Cloaker

Wtf is a Cloaker does it have night vision or what am I missing something or does he beat the crap outta you

It has high health and the ability to insta-down all but the last heister. The night vision goggles he wears let you know if he is charging you/someone.

Btw when only one heister is still standing he is essentially a high health cop with an smg and not very scary.

the only thing scary is the trip to the hospital he would have for searing his retinas
wearing night vision goggles in broad daylight is bad

You forgot to mention that apprently he has explosives strapped to it, because shooting his head almost instantly kills him dispite having 1080 hp.

Curious -- did they ever actually have some sort of cloaking ability? From the perspective of a newer player, their name seems a bit strange.

Alright good point, but still I find it insane how this light weight unit with small agile armour has a ♥♥♥♥ ton of health, but his head is apprently got a ticking time bomb in it that can only be triggered with bullets.
What I'm saying is OP that the cloaker migth seem scary but much like everything else in this game, anything that does 40 damage will kill him instantly, due to having a stupidly high head shot mutiplier.

And when you cut them in half with katana, you can see that they are made of pizza.

Their name likely stems from the fact they tend to cloak their position to the unwary. They hide behind doors, under cars, around corners and at a range the unaware can assume he's just another SWAT in the distance.

Back in PD1 they were 100% silent, no warning noise bar a cop voice line for CLOAKERS, HIT EM IN THE BACK as well. You did hear them break out of a vent though.
