Overshield

Line 5:

The Overshield technology is developed by the Covenant to enhance their [[Sangheili]] warriors' [[Sangheili Personal Energy Shield|personal shielding system]]. The Overshield can be used by anyone utilizing a personal shielding system such as a [[SPARTAN]] in a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]] or [[Sangheili]] with a [[combat harness]].

In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]'', the overshield boosts the player's shields to 300%. This was reduced in ''[[Halo 3]]''; the overshield only boost a player's shields to 200%. It takes approximately three seconds to overcharge the energy shields once picked up. During this short period, the player is invincible. The player's normal shield does not take damage until the overshield is completely depleted (although any damage overlapping from something destroying the overshield (i.e. a grenade's explosion) will also do damage to the player's normal shield).
