Few Covenant ground and air vehicles are equipped with energy shields. The most notable exception is the | Few Covenant ground and air vehicles are equipped with energy shields. The most notable exception is the {{Pattern|Shua'ee|Locust}}, a repurposed mining platform that is used as a "building killer". The Type-30 Locust emits a spherical shield that can resist most high-impact projectiles. However, this shield is rather weak and will dissipate under concentrated fire, exposing the Type-30 Locust's vulnerable hull. [[Type-32 Ghost|Type-32 "Ghost" assault vehicles]] and [[Type-26 Wraith|Type-26 "Wraith" tanks]], while almost universally unshielded, can be retrofitted with energy shields that deflect most projectiles. The [[Type-54 Banshee]], the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-Covenant War]] successor to the [[Type-26 Banshee]], features numerous improvements, one of which is the implementation of energy shielding.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> | ||
