'''Invincibility''' is an [[Equipment|equipment]] featured in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. It gives the user a brief period of Invulnerability lasting for about 10 seconds. In order to obtain it, the player is required to kill a [[Brute Chieftain]] without having it activated, and in some rare cases, it can be found just lying around in certain levels. Like the [[Gravity Hammer]] is to the [[Fist of Rukt]], this equipment originates from [[Tartarus]]'s [[Modified Invincibility]].

==Operation==
When activated, the player is covered in shining white bands. It is known to be possessed by all [[Brute Chieftains]] that wield a [[Gravity Hammer]] unhindered, but not the [[War Chieftain|Brute War Chieftains]]. Shooting them when it is activated is simply useless, as you cannot harm them in any way. In [[Campaign]], it can be found on some dead Brute Chieftains that haven't 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.

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 [[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 from behind.

== Disadvantages ==
*Players, or [[AI]]s who have activated the Invincible equipment can still be killed by being assassinated, crushed by large objects, or falling from a great height. Also, the Invincibility can be drained by Infection Forms.
*It only lasts for about 10 seconds, so it should only be used as a last resort, or when entering a particularly difficult part of a level, but not the first chance you get.
*When the equipment is deployed, it makes the player glow a gold/white/purple color, much like an [[Overshield]], therefore making you more visible when used and might attract unwanted attention towards you. 
*It is still visible even with the aid of cloaking or [[Active Camouflage]].

== Trivia ==
*The easiest way to get one, is to kill a Brute Chieftain in one shot or from far away using a [[Sniper Rifle]], which obviously doesn't give him the chance to use it. Notable ways include the [[Spartan Laser]] and [[Rocket Launcher]], and on easier difficulties, a [[Beam Rifle]] or Sniper Rifle head shot. Grenades hardly ever make a one hit on them, with the exception of the [[Incendiary grenade]].
*The Invincibility has an analogous effect to Tartarus's shields, which he uses in the last level of [[Halo 2|''Halo 2'']].
*The Invincibility symbol resembles a Helium atom. This may be because the power that is exerted by this equipment can be compared to that of an atom, (or sub-atomic and elementary particle) when disintegrated, 'split' or charged. 
*If you make the Arbiter an enemy by killing him/allies, and use the Invincibility, he can still kill you with one plasma bolt.
*In ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', Invincibility makes Chieftains glow an aquamarine color, instead of the original white.
*Also in ''Halo 3: ODST'', Chieftains tend to activate their invincibility the moment any heavy weapon hits them, thus negating or toning down its effect.
*You cannot acquire this power up online.
