I’m wondering how the Hardlight Shield will act when hit by vehicles. I have not seen any gameplay on this and since the Hardlight Shield is the spiritual successor of Armor Lock, will it destroy vehicles? Stop them? Will it just collapse? Will the user take damage?
Has anyone seen anything on this or have any thoughts?
I think you will be splattered.
In the description of the Hardlight Shield AA, it says that it is a personal defensive barrier against small arms weapons. Which most likely means it will be almost useless against rockets, grenades, and vehicles

probably…
Hardlight shield only works for bullets and maybe head-on explosions. Vehicles go through it though.
I saw two videos, one the Ghost glanced at the shield and flew over I think and another or the ghost splattered the guy. I don’t know If he turned it off or what but it’s puzzling.
I think it’ll just kinda shunt them away :o
I think it should protect against vehicles. Or at least cause you to bounce off them when they try to hit you. Can lead to funny moments like getting hit and bounced off a cliff. Or making a bridge out of shields to carry a tank!
Yeah, there’s a either an E3, RTX or SDCC gameplay video of a Ghost splattering a guy with a HLS out.
It doesnt help you against vehicles you get splattered.

Well in that clip, the Ghost wouldn’t have actually hit the guy anyway (if his shield weren’t there). It passes over the top of his head.

Challenge accepted. Game glitch destroys the vehicle “What the”
Hardlight shield vs vehicle= you dead son.

Judging by that video it seems you’re right, not the most obvious splat but close enough. It seems like a smart choice imo, the ablity to “splat” vehicles using a mobile shield seems to, not to mention how “random” armor lock prevents splats/or not in Reach depending on host.

I actually saw a photo of a guy getting shot by a rocket with hardlight activated, i wonder if that means anything.
If it blocked vehicles then it would be armor lock, i wouldn’t mind it blocking explosions though.

Squashed
I’ll kinda miss those epic moments where you just stand in front of a ghost charging at you letting the guy think that he’s about to turn you into a pancake until the last second when you use AL.
You’ll be splattered, as confirmed from the gameplay we’ve seen.
