Again sorry, search engine in forums aint so good sometimes.

I always wondered but I forgot until now, what exactly is the "idea" behind shields That only allow slow moving objects, and biotic barriers that creating a ( covenant type of shield over ye), and kinetic barriers that dont let anything pass? (wall of.....what? energy)

What is the difference between them I keep reading the codex but maybe is just weird, but their base sounds all the same to me.

From what I understand, they're the same thing, but with different sources. Standard shields ('kinetic barriers') use an energy source to project an energy field that reduces kinetic energy. These require a power source and projectors of some sort, so they're essentially a Tech version.



Barriers, on the other hand, are basically just a solid Mass Effect field. They don't have a Tech source. The field is the same thing as a Pull or Warp or Singularity; the Mass Effect field is simply manipulated into a solid wall of energy.

OH, finally thank you. always asked, myself why doesn't disruptor damage biotic barriers.


One more thing, so that means the Kinetic barriers that you see the geth pop up, or be used as obstacles, and the BIG dome shape barrier seen in the Hammerhead last mission is just a bigger version of tech shields?

'Shields' are actually Kinetic Barriers; everyone just calls them shields. As for the barrier in the Hammerhead mission, that is a Kinetic Barrier. It had 4 different power sources, and there were no Geth around keeping the Shield up, so it's a Tech-based Kinetic Barrier.

Thank you again, much appreciated
