In [[2556]], the destruction of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} on [[Installation 04]] was discovered to have created deposits of a new element unique to a fragment of the installation known as [[Alpha Shard]]. The new element was fatal only to humans and was used in [[Terrorist attack on Sedra City|a terrorist attack]] on [[Sedra City]]. To prevent such an attack again, [[ONI]] Commander [[Jameson Locke]] got [[Goodwin|Rear Admiral Goodwin]] to approve the use of a HAVOK to destroy the deposits. Accompanied by forces from the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]], [[Locke's team]] undertook [[Mission to Alpha Shard|a mission]] to the shard. In order to escape the shard, the HAVOK's emergency fuel cell was used to briefly power a [[Condor]] dropship, but this required a manual detonation of the warhead. As Locke and Private [[Talitha Macer]] escaped the shard in [[Bactrian-class freighter|the smugglers' ship]], Colonel [[Randall Aiken]] detonated the HAVOK, destroying the deposits and preventing their use ever again.<ref>'''Halo: Nightfall'''</ref>

Seven excavation-grade HAVOK warheads were stored on [[Ivanoff Station]], presumably for excavation purposes rather than tactical ones given Ivanoff's status as a research station. During the [[Raid on Ivanoff Station]] by the [[Didact]], the [[John-117|Master Chief]] had all of the warheads prepared in order to destroy the [[Composer]] and prevent the Didact from getting it. After the Didact digitized everyone in the station, the Master Chief took one of these HAVOKs in the form of a missile attached to an [[F-41 Broadsword]] fighter and chased after the Didact. During the Didact's subsequent [[New Phoenix Incident|attack on Earth]], the Master Chief boarded the Didact's ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'' with the HAVOK and detonated it, destroying the ship and the Composer.<ref name="halo4"/>

In the aftermath of the ship's destruction, a [[Sangheili]] terrorist attempted to destroy the city of [[Rio de Janeiro]] with a smuggled HAVOK warhead; he was ultimately stopped by UNSC special forces operatives.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Departure|S1E01 Departure]]''</ref>

During the [[Requiem Campaign]], [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] stole at least seven HAVOK-class warheads from the UNSC. During a raid on the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, the Covenant planted one HAVOK in the ship's Server Room, and six more throughout the Engine Room. The HAVOKs were equipped with [[active camouflage]] to hide them from the ship's sensors. However, [[Fireteam Crimson]] was able to locate and disarm all the HAVOKs before they could be detonated.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', Episodes ''Scattered'' & ''Invasion''</ref>

In [[2558]], an old repurposed HAVOK given to them by the [[New Colonial Alliance]] was used by people of [[Carrow]] to power their emergency bunker. During the [[Battle of Carrow]], the HAVOK's core was used as the power source for a makeshift [[EMP]] weapon to disrupt the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]]'s control of the ''[[vertex]]'' and through it the [[Sharquoi]]. After Governor [[Ellis Gass]] took the ''vertex'' for herself, she drew the Sharqoui back inside their hive and detonated the HAVOK, destroying the hive, the hundreds of thousands of Sharquoi inside and part of the nearby city of [[Suraka]]. Later scans by the [[UNSC frigate]] {{UNSCShip|Welcome to the Snipehunt}} confirmed that the HAVOK appeared to have taken out all of the Sharquoi, though plans were made to keep an eye on the nearby desert in case any escaped before the blast.<ref>'''[[Halo: Envoy]]'''</ref>
