==Overview==

The ''Riruku''-pattern serves as a Covenant equivalent to [[satchel charge]]s used by [[human]]ity.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} It consists of a round, heavily armoured casing protecting an [[antimatter]] core - visually resembling a larger {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}.{{Ref/Reuse|Invasion}} It is capable of being affixed to surfaces and remote-detonated{{Ref/Novel|Id=TF8|HTF|Chapter=8}}, or planted on an automatic countdown timer.{{Ref/Reuse|Invasion}}
 
===Usage===
The ''Riruku''-pattern void maker is equipped by specialist Covenant pioneer and storm [[lance]]s to breach enemy fortifications and deploy onto hostile spacecraft during [[Naval boarding|boarding]] actions.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
==Operational history==
A Covenant charge was employed by [[Zuka 'Zamamee]]'s strike team during the [[Battle of Alpha Base]] in late [[2552]], used to free several captured [[Unggoy]] in UNSC custody.{{Ref/Reuse|TF8}}

The Covenant bomb only appears in select [[Invasion]] gametypes, in which the gametype is set so that the [[Sangheili|Elite]] players are on the offense and the objective is [[assault]]. In this mode, the Elites have to deliver a bomb to a predetermined site, in which the bomb serves as the Covenant equivalent to the UNSC [[Type 14 Magnetic/Anti-Tank Mine|Assault bomb]]. The bomb produces a massive plasma detonation capable of shattering [[UNSC]] [[blast door]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Invasion}}

In the original release of ''Halo: Reach'' for the [[Xbox 360]], the bomb can only be used by Sangheili on the map [[Breakpoint]], with Sangheili assault objectives on other maps simply using the UNSC bomb model. This behaviour carried over into the ''Reach'' port for ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' until [[Series 6: Raven]], which updated the maps [[Forge World]] and [[Tempest]] to also include the Covenant bomb variant for appropriate usage.{{Ref/Site|D=7|M=4|Y=2021|URL=https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059503311-Halo-The-Master-Chief-Collection-MCC-Patch-Notes-April-2021|Site=Halo Support|Page=Halo: The Master Chief Collection (MCC) Patch Notes - April 2021}}
