The '''Shroud Screen''' is a piece of infantry [[equipment]] developed for use by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. When deployed, the Shroud Screen produces a spherical region intended to block the visibility of hostiles.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Sep22|Ramqlt7vxJ8|HALO|Halo Infinite <nowiki>|</nowiki> Update – September 2022|D=17|M=12|Y=2022}}{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Holiday22|-lihCw0on1w|HALO|Holiday Community Livestream <nowiki>|</nowiki> Halo Infinite|D=17|M=12|Y=2022}}{{Ref/Game|Id=HI|HINF|Shroud Screen in-game equipment}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
The Shroud Screen was developed for use by [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] infiltration teams.{{Ref/Twitter|Id=Database|Halo|1636789506778058752|Halo|Quote=SHROUD SCREEN - Developed primarily for use by ONI infiltration teams, the Shroud Screen create a localized field that disrupts electro-optical sensors and motion trackers.|D=17|M=03|Y=2023}} It functions in a similar manner to the [[Threat Sensor]] equipment, consisting of a device fired from a handheld launching mechanism. Upon deployment, the Shroud Screen emits a [[Holography|holographic]] localised hemisphere which disrupts electro-optical sensors and [[motion tracker]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Database}} The opaque blue sphere prevents those outside of the region from both seeing into and past the sphere. The same effect is true for those caught within the sphere—anyone who enters the region cannot see out of it. Additionally, for those within the region, all external sounds become attenuated. On top of this, the Shroud Screen is capable of blocking the sensing capabilities of the motion trackers included in [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]].{{Ref/Reuse|Holiday22}}{{Ref/Reuse|HI}}

It is unclear whether the Shroud Screen shares any technological basis with the similarly-named [[Chimera (armor)|Shroudshot Augmentor]], developed by the [[Created]] for use on their [[Executor]] supersoldiers. If so, this would indicate the Shroud Screen to share some of its function with the [[disruption generator]]s of the [[Guardian Custode]]s.{{Ref/Game|Id=Shroudshot|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=Shroudshot Augmentor shoulder description|Quote=An early experiment with one-shot disruption generators that some assemblies continue to update and refine in expectation of renewed hostilities with biologic-directed power blocs.}}

==In-game information==
===''Halo Infinite''===
The Shroud Screen is a piece of [[equipment]] in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', released in [[Season 03: Echoes Within]]. Like the Threat Sensor, the Shroud Screen can be fired across considerable distances and will activate after coming into contact with any surface. Unlike the Threat Sensor, however, the Shroud Screen will not become attached to any players or vehicles it lands on. Instead, the Shroud Screen will remain stationary until it deactivates. The spherical region is opaque, preventing players outside of its perimeter from seeing into or past the sphere. Any players within the sphere are likewise prevented from seeing out of it. However, a well-placed Threat Sensor will reveal any enemy players within the sphere. Additionally, the motion trackers of any players within the sphere will cease displaying the positions of nearby enemy players. Also, any external audio experienced while within the Shroud Screen's perimeter will become muffled. Unlike the [[Z-4190 bubble shield|Bubble shield]] and [[Drop shield]] of previous games, the Shroud Screen does not block any projectiles.{{Ref/Reuse|Holiday22}}{{Ref/Reuse|HI}} 

Players can by default hold up to four charges of the Shroud Screen in [[multiplayer]].{{Ref/Reuse|Holiday22}}{{Ref/Reuse|HI}} The [[Blind Fire]] medal can be earned for killing an enemy from within a Shroud Screen.
