Tempest Shield

 was an ability available to the Heavy Assault. It was unlocked upon completion of the More Than Scrap Metal mission in chapter 2 of the Shattered Warpgate campaign.

When activated, the Tempest Shield generated a barrier of tempest energy around the player, preventing them from receiving damage from Elysium Crystals, a hazardous resource players were tasked with gathering during the events of chapter 2 of the Shattered Warpgate campaign.

Outside of protecting the player from this hazard, the Tempest Shield did not provide any other functionality.

Tempest Shield lasted up to 90 seconds, however did not regenerate naturally and required the player to resupply at a infantry terminal in order to recharge the ability.
