Active camouflage: Difference between revisions

The term '''active camouflage''' (often shortened to '''active camo''' or '''av-cam''') refers to various light-bending technologies, both [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]<ref name="goo">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 291''</ref> and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. Most commonly, the term is applied to Covenant-developed cloaking equipment.

==Description==

Technically, active camouflage is not quite invisibility, though it is very similar. Rather, it is the term that is used to describe a broad range of technologies that allows a wearer or object to blend in with its terrain, mimicking the environment around it perfectly, though in two dimensions. There are a variety of ways to do this, though the UNSC uses [[photoreactive panel]]s on its [[Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor]] and [[UNSC prowler|Prowler]] stealth ships for optical camouflage, adapting to account for movement.

When playing as the Arbiter, using any attack will cause the active camouflage to deactivate, and the player must wait for it to recharge before using it again.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]'''</ref>
