The Type-32s primary weakness is its light armor and exposed cockpit, most anti-armor weapons can easily punch through the armor of the Ghost and destroy it. If the [[Fuel cell|plasma containment vessel]] of the Ghost is damaged, or breached, a chain reaction can start which will result in the destruction of the vehicle, anything within a certain radius of the Ghost as the vehicle is destroyed by the resulting explosion and the subsequent release of the more than 5000°C plasma will be incinerated instantly.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', "[[Palace Hotel (short story)|Palace Hotel]]", ''pages 362-363''</ref> Anything just outside of the blast radius can also sustain injures by debris ejected from the explosion.
