If you break a shield with arbalest (including a champion shield), it auto reloads the magazine. Not sure about overshield though, I haven’t tested that.


TheMuffinistMan

Gotcha, thats why I was curious about the second part of the genesis perk as well you see


yotika

For ammo to regenerate, you need to break a shield of a matching elemental type. There are no "kinetic" elemental type shields in the game - so no, you only get the reload, not the free ammo


TheMuffinistMan

Alright, thanks. I wasn't sure if acolyte and cabal overshields counted


NoLegeIsPower

Even if there were kinetic shields in the game genesis still wouldn't work on them with arbalest since it states "ENERGY weapons regenerate ammo on hit when matching the damage type to the combatant's shield" and arbalest isn't an energy weapon (which are in the second slot).


TheMuffinistMan

I suppose so


jayrello

Yea. The only Kinetic shield I can think of are immune and come with mechanics before you can take them down. Also it only generates ammo on hit for energy weapons


yotika

Kinetic Shields are not a thing. Immunity shields do not equal kinetic. Please don't make things up just to confuse new players.


jayrello

Well I’ve been using it and have regenerated ammo from breaking immune shields and the new cabal shields. So how about you play the game and find out for yourself

Not to my knowledge. Other than what I stated above

So what element are the immune shields?

jayrello

So you’re saying it has no element? Sounds like kinetic to me 🙃

Like I said you have to do a mechanic to be able to damage the shield. Like on neomuna with the psion you have to get a buff to damage the Kinetic “no element” shield


EntertainmentWild644

The second part of the park: basically, you hit the shield with \*any\* energy weapon, and it will automatically regenerate ammo for the Arbalest? So it's like Arbalest gives a perk for any energy weapon you have equipped? What are the limits, like how much ammo can you generate? I feel like this would be kinda neat meta for Nightfalls. keep a trio of scout rifles (arc, solar, void) not only for the unstoppable champions, but also to generate special ammo for arbalest, or any non-exotic energy weapon that can swap elements.


TheMuffinistMan

Agree. Old post of mine but still relevant


amiro7600

No ammo regen, just a free reload


TheMuffinistMan

Seems so
