Tactical Cloak

Tactical Cloak is a tech power available to Infiltrators in Mass Effect 2. When activated, it instantly renders Shepard invisible to all enemies. Additionally, Tactical Cloak grants a damage bonus to all weapons and powers. However it also halts health and shield regeneration, leaving Shepard vulnerable once the cloak wears off.

Enemies will immediately stop attacking Shepard the moment the cloak is activated, and will instead turn their attention upon the rest of the squad. However, the cloak will not prevent automated targeting, such as missiles or direct-damage powers from hitting Shepard once it have been launched. Additionally, the cloak does not prevent damage to Shepard; the Commander can still be hurt or hindered by attacks targeted elsewhere. After the cloak wears off, enemies will attack Shepard again. However, at least one enemy, the Oculus, will continue to pursue and attack Shepard despite being cloaked.

The power's 6-second cooldown does not begin until after the cloak is removed. However, it should be noted that the Tactical Cloak is removed after Shepard reloads a new thermal clip or uses a power. Charging Heavy Weapons like the M-920 Cain will disable the effect as well (however it will not fully deactivate until the weapon is ready to fire).
