'''Invincibility''' modules are a defensive [[equipment]] piece developed by the [[Covenant]] for use by infantry forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}


==Overview==
'''Invincibility''' is a new piece of [[equipment]] featured only in [[Halo 3]].
===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}}
It confers the user with a brief period of invulnerability. This period lasts about 10 seconds. When activated the player is covered in shining white bands. It is known to be possessed by most [[Brute Chieftains]] that wield a [[Gravity Hammer]] unhindered, giving them a significant tactical advantage, as you cannot harm them. In [[campaign]], it can be found on some dead Brute Chieftains that haven't used the power-up, but this is a rare occurence as they will usually activate it the second they are attacked. Curiously, if you [[melee]] a Brute in the back (assassination hit) while the invincibility is active, it will still kill him as if it wasn't active. In addition to being obtainable from dead Brute Chieftains, there is an Invincibility in the level "[[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]". At the top of the [[Control Room]] tower, where you have to fight hordes of [[Flood]], there is an Invincibility. After going up the staircase, go to the left and into the tunnel. It will be there. Note: This is only found on difficulties [[Easy]], [[Normal]] and [[Heroic]]. It cannot be found there on [[Legendary]].
 
It has a similar appearance to the Cloaking equipment, except that it glows a gold color, rather than a cool blue color. It's symbol on the [[HUD]] is Two overlapping, intersecting ovals.


===Usage===
It is not present in [[Multiplayer]], unless you edit gameplay options where you can make players invincible. '''Note''': The [[Guardians]] can still kill you, as well as other players who assassinate you.
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==
In campaign, though you will be invulnerable from almost all forms of attack, you may still die from falling or having a large object such as a [[Scorpion]] crush you, or by having tons of [[Infection forms]] infect you. Invulnerable characters like the Arbiter who become betrayed by you after you kill them can also kill you easily.  
===''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.
== Trivia ==
*A player is able to take a Brute Chieftain's Invincibility if they assassinate, head shot, or in some way kill the Chieftain before he has a chance to activate and use it.
*Despite being invincible, a player can assassinate a Brute Chieftain or another player successfully.  
*The Invincibility has an analogous effect to [[Tartarus]]'s shields.
*most useful when used for running at large groups of enemies head on blowing them to pieces as you go as they are unable to harm you without assasination somthing that is imposible if you're running right at them


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.
== Disadvantages ==
*Players or AI who have activated the Invincible power-up can still be killed by being assassinated, crushed by large objects, or falling from a large height.
*It only lasts for a short period of time(around 10 seconds), so it should only be used as a last resort, not the first chance you get.
* When the equipment is deployed,it makes the player glow a gold/white color therefore making you more visible when used and so might attract unwanted attention towards you.


==Trivia==
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}}
