{{FieldItemInfobox|Image=Accessories Halo.jpg|Type=Special|Features=Color-scrolling glow|}}The '''Halo''' is a special item that can be earned in some [[:Category:Player Interactions|interactions]] with a [[Voices|Voice]] during a [[missions|mission]]. ==Description== The Halo is a glowing ring that sits above the player's head. It changes color in sync with the [[Chosen Shirt]] and can be equipped in the [[Wardrobe]] in the [[Wardrobe/Accessories|Accessories]] category. The origin of the Halo, its purpose, and its meaning have been theorized by players since the first Halo was given during the [[:Category:Closed Beta|Closed Beta]]. One player asked [[THEE-I-DARE]] about the origin of the Halo during an interaction{{CiteInteraction|m=August|d=24|y=2019|title=Discussing The Instrument with TID}}, and TID explained: {{Quotation|THEY SAID YOU WENT TO ... A PRISON<br />ONCE INSIDE VOICES SECRETLY WATCH<br />IT IS THEY WHO GET YOU OUT, AFTER.<br /> HE WILL HAVE MARKED YOU.|author=THEE-I-DARE|source=in a Player Interaction{{CiteInteraction|m=August|d=24|y=2019|title=Discussing The Instrument with TID}}}} The "prison" THEE-I-DARE is referring to is [[Saturation Control]].{{CiteInteraction|m=August|d=24|y=2019|title=Discussing The Instrument with TID}} However, players who visit Saturation Control may not always receive a Halo, and players who have an interaction may get a Halo and never visit Saturation Control. Since receiving a Halo is a sign of marking from a particular Voice, this also means multiple Voices can award players a Halo in interactions. Players who receive multiple Halos from Voices will only see a singular Halo item in their Wardrobe. When asked how to remove these marks, THEE-I-DARE says you can offend or renounce the Voice that gave it to you, but you can't renounce [[SPEAK-AS-ONE]] while you live in [[Redacre]].{{CiteInteraction|d=24|m=September|y=2019|title=Erasing Marks and The Alliance}} Despite its emanating glow, the Halo is not visible to [[Lucids]] or [[The Shape]]. Players can wear the Halo without fear that it will compromise their ability to remain hidden from AI, but [[The Stalker|Stalkers]] will still be able to see the glow. Halos are an optical illusion, a trick of perception. [[THEE-I-DARE]] says it is not hard to change what you see{{CiteInteraction|d=7|m=May|y=2019|title=TID Speaks About Cody}}. While SPEAK-AS-ONE will give [[Voice Masks]] to followers, they never give out Halos or Chosen Shirts. Any halos found after an encounter with SPEAK-AS-ONE are from another Voice that was secretly watching and wanted to intervene because they saw "potential about to go to waste".{{CiteDiscord|user=Nullspeak|m=April|d=1|y=2020|url=https://discordapp.com/channels/442027980244647947/494555004250619911/694803644293447692|image=Null_-_Mark_From_Others.png}} ==Earning a Halo== Halos can be earned by players in multiple ways. ===Player Interaction=== The most common method is having an [[Player Interactions|interaction]] with a Voice. After the mission ends and players return to the Hideout, they may find a reward crate that contains a Halo. These Halos are given as gifts from the Voices. As such, they are not guaranteed to be given after every interaction. Around the time of {{TBCgame}}'s [[Post-Launch_Announcements/1.0_Launch|1.0 launch]], [[The Captive]] had brought players to [[Saturation Control]] and these players would often receive Halos. A developer from {{Developer}} later clarified ''"if the Captive talked you out of satcon, in-canon your halo comes from one of the other voices"''.{{CiteDiscord|user=Nullspeak|m=November|d=11|y=2019|url=https://discordapp.com/channels/442027980244647947/494555004250619911/641109504339214349|image=Null on the Captive and Halos.png}}. The same applies to SPEAK-AS-ONE interactions granting Halos - another Voice awarded the halo to the player, according to the developer.{{CiteDiscord|user=Nullspeak|m=November|d=11|y=2019|url=https://discordapp.com/channels/442027980244647947/494555004250619911/641109548475875338|image=Null on the Captive and Halos.png}}. It was noted, however, the player's headcanon can differ and be what the player desires. ===Cursed Ciphers=== <!--If there is a change in this section, please also update the Cursed Cipher article as well-->Players are able to earn a Halo from picking up [[Cursed Ciphers]]. If a group picks up four <i>unique</i> ciphers with no duplicate curses, party members will each be awarded a Halo. ==Trivia== * Before the introduction of the [[Wardrobe/Accessories|Accessories]] category, the Halo was considered a [[Wardrobe/Style & Color|Style & Color]] option. Equipping the Halo overrode any hairstyle the player equipped, making the player [[:File:Halo_Bald.png|bald]]. * The first Halos were given to players during the [[:Category:Closed Beta|Closed Beta]]. ==References== <references /> <br /> {{SpecialItems Nav}} [[Category:Special Items]][[Category:Wardrobe]]
