| '''Antimatter''' is the physical counterpart to matter. Antimatter consists of antiparticles which have the same mass as their matter counterparts but with a reversed charge. Antimatter annihilates upon contact with matter.

| The [[Covenant]] use antimatter as a reactant in ordnance, namely [[antimatter charge]]s. These charges were used in the [[Battle over Installation 04]]{{Ref/Level|[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]|[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]}} and to destroy ''[[Athens Station]]'', ''[[Malta Station]]'', and nearly ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'' in the [[Battle for Earth]].{{Ref/Level|Halo 2|[[Cairo Station]]}}
| | '''Antimatter''' is the physical counterpart to matter. Antimatter consists of antiparticles which have the same mass as their matter counterparts but with a reversed charge. Antimatter annihilates upon contact with matter, theoretically releasing one hundred percent (100%) of all matter held within the annihilating particles; mainly in the form of Gamma rays (Photons) and other matter/antimatter particles. To put this into perspective, the energy released in a hydrogen bomb is only 0.007% of the energy within those particles. |

| Certain [[Forerunner]] weapons use antimatter as well; the [[Z-390 incineration cannon]], for example, fires antimatter embedded within streams of energized particles.{{Ref/Book|[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]|Page=101}} [[Converging beam cannon]]s of the {{Class|Sojourner|dreadnought}} created paths for antimatter to pursue enemy starships.{{Ref/Book|Halo : Warfleet|Page=80-81}}

| The UNSC is known to have established an antimatter production facility on [[Mercury]] alongside solar research facilities,{{Ref/Book|HM|Section=The Interplanetary War|Page=51}} however even the UNSC's most advanced laboratories produce less than a gram of antimatter a year.{{Ref/Book|HEnc11|Page=333}}
