If the Active Camo is active during [[Campaign]], you are completely invisible to the AI enemies unless you fire your weapon. Active camouflage is only usable in Campaign when you are playing as the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'', or if you pick up [[Cloaking]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''. It is also available as a powerup in five levels during ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'': [[Truth and Reconciliation (Level)|Truth and Reconciliation]], [[Silent Cartographer (Level)|Silent Cartographer]], [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]], [[Keyes (Level)|Keyes]], and [[Assault on the Control Room (Level)|Assault on the Control Room]].

An interesting fact about Active Camouflage is that although you can see the [[Energy Sword|Sword]]-wielding Active Camo Elites in Halo: Combat Evolved (due to the sword), the [[Marine]]s cannot see them; this is likely because the developers didn't realize that the [[Energy Sword]] showed through the Active Camo, leading them to code the Marines' AI to be oblivious to it. This advantage is removed in Halo 2 -- the Elites now wait, only activating their swords when they're about to kill you.
