*Oddly enough, a group of Major and Minor Grunts in the Halo 2 level [[Delta Halo]] used Active Camouflage as they fought alongside a group of [[Stealth Elites]]. This suggests that at least some lower ranked Grunts have this equipment. | |||
*When you shoot, or melee with Active Camo on, you will start to become visible, the more you shoot or melee, the more visible you will become, then you gradually turn invisible after the shooting or meleeing stops. | *When you shoot, or melee with Active Camo on, you will start to become visible, the more you shoot or melee, the more visible you will become, then you gradually turn invisible after the shooting or meleeing stops. | ||

*When using cloaking in ''Halo 3'', it's not suggested that you use a [[Gravity Hammer]] because the lights emitted by the hammer will still be visible but an energy sword can be unsheathed without a sound and held without a light giving you away. | *When using cloaking in ''Halo 3'', it's not suggested that you use a [[Gravity Hammer]] because the lights emitted by the hammer will still be visible but an energy sword can be unsheathed without a sound and held without a light giving you away. | ||
*As stated in the [[Halo 2]] Piggyback Offical Guide, when used in association with an [[Overshield]], the Active Camo becomes completely useless due to the charges of the overshield washing over the player's body (except in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''). In Halo 3, the same effect occurs when Active Camouflage and Overshields are both working. | *As stated in the [[Halo 2]] Piggyback Offical Guide, when used in association with an [[Overshield]], the Active Camo becomes completely useless due to the charges of the overshield washing over the player's body (except in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'').

*The Active Camouflage can also be used for defensive purposes in [[Halo 3]], acting like a floating shield. Crouching behind one will shield the bulk of your character from enemy fire, giving your shields time to recharge.
