This includes vehicle-mounted weapons.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgSY3Sj9wCY '''Halo 4 Mythbusters''' - ''Episode 3'']</ref> While in use, the player is awarded a visual effect which gives off a red full-body glowing effect and leaves a trail as the player moves.<ref name="Bulletin 1"/> This effect also appears on the player's HUD.
