The ''Active Camouflage'' power-up is light-bending energy stored in a small, glass-like pyramid in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]''. In ''[[Halo 3]]'' that is suspended in a spherical force-field. Its usage is similar to the way a [[Covenant]] [[overshield]] functions. When the player breaks the active camouflage container (done by simply walking over it), the energy envelops the wearer and bends light around the skin, [[armor]], or [[shielding]], conforming to its user's form and rendering them almost invisible. This effect wears off as the energy dissipates and the user slowly becomes more visible. It is a Covenant device and as such is most commonly used by [[Special Operations Elites]] and [[Stealth Elites]]. However, all varieties of [[MJOLNIR]] armor after and including the [[Mark V]] can also use the technology.
