| The '''spoofer''' is a small device used by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces to force open [[door]]s and override certain pieces of equipment by sending in an electrical current that stabilizes the device that may be locked, damaged, or otherwise unable to function.<ref name="tf">'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 173''</ref>

| ==Description==
| | The '''spoofer''' is used by the [[UNSC]] forces to force open doors and override certain pieces of equipment that may be locked, damaged, or otherwise unable to function. |
| They are standard equipment to [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[fireteam]]s when deployed into ground engagements. They appear to be very advanced, as they are capable of even overriding the [[Forerunner]] locks on doors in Installation 04.{{Ref/Reuse|tf}}

| In [[2552]], [[Private]] [[Kappus]] used one to open the door to the [[Flood containment facility]] on Installation 04. He was ordered by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] to open the door that happened to be the only thing holding back the [[Flood]]. Unwillingly and unknowingly, Kappus unleashed the Flood on [[Installation 04]], dooming him and the rest of his squad,<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]''</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|tf}} with the exception of [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sgt. Johnson]] and the "[[paranoid Marine]]". When the Master Chief later arrives, he opens the same door by pushing a button on the spoofer.
| | They are standard equipment to [[Marine]] fire teams when deployed into ground engagements. One was used to open the door in the [[Flood Containment Facilities|containment facility]] where the [[Flood]] were released from.<ref>[[Halo: Combat Evolved]],[[343 Guilty Spark (level)]]</ref> |

| ==Trivia==
| | In [[2552]], [[Private Kappus]] used one to open the door to the [[Flood Containment Facilities]]. He was ordered by [[Captain Keyes]] to open the door that happened to be the only thing holding back the Flood. Unwillingly and unknowingly, Kappus unleashed the [[Flood]] on [[Installation 04]], dooming him and the rest of his squad,<ref>[[Halo: Combat Evolved]],[[343 Guilty Spark (level)]]</ref> save for Johnson. When an [[Infection Form]] attached itself to Kappus' friend Riley, he got it off successfully. Kappus was soon transformed into a [[Combat Form]], though. |
| *The spoofer is referred to as the "lockpick" in the game files of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
| |
| *In the action horror film ''[[Wikipedia:Aliens (film)|Aliens]]'' and the video game ''[[Wikipedia:Aliens versus Predator 2|Aliens vs. Predator 2]]'', one of the marines uses a device similar or identical to the spoofer. In fact, considering how most of the game is based of the aspects of the movie, it could have been inspired by the device in the movie.
