In Titanfall (2014), Arc Grenades react differently depending on your HUD status. If you're on foot, it blinds and scrambles your HUD. If you're in a Titan, it only scrambles the Titan's cameras without blinding. If your helmet happens to be turned off, it only blinds your screen without scrambling.
