The Quantum Translocator is a piece of equipment that allows the user to place a portal at a chosen location and then instantly return through that portal upon activation of the equipment.[1][2]
Overview
Design details
The Quantum Translocator is a small box-like device developed by the United Nations Space Command with the use of Forerunner technology. Upon activation of the Quantum Translocator, a slipspace portal is placed. When the user activates the device a second time, they are instantaneously translocated through the portal, returning to where it was placed.[1][2]
Development history
The Translocator was developed by the UNSC thanks to research and reverse-engineering efforts on translocation systems employed throughout Forerunner installations, and those used by modified Promethean constructs under Created control. Recent events have given the UNSC reason to accelerate their research and development on such prototypes, presumably over earlier, similar technologies such as the MX-1050 Quantum Plane Translocation Marker-Local/Hybrid device, though they are still a long way from become standard-issue.[3]
Gameplay
Halo Infinite
The Quantum Translocator is a piece of 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.[2] 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, they are instantly teleported back to the position where they placed the 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.[1][2] Upon returning to the their original position, the energy thread no longer follows the player. The thread will reappear when they place down another portal, which requires the player to wait until the equipment finished its cooldown timer. Unlike the other power-ups in the game, Overshield and Active Camouflage, the Quantum Translocator can be used more than once per pick-up.[2]
