The cloaking field is a device used by the female Black Ops assassins in Half-Life and Half-Life: Opposing Force. It is only present on Hard difficulty.

Overview

If playing on Hard difficulty, female Black Ops will possess a cloaking field which grants them near total invisibility. While in an idle state and unaware of any threats, they appear fully opaque. Upon acquiring a target, their form will begin to fade out once they attack, making them difficult to see and defeat in combat. The cloaking field only works when an assassin remains still; it fails whenever they are moving. Upon activation, the cloaking field makes a unique electrical zap sound, serving as an audible cue.
