A similar "[[Teleport]]" [[armor ability]] has also been used in [[War Games]] simulations by {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} personnel, though its relation to the MX-1050 and Quantum Translocator - if any - and whether the equipment exists outside of the simulations is unknown. | |||

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]].
