| ===Design details===
| | Developed for use by the [[Promethean]]s, an elite class of Forerunner [[Warrior-Servant]]s, Promethean vision allows the user to detect shapes and movement through solid barriers. It has been adapted for use with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)]] in conjunction with Version 4.0 of the [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance]]. It can also function with [[John-117]]'s uniquely upgraded [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI MJOLNIR suit]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omxyh9Ti9Yw& '''YouTube''': ''NEW! E3 2012 Game Spot Halo 4 Interview: Campaign, Spartan Ops, and War Games! *HD*'']</ref> Its effectiveness is somewhat limited by its difficulty and inability to perceive the use of [[active camouflage]] and the [[Type-27 Responsive Holographic Form Emulator]], respectively, as well as the noise it produces when it is in use.<ref>'''Game Informer''', ''May 2012''</ref> |
| The Promethean Vision module itself resembles other [[Armor abilities|similar equipment]] of Forerunner origin. When used, it enables the user to detect shapes and movement through solid barriers, and can be leveraged in [[human]]-developed [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] in conjunction with [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance]] Version 4.0.{{Ref/Reuse|Gameplay}}

| Its effectiveness is somewhat limited by its difficulty and inability to perceive the use of [[active camouflage]] systems and the [[Type-27 hologram|hologram decoys]], respectively, alongside the noise it produces when it is in use.{{Ref/Mag|Id=GI2012|Magazine=Game Informer|Issue=230|Year=2012|Month=May}}
| | ==Gameplay== |
| | The behaviour of Promethean vision differs between game modes. In War Games Promethean vision has far greater difficulty detecting enemies using active camouflage. A player utilizing active camo will not glow orange, but rather appear blue in the manner a player appears if they are utilizing the Stealth [[Support upgrades|Support Upgrade]]. Promethean vision will also not differentiate between between players and their holograms, potentially making it difficult to tell them apart. Interestingly, if a player utilizes both the Stealth upgrade and hologram ability, their hologram will still display bright orange while the player is blue, allowing alert players to differentiate between the two. |
|
| |
|
| ===Usage===
| | In [[campaign]] and [[Spartan Ops]] however Promethean vision has no difficulty detecting active camouflage. Targets still glow bright orange, even when using active camo. This makes Promethean vision incredibly useful for detecting [[Covenant remnant|Covenant]] units utilizing stealth technology. |
| Promethean vision was originally developed for use by the [[Promethean]] soldiers of the Forerunner [[rate]] of [[Warrior-Servant]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Gameplay}} Even post-[[Composer|composition]], [[Knight Commander]]s continued to make use of Promethean Vision modules.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/dedc796b-6b9c-4414-95cc-81435511df25/knight-commander-|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Enemies: Knight Commander|D=30|M=04|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Promethean}}

| In the modern day, Promethean vision modules were acquired for use by [[John-117]] with his [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mark VI MOD]] armour during the [[Battle of Requiem]] in [[2557#July|July 2557]].{{Ref/Game|H4|Promethean Vision in-game [[armor ability]]}} They were later used by [[Spartan Operations]] personnel during the [[Requiem Campaign]] the [[2558#February|following February]], with their usage contributing to a number of UNSC victories in the [[Requiem]] theatre.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} A functionally similar mimic of the Promethean vision module known as the "Viper Shroud" has been developed by the [[Watershed Division]] for [[United Nations Space Command]] usage. The module was designed for use on the [[STREET VIPER-class Mjolnir|STREET VIPER]] helmet. The Viper Shroud consists of a multi-target acquisition and cueing system.{{Ref/Game|Id=HelmetAttachDescription|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=Viper Shroud - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=Multi-target acquisition and cueing system, with locked functionality that mimics capabilities of the Z-5080 SRSA/V module.}}

| | |
| Another UNSC attempt to replicate the functions of the Promethean vision module is the [[FCI attachments#FCI-X/ANPAO|FCI-X/ANPAO attachment]] for the [[VIPER-class Mjolnir|Viper]] helmet, developed by the [[Materials Group]], which enables the wearer to detect and target [[Flood]] biomass.{{Ref/Game|Id=AnpaoDescription|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=FCI-X/ANPAO - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=The ANPAO adapts reverse-engineered functions of Z-5080 SRSA/V "Promethean Vision" module for the detection and targeting of Flood biomass.}}
