Shields gain a | Shields gain a new appearance that varies between the enemy races: [[Fallen]] are unchanged, [[Hive]] gain more oblong and refined shields, [[Cabal]] shields are spherical with glowing angular patterns, [[Vex]] shields are cylindrical grids similar to the [[Hydra]]'s, and [[Taken]] shields are blackened and "corrupted". Deactivating a shield with a weapon of its corresponding elemental type now triggers an area-of-effect explosion that damages nearby enemies. <ref name ="Destiny 2">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> Also, during Nightfall strikes and certain other difficult activities, the presence of elemental shields has switched between certain enemy types. For example, [[Psion]]s no longer have Void shields during the Nightfall strike, but [[Colossus|Colossi]] have Arc shields now. | ||

Nightmare Breaker mods, obtained from the gamemode, are required to effectively penetrate these shields. | |||
