Cloak is a Primary Badge of the Scout class in Killzone 2 multiplayer.
Description
The Cloak ability initialize the instant the player activate it with zero delay time. It will last indefinitely, until the Scout player hit an enemy player, a Sentry Turret or an Air Support Bot with any weapon, at which point there is a 2-second delay before it is deactivated. Once disabled, there is a 30-second cool-down period before it can be redeployed. The Cloak's effectiveness at rendering the player invisible is directly proportional to their movement speed. Normal movements or sprinting will reduce effectiveness to almost slow, but slow movement in a crouched position will still make Scout players practically invisible. While Cloak is activated, the player's vision will be tinted blue.
Strategy
- Once scoring a kill or have been spotted without their Cloak, Scout players must take immediate step to avoid engaging in a direct firefight.
- The bright screen effect when the Cloak is activated can be an advantage when sniping, as the increased brightness and contrast will make enemies appear more clearly on screen. Cloaked enemy Scouts, however, cannot be spotted under the screen effect.
