'''Invincibility''' is an [[Equipment|equipment]] featured in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[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 have not 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.

== Disadvantages ==
*Players or [[AI]]s who have activated the Invincibility equipment can still be killed by assassination, get smashed by falling objects, getting splattered, or fall to their death from a great height.
*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.
*It is still visible even with the aid of cloaking or [[Active Camouflage]].



== Trivia ==
*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 injuring him/killing 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.
*Invincibility can be drained by Infection Forms, however you still cannot be killed.{{Verify}}
*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 in ''Halo 3: ODST'' or outside of ''Halo 3's'' Campaign.
*Brute Chieftains who have activated their invincibility can still be assassinated.

-'''Invincibility''' modules are a defensive [[equipment]] piece developed by the [[Covenant]] for use by infantry forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}
-==Overview==
+'''Invincibility''' is an [[Equipment|equipment]] featured in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[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]].
-===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===
+==Operation==
-Invincibility modules were developed by the [[Covenant]], and prominently-used by [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s during the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}
+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-game information==
+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.
-===''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.
+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.
-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]]s who have activated the Invincibility equipment can still be killed by assassination, get smashed by falling objects, getting splattered, or fall to their death from a great height.
+*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.
+*It is still visible even with the aid of cloaking or [[Active Camouflage]].
-==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}}
