| '''Invincibility''' modules are a defensive [[equipment]] piece developed by the [[Covenant]] for use by infantry forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}
| |
|
| |
| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Design details===
| |
| Invincibility generators consist of a small, handheld generator interspersed with golden lights, similar in form to the [[cloaking]] module. When activated, they provide an extremely strong [[energy shielding]] layer to the wielder, which makes them near-invulnerable to damage for a period of around ten seconds. The [[United Nations Space Command]] have been able to determine that the source of the protection offered by the module stems from a latent energy field, though to-date have had little success in reverse-engineering it.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}
| |
|
| |
| ===Usage===
| |
| Invincibility modules were developed by the [[Covenant]], and prominently-used by [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s during the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}
| |
|
| |
| ==In-game information==
| |
| ===''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST''===
| |
| Invincibility appears as a piece of deployable [[equipment]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. In both games, the equipment can near-exclusively be found in the hands of [[Akelus Workshop gravity hammer|gravity hammer]]-wielding [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s. When engaging the Chieftains, should they take too much damage they will activate the equipment and become temporarily invulnerable to nearly-all forms of damage. In ''Halo 3'', if they can be killed quickly, they will drop the module and leave it open for a player to pick up; this function is removed in ''ODST'' alongside all player equipment use. The behaviour exhibited by Chieftains in ''ODST'' tends to make them overly defensive with their equipment, and they will activate it as soon as they are attacked by a heavy weapon.
| |
|
| |
| Although invulnerable to most forms of damage, Brutes with invincibility activated can still be [[Assassination|assassinated]] or [[splatter]]ed. If the player in ''Halo 3'' has invincibility and makes an NPC [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] an enemy, he will still be able to kill the player in one hit.
| |
|
| |
|
| In ''Halo 3: ODST'', Invincibility makes Chieftains glow an aquamarine color, instead of the original white. This is because Brute's armor glows white when shot in ''Halo 3: ODST'', so Bungie changed the color, so players could clearly see when a Chieftain activated invincibility.
| | '''Invincibility''' is a piece of equipment featured in ''[[Halo 3]]''. |
|
| |
|
| ==Trivia==
| | It confers the user with a brief period of invulnerability. When activated the player is covered in shining bands. It is known to be possessed by some or all [[Brute Chieftains]] in ''Halo 3'', giving chieftains a brief period of time where they may chase after the player with the [[Gravity Hammer]] unhindered, giving them a significant tactical advantage. In campaign, it can be found on some dead Brute chieftains that haven't used a powerup yet. |
| The image used for the Invincibility's activated state in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' and its [[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)|2011 reprint]] is in fact a screenshot of an [[Cut Halo 3 weapons#Bubble shield|early revision]] of the [[Z-4190 bubble shield]] from the ''[[Halo 3 Beta]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}
