-'''Gas canisters''' are devices of [[Forerunner]] build. They were most noticeably seen at the [[Threshold gas mine|Gas Mine]] and were presumably used by the Forerunner for the containment and distribution of gas. The gas could then be harnessed as a source of power, or stored for later purposes.

-==Appearance==
+The container component of a gas canister is transparent, making it easy to observe whether a canister is empty or filled with gas. When a filled canister experiences a breach, the gas violently escapes from it, producing a potent explosion as it disperses in the air. Gas canisters could be transported through a variety of means, including the gas mine's system of [[conveyor belt]]s. They were also occasionally carried by [[Sentinel Aggressor|Sentinels]].<ref name="arbiter"/>
-Gas canisters in-game come in two variations: empty and filled. The empty variant is a clear box and proves to be exemplary cover, albeit the fact that the bulk of them move on conveyor belts. The latter is filled with gas from the gas giant [[Threshold]] and possess a swirling blue appearance to it. When a filled canister experiences a breach, the gas violently escapes from it, producing a potent explosion as it disperses in the air.
+==In-game==
+Gas canisters are only found in ''[[Halo 2]]'', in the two [[campaign]] levels set inside the gas mine; ''[[The Arbiter]]'' and ''[[The Oracle]]''. In addition, empty ones can be found in the [[multiplayer]] map, ''[[Colossus]]''. In-game, they come in two variations: empty and filled. The empty variant is a clear box and proves to be exemplary cover, albeit the fact that the bulk of them move on conveyor belts. The latter is filled with swirling blue gas from the gas giant Threshold, and is highly explosive if fired upon.
-As the player approaches the hangar bay docked with a [[Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Seraph]], one may see that a lone [[Sentinel]] is carrying a canister. This may be accomplished with built in clamps, or magnets. Overall, ingame, the Gas canisters appear in two campaign levels, [[The Arbiter]], the [[Oracle]], and in addition to that, empty ones can be found in the ''[[Halo 2]]'' multiplayer map, [[Colossus]].
