depleted by an overcharged [[Plasma Pistol]].
