The ''Halo 2''-era fusion cores are | The ''Halo 2''-era fusion cores are detonative objects matte brown and rectangular, overlaid with what appears to be strict 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. | ||

*Fusion coils feature prominently in Forge, where players can place a large amount of cores on any location in a map and detonate them. A Bungie Weekly Update described an incident where a beta tester used them, along with the [[Forge/Tricks#Instant Respawn|Instant Respawn]] trick, to [[Elephant Flipping|turn an Elephant into a "satanic piñata"]] on [[Sandtrap]].<ref name="bwu-12685">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12685 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update 08/03/2007'']</ref> | *Fusion coils feature prominently in Forge, where players can place a large amount of cores on any location in a map and detonate them.
