Once shield is popped, how many secs does it take to regenerate?
Seems to vary for me but I’m sure I’m still getting hit up in the process 
Just test & count it yourself?

Not sure if it depends on damage or is it just the game. My regeneration rate also varies.

I do wonder though if certain weapons affect the shield recharge rate. I always feel like plasma weapons make the regeneration wait time slow down and kinetic doesn’t affect it at all.

No. There are 3 types of damage: Kinetic, Plasma, and Electic. Kinetic does more damage to players without shields and to vehicles. Plasma only does more damage to shields, where spartan or vehicles. Electric is the only one that can EMP vehicles, but the Disruptor is the only weapon that can make your shield start recharing later if you hit 6 shots.

Aren’t there 4 actually? The three you listed and then Hardlight? I think the Sentinel Beam, Heatwave, and Cindershot are the only ones that use it though.
actually yeah thats true, but I dont think lazer weapons do anything. I think they did more damage to vehicles once but that changed some point later.
Lazar guns (a.k.a hardlight) are a mix of both and do moderate damage to both making them amazing.

I think they do increased damage to vehicles. Or at the very least they don’t explode after going terminal (they don’t do the red cycle, instead blow up/disintegrate immediately).
