Disruption bombs are generally dropped from [[B-65 Shortsword]] bombers equipped with the [[Maastricht/Raleigh Ordnance Delivery-Application System|M/RODAS delivery system]]. They acted in similar fashion to the much smaller [[power drain]] device, emitting a blue energy field that disrupts all electronic equipment within 3.4 kilometers of the detonation point. The bomb weighs 1,814 kilograms.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | |||

In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the disruption bomb functions similarly to the power drain equipment from ''[[Halo 3]]'', but instead of lowering enemy shields, it temporarily prevents any nearby Covenant leader units from using their special powers. The bomb can halt whatever power is being used at the moment for about one minute, and prevent any others from being activated within its active radius. The weapon can be called in from any UNSC leader for the price of 450 supplies. It is available only in multiplayer and skirmish modes. | |||
