- When selected the cortex is raised and you press fire to activate it.
- Once activated, it goes away and your weapon is raised. You can switch to other weapons/equipment while cloaked.
- You cloak. The amount of "shimmer" is increased as you move so standing still you will be nigh invisible, but when moving you will be noticeable to an extent. When cloaked, you obviously have no chevron or health bars, but the enemy reticule will flash red if you run past it.
- Cloak can be deactivated by selecting it and pressing fire.
- Once deactivated or it runs out it will start to recharge.
- Firing a weapon while cloaked will rapidly deplete the cloak field (a single shot from a sniper rifle, for instance, will decloak you)
- You can only fit one cloak field at a time.
As a min scout my concern is that this 'shimmer' will be so noticeable that it will make approaching an enemy very difficult, while at the same time I can't 'lurk' (not camping...cough) an objective due to the removal of the profile reduction skill

I understand the logic behind adding a shimmer, but it only encourages people to camp with the cloaking device than be mobile and infiltrate the enemy bases.
Yeah I understand.. but I have to get close and move around more than most scouts
