Shields gain a unique appearance for each of 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. | Shields gain a unique appearance for each of 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".

With the release of ''[[Season of the Deep]]'', absorption shields | With the release of ''[[Season of the Deep]]'', absorption shields became the same across all races, but look different depending on the element needed to match it. [[Void]] shields are identified by ripples and spirals, [[Solar]] shields are identified by flames, [[Arc]] shields are identified by electricity, and [[Strand]] shields are identified by vertical lines. Immunity shields retain their faction's original designs. | ||

In addition to this list, [[Nightmare Hunt]]s will also frequently spawn large groups of enemies (typically the lowest classes associated with the Nightmare's original race) with Solar shields that are unusually resistant to even matching elemental damage. Nightmare Breaker mods, obtained from the gamemode, are required to effectively penetrate these shields. | In addition to this list, [[Nightmare Hunt]]s will also frequently spawn large groups of enemies (typically the lowest classes associated with the Nightmare's original race) with Solar shields that are unusually resistant to even matching elemental damage.
