The Quantum Translocator is a small box-like device developed by the [[United Nations Space Command]] with the use of [[Forerunner]] technology. Upon initial activation of the Quantum Translocator, a [[slipspace portal]] is placed. When the user activates the device a second time, another portal is placed where the user stands and they are instantaneously [[Slipspace translocation|translocated]] through the portal, returning to the site of the previous activation. This process can be repeated a number of times, with each activation returning the user to the site of the previous activation.{{Ref/Reuse|HCSTwitch}}{{Ref/Reuse|S4Sandbox}}{{Ref/Game|Id=HINF|HINF|Quantum Translocator | The Quantum Translocator is a small box-like device developed by the [[United Nations Space Command]] with the use of [[Forerunner]] technology.

The Translocator was developed by the UNSC thanks to research and reverse-engineering efforts on [[Slipspace translocation|translocation]] systems employed throughout [[Forerunner]] installations, and those used by modified [[Promethean]] constructs under [[Created]] control.{{Ref/Reuse|Twitter}} While prior efforts with the [[MX-1050 Quantum Plane Translocation Marker-Local/Hybrid]] resulted in a device capable of translocating inorganic [[slipspace crate]]s over small distances, the ability to transport living organisms remained out of reach for some time.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFShocks|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-system-shocks|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - System Shocks|D=30|M=06|Y=2023}} | The Translocator was developed by the UNSC thanks to research and reverse-engineering efforts on [[Slipspace translocation|translocation]] systems employed throughout [[Forerunner]] installations, and those used by modified [[Promethean]] constructs under [[Created]] control.{{Ref/Reuse|Twitter}} While prior efforts with the [[MX-1050 Quantum Plane Translocation Marker-Local/Hybrid]] resulted in a device capable of translocating inorganic [[slipspace crate]]s over small distances, the ability to transport living organisms remained out of reach for some time.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFShocks|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-system-shocks|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - System Shocks|D=30|M=06|Y=2023}} [[Created uprising|Recent events]] have given the UNSC reason to accelerate their research and development on such prototypes, though they are still a long way from become standard-issue.{{Ref/Twitter|Id=Twitter|Halo|1672273327774113792|Halo|Quote=TECH DATABASE - QUANTUM TRANSLOCATOR<br>The Quantum Translocator is the result of accelerated and ambitious research into Forerunner slipspace translocation technology. #FictionFriday|D=24|M=06|Y=2023}} Development on the prototypes has been slowed due to lack of [[artificial intelligence]] research assistance, due to the threats posed by the Created.{{Ref/Reuse|CFShocks}} | ||

The Quantum Translocator is a piece of [[Power-up|power]] [[equipment]] in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' released in [[Season 04: Infection]]. When the player activates the equipment the first time, a portal is placed at their current location and a "thread" of energy follows them as they move about the map.{{Ref/Reuse|S4Sandbox}} To signify to the player that they have placed a portal, a glowing energy effect can be seen around the edges of the player's screen. When the player activates the equipment the second time, another portal is created at their location and they are instantly teleported back to the location of the previous portal, allowing them to escape an unfavorable situation. To clue in enemies on where the player went, a "thread" of energy trails back to the location of the portal.{{Ref/Reuse|HCSTwitch}}{{Ref/Reuse|S4Sandbox}} This process can be repeated several times, with each activation of the Quantum Translocator sending the player back to the location of the previous activation. However, there is a cooldown timer between each activation to prevent players from spamming the ability. Unlike the other power-ups in the game, [[Overshield]] and [[Active Camouflage]], the Quantum Translocator can be used more than once per pick-up. Instead, after the first activation of the Quantum Translocator, players may only use the device for a given time limit.{{Ref/Reuse|S4Sandbox}}{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}} | The Quantum Translocator is a piece of [[Power-up|power]] [[equipment]] in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' released in [[Season 04: Infection]].
