A '''teleporter''' is a device that allows for instantaneous transport over short distances to another teleporter or teleporter exit point. Unlike the [[Forerunner]] [[Teleportation Grid|teleportation grid]] which is to transport an individual without any visible device, teleporters require a device on both ends. | |||

The Forerunner were known to use a teleporter to transport from the Apex site to the interior surface of the [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|shield world]] encountered by the Covenant and UNSC in 2531. This same teleporter appears to also transport to other parts of the interior surface, though only one teleporter is used to send things back to the Apex. | The Forerunner were known to use a teleporter to transport from [[The Apex|the Apex site]] to the interior surface of the [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|shield world]] [[Battle of the Flood-controlled Shield World|encountered]] by the Covenant and UNSC in [[2531]].

*Telefragging is the use of a teleporter to kill somebody standing on top or inside another teleporter. The player standing on top of the "receiver node" of the teleporter will have the screen slowly turn white before being killed as a "suicide" (this only occurs in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', 'Halo 2'', and Halo Trial, in ''Halo 3'' it says it is blocked). | *Telefragging is the use of a teleporter to kill somebody standing on top or inside another teleporter.

*In Forge, if teleporter A connects to both teleporters B and C, then if a player enters teleporter A in the opposite direction of the glowing indicator on its base, said player will be transported to teleporter B every time; conversely, if the player enters teleporter A in the same direction of the glowing indicator on its base, said player will be transported to teleporter C every time. | *In Forge, if teleporter A connects to both teleporters B and C, then if a player enters teleporter A in the opposite direction of the glowing indicator on its base, said player will be transported to teleporter B every time; conversely, if the player enters teleporter A in the same direction of the glowing indicator on its base, said player will be transported to teleporter C every time. | ||
