XGBU-302 bomb
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Weapon The XGBU (Experimental Guided Bomb Unit)-302 bomb[1], also known as the "disruption bomb", was a weapon fielded by the United Nations Space Command during the Human-Covenant War.
Description
Disruption bombs were dropped from B-65 Shortsword bombers equipped with the M/RODAS delivery system. They acted in similar fashion to the smaller and later-developed power drain, emitting a blue energy field that could disrupt all electronic equipment within 3.4 kilometers of the detonation point. Each XGBU-302 weighed 1,814 kilograms.
Gameplay
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. They 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. Disruption bombs can be called in from any UNSC leader for the price of 450 supplies. They only appear in multiplayer or skirmish mode.
