While [[active camouflage]] technology was reverse-engineered from [[Forerunner]] technology by the [[Huragok]], Cloaking modules specifically were developed by the [[Jiralhanae]], intended for use against the [[United Nations Space Command]] or [[heretic]] factions within the Covenant itself.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}} | |||
They visually resemble the [[Invincibility]] modules used by the [[Jiralhanae]], though with a blue colouration as opposed to gold. When activated, they grant the user a single-use temporary [[active camouflage]] field lasting for roughly twelve seconds. Unlike [[Armor abilities|armor ability]] modules like the [[Type-3 active camouflage|Type-3 Refraction Dissonance Modifier/Camouflage]], the cloaking field is only a single-use item and cannot be used again once expended.{{Ref/Game|Id=H3|H3|Cloaking in-game equipment}} | |||
