'''Invincibility''' is an [[equipment]] featured in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. It gives the user a brief period of invulnerability, lasting for about 10 seconds. In order to obtain it, the player is required to kill a [[Brute Chieftain]] without having it activated, and in some rare cases, it can be found just lying around in certain levels. Like the [[Gravity Hammer]] is to the [[Fist of Rukt]], this equipment originates from [[Tartarus]]'s [[Modified Invincibility]].

When activated, the player is covered in shining white bands. It is known to be possessed by all [[Brute Chieftains]] that wield a [[Gravity Hammer]] unhindered, but not the [[War Chieftain|Brute War Chieftains]]. Shooting them when it is activated is simply useless, as you cannot harm them in any way at all. In [[Campaign]], it can be found on some dead Brute Chieftains that have not used the power-up, but this is a rare occurrence, as they will usually activate it the instant they are attacked. In addition to being obtainable from dead Brute Chieftains, there is an Invincibility in the level "[[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]" on [[Easy]], [[Normal]], and [[Heroic]] difficulties. After going up the staircase, face the middle of the door, then turn around the other way and walk into the tunnel. This makes the battle with [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] much easier, since you cannot get hit by the powerful beam.

It has a similar appearance to the Cloaking equipment, except that it glows a gold color, rather than a cool blue color. Its symbol on the [[HUD]] is two overlapping, intersecting ovals with a dot at the center.

It is not present in [[Multiplayer]], unless you edit game-play options where you can make players invincible. However, do note that the [[Guardians]] can still kill you; apart from them your only real danger is from being assassinated.
