The Threat Seeker is a small, vaguely-spherical device encased in red painted metal. The device is fired from a handheld launcher in a similar manner to the [[Threat Sensor]] and [[Shroud Screen]]. Upon deployment, the Threat Seeker will impact on a surface, bouncing at least once before activating shortly after. When it activates, the device detonates and emits a single pulse which highlights nearby enemies on the [[heads-up display]] of the user, in a manner much like that of the Threat Sensor. The enemies must be within line of sight of the Threat Seeker to be revealed.{{Ref/Reuse|HCSTwitch}}{{Ref/Reuse|S4Sandbox}}{{Ref/YouTube|Id=S4Trailer|DyvwxoRtfH0|HALO|Season 4: Infection Trailer <nowiki>|</nowiki> Halo Infinite|D=14|M=06|Y=2023}} | The Threat Seeker is a small, vaguely-spherical device encased in red painted metal.

===Development history=== | |||
Threat Seekers were developed by the [[Order of Harmony]], a human group within the Banished, based on captured [[United Nations Space Command]]-built Threat Sensors. The Order have prioritised the construction of Threat Seekers to put their troops on an equal playing field with the alien species of the Banished; while [[Jiralhanae]] and [[Kig-Yar]] have heightened senses that make them efficient hunters, the Order use Threat Seekers for a similar function. The Seeker's design is intended to startle enemy forces and elicit a reaction similar to that of a thrown [[M9 fragmentation grenade|fragmentation grenade]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFShocks}} | |||
