From time to time while playing infection, I’ll notice someone is infected, but they’re not. They’re like their own team. Still the colors they’ve customized for their Spartan. But cloaked and with a sword. How/why does this happen?
Sounds like they joined in progress.

Hmm, I could see that. Though, every time I’ve encountered it was towards the beginning of the match. But, Still possible. I always envy those who it happens to. They seem to rack up points the fastest! Thanks for the answer.

its very probably how many people out there have the mentality and think “i don’t want to be first infected I quit”
Is this issue occurring on Infection maps that have a Prophet’s Bane in them?

I haven’t seen the prophets bane in the matches, no

There are some maps in Infection, like Molten, which have a Prophet’s Bane on them for Survivors to use. That is probably what you’ve been seeing.

Does the Prophets Bank give the user an active cloak? (I’ve never actually had a chance to use the weapon)

Also, it definitely could just be that sword. I just recall in H4 there was occasionally a player that would be killing both Spartans and Flood (as they were in that game, also W/Out a betrayal) and getting points for whoever they killed

Yes, it does.
I’ve encountered this too they can’t be killed by you either. It’s like they are on both teams plus it says they are on your team yet your retical is red on them

See that’s what I’ve encountered, they do camo with a sword. And the map I encounter it most often IS the lava one, but, they always kill me when I’m a survivor, which still makes me infected and the SAME person will kill me when I’m infected. Neither is considered a team-kill either. This was much more common in H4, however. (More common for me, at least)
It has to do with Join-In-Progress. Infection on H4, and Id assume H5, isnt considered a “true” team gametype. The gametype script itself sets up the “teams” rather than the engine itself. This means it plays like FFA. When JIP happens, the script can bug a little during round-transitions, etc, and not appropriately assign a “team” to the joiner. This allows them to freely kill anyone in-game, just like a regular FFA. They just arent bound to the same set of rules the original players are bound to.
