A refractor field generator is a small device which projects a protective energy field around the user. Its effect is to disperse the energy of an incoming shot or blow over the total area of the field. The field, although less reliable than that of a rosarius, can stop even the powerful projectiles such as lascannon and plasma hits.

Refractor fields are uncommon, and within the Imperial Guard, are used only by officers and enginseers.

The White Scars are also known to use them, with the Souldrinkers (a unique close-combat unit) being equipped with them.^{[Needs Citation]}

A much more rare variation of this technology is the Reductor Field, which, rather than try to stop projectiles, tries to cushion their impact to a point where they are of no danger to the wearer. Commissar Yarrick is known to wear one.
