1) Shields only recharge when you land a fatal blow on a character (or destroyable object) with a melee attack. This effect can extend your shields to max overshields..
2) It also turns off snow (weather effect) on Quarantine Zone.
Test 1: start any level, take damage and notice the shields do not recharge. Then melee a friend or foe to death and observe that the shields recharge. In addition, start Metropolis, destroy the bus in front of the warthog with melee, and notice that it recharges shields.
Test 2: start QZ, notice snow falling (even in the cut scene). Activate the Black Eye Skull. Start QZ and notice that the snow disappeared (even in the cut scene).
Going into the dashboard does not seem to bring the snow back, but powering off the XBOX seems to.
Thanks G. Please post a test for your theory about the ghost skull.
