The power drain is one of several pieces of deployable [[equipment]] featured in ''[[Halo 3]]''. When thrown, the power drain takes 0.5 seconds to activate, and subsequently lasts 6.5 seconds, equaling a total of [[Seven|7]] seconds. The effects of the power drain pass through walls and floors, so simply fleeing to the bottom floor of a structure after an enemy activates one will still strip one's shields if one passes through the field. This is most noticeable on maps like [[Guardian (Level)|Guardian]].{{Ref/Reuse|H3}} | The power drain is one of several pieces of deployable [[equipment]] featured in ''[[Halo 3]]''.

The power drain can be used in a glitch called [[Equipment jumping]] by moving against a wall, jumping, and then at highest point of the jump deploying the power drain. This allows a player to jump off of it in mid-air. This is a great tactic for reaching high areas of a map, such as the second level of the tower on [[The Pit]]. This can also be done with the radar jammer and flare. The power drain variation of the glitch is commonly claimed to only be able to be performed as an [[Sangheili|Elite]]. This is not the case, but it is exceedingly difficult to do as a Spartan in the [[Xbox 360]] version of ''[[Halo 3]]''; thus, only a few instances of it have been documented. It appears to be easier to accomplish while playing as a Spartan in the ''Halo 3'' portion of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|H3}} | The power drain can be used in a glitch called [[Equipment jumping]] by moving against a wall, jumping, and then at highest point of the jump deploying the power drain.

In ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', the power drain performs as it did in ''Halo 3'' though cannot be used by the player. It is only used by Brute enemies; when the player is in the radius of a power drain, their health will drain in addition to their shields.{{Ref/Reuse|H3ODST}} | In ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', the power drain performs as it did in ''Halo 3'' though cannot be used by the player.
