Cloak Ability
Both the cloak ability and the plasma gun have their own battery bar that appears when you either equip the gun or turn on the cloak ability.

You turn on and off the cloak by pressing the "Y". Cloak now stays on for a minute and 40 seconds before completely drained and takes 1 minute and 15 seconds to recharge to 100%.

***Cloak will only work if player is fully equipped with armor.***


You must remove helmet first in order to have your player not be invisible.
Removing helmet will make the player completely visible.

For some reason it seems when I cloak I cant uncloak. any ideas? im on The Center.

could the cloak be changed to shift y so it doesn't clash with the whisle thanks
salcarr  [developer] 24 Sep, 2016 @ 9:41pm 
Yes, I will change it but not sure if it will change anything, I only say this cause in the dev kit using shift Y still does the whistle, so not sure it will change in the game.

no problem it was just a suggestion because of the clash with the whistle
also but unrelated when logging in the helm gets really big for some reason
any how thanks for the mod

After you cloak and uncloak, if you remove the armor your guy stays invisible till he dies... Can only see his implant and shorts.

Is there any way to reduce the recharge time? It was formerly Instant
salcarr  [developer] 10 Oct, 2016 @ 8:36pm 
yeah I took away the instant charge for a more balanced pvp experience, this is so players are not running around cloaked the whole time during gameplay
AbelRamosRC 11 Oct, 2016 @ 1:45am 
My humble opinion is that it should be able to adapt both pvp, as pve, 1 minute recharge is too pve. Sorry for the inconvenience (and my English so bad) :)

is it possible to shorten the cool down to make 30 seconds ? ive had to repair my armor 10 times in 20 minutes do to the cool down taking to long to be able to re activate the cloak to save me from rexs lol

My first question to you is why would you need a cloak to save you from a Rex? Frankly they are quite slow and easy to outrun, especially on a good mount or by foot if you pumped movement speed. Also using the cloak should not affect armor durability so i assume you are intentionally putting yourself in harms way which is the opposite of how a survivor game is to be played, This however is just how I view it.

@SavageCaliber the cloak is meant to use as like a perk to help you achieve certain tasks, like getting a few free extra hits on a player or dino or for scoping out a base in PVP so it is meant to be used strategically. Therefore, you should use it wisely, however, there will be new armors with different stats so this means the cool downs will differ based on armors, but lowering will only make the cloak seem unbalanced since you can cloak for almost 2 mins but only 40 secs to recharge, players would be recharged in no time and basically running around invisible for the most part and wont seem really balanced. However, I will discuss with my team ideas for players who are single player where it is PVE.
