m (Possibly missing comma found. More concise phrases than brown in color and rectangular in shape may lose no meaning and sound more powerful. I hate redundancy, and minor edits that don't add or remove information being reverted. This edit is unnecessary but so is te phrase "brown in color".) |

The ''Halo 2''-era fusion cores are explosive objects matte brown | The ''Halo 2''-era fusion cores are explosive objects matte brown and rectangular, overlaid with what appears to be austere gold circuitry on the surface. In ''Halo 3'', the fusion coil has been graphically redesigned. The actual plasma core appears to be an amber, darkly-glowing, cylindrical object within a metallic-gray colored frame. When slightly damaged, the internal core glows a warning red; when heavily damaged, it glows bright white. Stickers on the frame warn of radioactivity and high voltage. It emits a loud humming noise constantly. | ||
The appearance of the fusion core in ''Halo: Reach'' changed very little from the design in ''Halo 3''. The once yellow glow of the fusion core is now a dark green. This appearance remains unchanged in ''Halo 4'', with the exception that the internal glow is now blue instead of green. Additionally, ''Halo 4'' contains another form of fusion coil that seems to be filled with a liquid substance that will make a splash when destroyed, and will disintegrate nearby targets. This fusion core exists in the Majestic, Castle, and Bullseye map packs and in Forge Island. | The appearance of the fusion core in ''Halo: Reach'' changed very little from the design in ''Halo 3''.

A trap can be made by shooting one with a [[shotgun]] at a certain distance, causing it to fall over and glow white before having a very delayed detonation; which also be triggered by touching the glowing container. | ||
