| The '''Forerunner secondary reactors''', sometimes referred to as '''bonus reactors''', are [[Forerunner]] [[generator]]s. They are characterised by their circular structures with four pylons pointing upwards to its "chimney". Each reactor features a walkway outlining the building's edge. The hollowed center emits a bright bluish-purple light when the reactor is in use. These reactors have been found on [[Harvest]], [[Arcadia]], on the surface of the [[shield world]] [[Trove]], and within its interior.<ref>'''Halo Wars'''</ref> | | The '''Forerunner Bonus Reactor''' is a building found in ''[[Halo Wars]]'' which increases the tech level of any player that stations infantry within it by 1. The Forerunner Bonus Reactor itself cannot be destroyed but the infantry inside can be. Once taken it gives protection to those inside like a [[Deployable lookout tower|Deployable Lookout Tower]]. |

| The Forerunner secondary reactors are reactors built and used by the Forerunners in their ground based attacks. In some battles, they had time to retreat and detonate them.

This may be why Flood can often be found stationed outside of them. |

| By [[2531]], when [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces from {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} explored the surface of Etran Harborage, at least two of these reactors remained intact and operational despite the Flood's domination over the shield world's surface. UNSC forces were able to reactivate these reactors, which provided similar level of power generation as [[UNSC reactor|their UNSC counterparts]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Shield World (level)|Shield World]]''</ref>

| ==Gameplay==
| |
| The Forerunner secondary reactor is a building found in ''Halo Wars'' [[campaign]] and [[multiplayer]]. It increases the tech level of any player that stations an infantry unit within it, allowing players to bypass the need to construct the [[UNSC reactor]]s or [[Covenant temple]].
| |
| | |
| Two secondary reactors could be found in the campaign level ''[[Shield World (level)|Shield World]]''. The building is much more common in Skirmish maps, typically defended by [[unidentified insurrectionist group|rebels]], the Flood, or [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. Units garrisoned in the structure receive the same defensive bonus as they would in a [[Covenant watchtower]]. Although the building itself cannot be destroyed, the infantry inside can be killed, allowing the structure and its benefit to be contested between players.
