TO GIVE THE COVENANT BACK THEIR BOMB
The Covenant uses an Antimatter Bomb (similar to the tactical nukes in the UNSC) to take down large structures or targets. [1] The bomb is about 2 meters long, 1 meter high and is covered in very large spikes that keep the bomb in place. These bombs are equipped with timers on their detonators and contain antimatter. Antimatter is extremely unstable, any contact between destabilized antimatter and normal matter causes an instant, massive explosion of gamma rays.
It is a larger version of the Antimatter Charge. The Covenant carry these on their ships, likely for use by the ships' Elite Rangers. They are capable of destroying entire ships and even space stations, an example being the MAC stations above Earth. If placed near a reactor, the bomb is even capable of destroying an Assault Carrier, as was done by the Master Chief in Halo 2 during the First Battle of Earth[2].
Trivia
- It is referred to by Jason Jones of Bungie as the "Giant Covenant Space Pickle".
- An antimatter particle colliding with a matter particle releases 100% of the energy contained within the particles, while an H-bomb (Hydrogen Bomb) releases only about 7% of this energy. This gives a clue to how effective and powerful this force really is.
- Its explosion is proficient enough to destroy a Covenant Assault Carrier, as seen in the ending of the Halo 2 level, "Cairo Station".
- It is used particularly for boarding, mainly to disable defenses or ships that are slowing down Covenant assaults, like Orbital MAC Platforms.
Sources
- ^ Halo 2, The Covenant placed antimatter bombs on the MAC guns in order to destroy them.
- ^ Halo 2, During the First Battle of Earth SPARTAN-117 placed an antimatter bomb near the reactors which resulted in the destruction of the Assault Carrier.
