However, it does not increase the player's rate of fire, and the speed increase does not transfer to vehicles the player is driving. While in use, the player is awarded a visual effect which gives off a blue full-body glowing effect and leaves trails as the player moves.{{Ref/Reuse|Bulletin 1}} This effect also appears on the player's HUD, and actually increases the player's ability to see in dark conditions.
