| '''Methane Tanks''' are cylinder shaped structures used by the [[Covenant]].<ref name="beer">[[Halo: The Flood]], page 60</ref> They are large and resemble fuel tanks of modern trucks.
| |
| | |
| Methane Tanks are used for the [[Grunts]] of the Covenant. They provide a place for the creatures to breathe their [[W:Methane|methane]] atmosphere outside of their suits. Thus, Grunts usually remove their suits when entering a methane tank.<ref name="beer"/> | |
| | |
| If the suit is removed while the grunt is in a low-methane environment, the grunt will gasp for air (like a fish) before dying.
| |
| | |
| There is a main chamber for the Grunts to reside in and a smaller chamber in front where the Grunts can change into and out of their suits.<ref name="beer"/> These structures often have posted guards to prevent the creatures inside from being caught off guard.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 61</ref>

| | |
| [[Halo: The Flood]] mentions these specifically, but in [[Halo: First Strike]], edifices called "Methane Pits" are noticed by [[Spartan-104]]. They may or may not be the same, but that is unclear.
| |
| | |
| [[Contact Harvest]] also outlines a "Methane Suite" aboard the ''[[Minor Transgression]]''. [[Dadab]] describes the suite as being a box-like room with triangular depressions in the wall; compressor stations for refilling [[Unggoy]] portable methane tanks. The room also features the infamous [[Food Nipple]].

| ==Trivia==
| |
| * In Halo 3 Grunt Methane tanks can be shot off. This can be done while a Grunt is still alive, if the player aims at the protruding tank and hit it with a Battle Rifle round or Magnum it will explode. The surviving Grunt will proceed to run away screaming as bright blue methane escapes from the remaining tank.
| |
| | |
| * Any, dead or alive, Grunts can also have their rebreathers shot off, exposing the Grunt's grotesque mouth. Easiest to do this is to use a Sentinel Beam and fire directly at the mouth.
| |
| | |
| * If you do either of the above, the Grunt will run around suffocating, eventually toppling over dead. if you have [[Halo_3_Skulls # IWHBYD| IWHBYD]] on, they will speak as if they dislike the Earth's air quality.
