'''Promethean vision''' {{ZClass|5080|Short-Range Spectrum Augmenter/Vision|SRSA/V}} is a [[Forerunner]] short-range, full-spectrum vision enhancement system.{{Ref/Site|Id=Gameplay|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!halo-evolved/gameplay/31afe32b-0e07-45c0-9424-3adc6e1eadca|Site=Halo 4 Official Site|Page=Gameplay|D=26|M=06|Y=2012|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Abilities}}{{Ref/Book|Id=H4EVG|H4EVG|Page=138}} | |||
==Overview== | |||
===Design details=== | |||
The Promethean Vision module itself resembles other [[Armor abilities|similar equipment]] of Forerunner origin. When used, it enables the user to detect shapes and movement through solid barriers, and can be leveraged in [[human]]-developed [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] in conjunction with [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance]] Version 4.0.{{Ref/Reuse|Gameplay}} | |||
Its effectiveness is somewhat limited by its difficulty and inability to perceive the use of [[active camouflage]] systems and the [[Type-27 hologram|hologram decoys]], respectively, alongside the noise it produces when it is in use.{{Ref/Mag|Id=GI2012|Magazine=Game Informer|Issue=230|Year=2012|Month=May}} | |||
===Usage=== | |||
Promethean vision was originally developed for use by the [[Promethean]] soldiers of the Forerunner [[rate]] of [[Warrior-Servant]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Gameplay}} Even post-[[Composer|composition]], [[Knight Commander]]s continued to make use of Promethean Vision modules.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/dedc796b-6b9c-4414-95cc-81435511df25/knight-commander-|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Enemies: Knight Commander|D=30|M=04|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Promethean}} | |||
In the modern day, Promethean vision modules were acquired for use by [[John-117]] with his [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mark VI MOD]] armour during the [[Battle of Requiem]] in [[2557#July|July 2557]].{{Ref/Game|H4|Promethean Vision in-game [[armor ability]]}} They were later used by [[Spartan Operations]]s personnel during the [[Requiem Campaign]] the [[2558#February|following February]], with their usage contributing to a number of UNSC victories in the [[Requiem]] theatre.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} A functionally similar mimic of the Promethean vision module known as the "Viper Shroud" has been developed by the [[Watershed Division]] for [[United Nations Space Command]] usage. The module was designed for use on the [[STREET VIPER-class Mjolnir|STREET VIPER]] helmet. The Viper Shroud consists of a multi-target acquisition and cueing system.{{Ref/Game|Id=HelmetAttachDescription|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=Viper Shroud - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=Multi-target acquisition and cueing system, with locked functionality that mimics capabilities of the Z-5080 SRSA/V module.}} | |||
[[ | |||
Another UNSC attempt to replicate the functions of the Promethean vision module is the [[FCI attachments#FCI-X/ANPAO|FCI-X/ANPAO attachment]] for the [[VIPER-class Mjolnir|Viper]] helmet, which enables the wearer to detect and target [[Flood]] biomass.{{Ref/Game|Id=AnpaoDescription|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=FCI-X/ANPAO - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=The ANPAO adapts reverse-engineered functions of Z-5080 SRSA/V "Promethean Vision" module for the detection and targeting of Flood biomass.}} | |||

The behavior of Promethean vision differs between game modes. In War Games, Promethean vision has far greater difficulty detecting enemies using active camouflage. A player utilizing active camo will not glow orange, but rather appear blue in the manner a player appears if they are utilizing the Stealth [[Support upgrades|Support Upgrade]]. Promethean vision will also not differentiate between a player and a hologram, making it difficult to tell them apart. Interestingly, if a player utilizes both the Stealth upgrade and hologram ability, their hologram will still display bright orange while the player is blue, allowing alert players to differentiate between the two. | |||
In [[campaign]] and [[Spartan Ops]] however Promethean vision has no difficulty detecting active camouflage. Targets still glow bright orange, even when using active camo. This makes Promethean vision incredibly useful for detecting [[Covenant | In [[campaign]] and [[Spartan Ops]], however, Promethean vision has no difficulty detecting active camouflage. Targets still glow bright orange, even when using active camo. This makes Promethean vision incredibly useful for detecting [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] units utilizing stealth technology. | ||
