An Anti-Vehicle Barrier is a wall of plasma energy used to stop vehicles and weapons. The Covenant barrier can be easily penetrated by other objects, including enemy infantry.

[edit] Background

The barrier functions similarly to a large shield door, and bears a resemblance to the Deployable Cover equipment. It was first seen in use on Harvest^[1], and it was later used on the Tsavo Highway to prevent UNSC forces from reaching Voi.

[edit] Trivia

• It is only effective in halting vehicles and projectiles; a soldier on foot can traverse it harmlessly.
• It can be taken down by explosions near the shield generator on the side opposite the generator.
• In Halo 3, the shield barrier can sometimes be destroyed from the outside.
