How does it affect the hit box of the Spartan? This was mentioned in the latest 343 post.
It doesn’t, no armor changes hit boxes. Otherwise you’d see more people with the smaller, sleeker armors.
JasonDaFolf is right, no armor changes hitboxes, but I still don’t know why it was banned. Possibly slight color changes so it’s a little harder to differentiate between teams? IDK
i’ve never herd of it affecting your hit box but i know it completely removes the sound when you stabilize and ground pound which is pretty OP. i think they are banning people from using it in the HWC whilst they work on a fix.

That does sound OP, gotta go equip that before it’s gone!

It doesn’t affect the hitbox of your Spartan. What it does do however is, 1: Your thrust/boost from the Thruster Pack does not appear, and 2: Your Sniper Rifle will be invisible on your back.

So not much then?
Plz don’t remove it, Icarus is my favorite armor! I didn’t even know it was broken!

Unless you always play with audio muted, then yeah it does do quite a bit. Not being able to hear someone coming or see what secondary they have equipped is pretty bad.

I guess so, though I never see what anybody is carrying, i’m already dead. The thrusters could be counteracted through an increased radar, but I guess it would be easier just to fix it. I wonder how long it has been broken for?
It affects the audio to give an unfair advantage.

Don’t worry, they’ll probably temporarily remove it, fix it then put it back in

Since Monitor’s Bounty came out, I assume.
I believe that it affects all weapons not just the Sniper. A friend and I tested this theory and found it to be true.
I think it just gives you a silent hover but you still show up on radar so I’m not sure how much of an advantage this really is.
I got more use out of using a full visor helmet with midnight and just poking my head out. I went from getting shot 1st 7/10 times to getting 1st shot 9/10. In some cases people took a while to spot me.

I’ve found playing muted does have some benefits to making it easier to notice things on the screen more fluently.

what you aee saying is very ironic… you are trying to say that using a full visor helmet make you difficult to spot? if so then how can the tha chances of getting 1st shot be 9/10. it should be 1/10.

I’m confused to how your confused I used getting shot 1st and being able to get 1st shot. So like with a helmet with visible colour I would rarely get 1st shot and with a full visor helmet the odds where more than reverse. I would even say this is how I got 2 perfect games in warzone assault focusing on only ever having my head visible.
Though after playing with icurious I get some things like silent ground pounds. But for the most part Ive never heard enemies in halo that much compared to other games. I don’t know if the effect just doesn’t play for me like how people don’t show up on radar.
Though to be fair there isn’t enough open information on all of these effects of icurious the best I could find when I googled it was some info with some basics but wrong information.
Edit: also both of these things apply to opposite behaviours in game silenced attacker verses a harder to spot camper/choker
I don’t know how this partains to in game but in theater the secondary was equipped to the feet or under the feet.
