'''Invincibility''' is an [[equipment]] item used by [[Covenant]] [[Jiralhanae]] forces. It provides a temporary boost to the user's energy shield system, giving the user a brief period of invulnerability lasting for about 10 seconds. It is used almost exclusively by Jiralhanae Chieftains.

==Operation==
==Description==
When activated, the player is covered in shining white bands. It is possessed by all Brute Chieftains that wield [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammers]] unhindered, but not the [[War Chieftain|Brute War Chieftains]]. Shooting them when it is activated is simply useless, as you cannot harm them except by performing an assassination, which, done correctly, will kill them Invincibility or not. In [[Campaign]], it can be found on some dead Brute Chieftains that have not used the power-up, but this is a rare occurrence, as they will usually activate it the instant they are attacked. In addition to being obtainable from dead Brute Chieftains, there is an Invincibility in the level "[[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]" on [[Easy]], [[Normal]], and [[Heroic]] difficulties. After going up the staircase, face the middle of the door, then turn around the other way and walk into the tunnel. This makes the battle with [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] much easier, since you cannot get hit by the powerful beam.
Invincibility generators are used almost exclusively by Jiralhanae Chieftains, specifically ones that wield [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammers]]. When their energy shields are depleted or they are surrounded by a large number of enemies, Chieftains will typically activate their invincibility and execute a berserk charge at the nearest enemy. In this state, their shields are augmented and will deflect any damage from firearms or explosives.  


It has a similar appearance to the Cloaking equipment, except that it glows a gold color, rather than a cool blue color. Its symbol on the [[Heads Up Display|HUD]] is two overlapping, intersecting ovals with a dot at the center.

It is not present in [[multiplayer]], unless you edit game-play options where you can make players invincible. However, do note that the [[Guardians]] can still kill you; apart from them your only real danger is from being assassinated.
