==Description==
==Overview==
Disruption bombs are dropped from [[Shortsword|Shortsword Bombers]] using the M/RODAS delivery system. They act in similar fashion to [[Power Drain|Power drains]], emitting a blue energy field. They can kill all electronic equipment within 3.4km and weight 1814kg.

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 [[electromagnetic pulse]] energy field that disrupts all electronic equipment within {{Convert|3.4|km|mi|sp=us}} of the detonation point.

In [[Halo Wars]], they function similarly to the power drain equipment from [[Halo 3]], but instead of lowering enemy shields, they temporarily prevent any leaders from using their special powers.

Disruption bombs can be called in from any UNSC leader for the price of 450 supplies. They only appear in multiplayer or skirmish mode.

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

Disruption bombs are generally dropped from B-65 Shortsword bombers equipped with the M/RODAS delivery system. They acted in similar fashion to the much smaller power drain device, emitting a blue electromagnetic pulse energy field that disrupts all electronic equipment within 3.4 kilometers (2.1 mi) of the detonation point. The bomb weighs 1,814 kilograms (4,000 lb).[1]

Gameplay[edit]

Halo Wars[edit]

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 Resources 450 supplies. It is available only in multiplayer and skirmish modes.
