Cloak found on JACK.
Cloak or active camouflage is an advance stealth system used primarily by JACK robots to hide away from enemy fire. These systems utilize a light-refracting technology that bends light away from the user, making it all but invisible unless one uses infrared-red vision.[1]
During the Pendulum Wars, at Mount Kadar, scientists from either the Coalition of Ordered Governments or the New Hope Research Facility, experimented on a prototype Cloaking field that could allow a JACK unit to also cloak several Gears at once for a limited time. However, it was abandoned in a workshop in one of the communication towers, until decades later when Kait Diaz stumbled upon this device and installed it on JACK.[2]
Strategy[]
Cloak is a useful ability for JACK in stealth missions. As a player would remain cloaked if he/she does not fire their weapon, one can skillfully weave in-and-out to silently assassinate Swarm and DeeBees without noticing the entire party.
However, it lasts very short, so one must be methodical on how to use this ability. When fully upgraded, the player can fire their weapons when cloaked, confusing the enemy and exposing him to counterfire. The upgrades for Cloak are:
