'''Battlefield Methane Tanks''' are equipment used primarily by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Unggoy|Grunts]].
'''Battlefield methane tanks''' are used by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Unggoy]] to spare additional [[methane]] for their personal gas tanks.
 
The Grunt's homeworld, [[Balaho]], is a [[methane]]-rich planet and as such they breathe methane gas. Thus, when they are in a [[oxygen]]-rich atmosphere, like that of the [[Halo Array|Halo installations]] or [[Earth]], they need to wear a [[Methane Tank|methane gas tank]]. When Grunts are in battle, they may run low on their supply of methane, so they must have a ready supply nearby if required. These tanks contain the ready supply of Methane Gas the Unggoy need.
 
They are short and round in shape, purple in color and have a large blue valve on the top. The Methane Tanks are seen generally where Grunts are operating. The tanks are also highly explosive due to their methane content.

A Battlefield Methane tank.

Battlefield methane tanks are used by Covenant Unggoy to spare additional methane for their personal gas tanks.

The Unggoy's homeworld, Balaho, is a methane-rich planet, and as such, they breathe methane gas. Thus, when they are in an oxygen-rich atmosphere, like that of the Halo installations or Earth, they need to wear a methane gas tank. When Unggoy are in battle, they may run low on their supply of methane, so they must have a ready supply nearby if required. These tanks contain the ready supply of methane gas the Unggoy need.

They are short and round in shape, purple in color and have a large blue valve on the top. The methane tanks are seen generally where Unggoy operate. The tanks are also highly explosive due to their methane content.

Trivia

  • If the blue "X" pattern on the tank is shot at it will ignite and burn for a while before exploding.
  • A different version of the battlefield methane tank appears in Halo: Reach. It is highly explosive and leaks gas when it is about to explode. It is capable of simultaneously refilling the methane tanks of four Unggoy.
