'''Cocooned Bases''' are a type of [[Flood]] structure present in high-level [[Flood outbreak]]s.


==Overview==
'''Cocooned Bases''' are a type of [[Flood]] structure present in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Awakening the Nightmare]] campaign. As their name suggests, they are UNSC [[Firebase]]s and Banished [[Outpost]]s that have been taken over and repurposed by the Flood. Due to the Flood growths present on the base, they resemble very little of the structures they once were and have none of the base facility's original defensive measures operational. However, Cocooned Bases are capable of spawning more Flood forms unless dealt with swiftly. Cocooned Bases are generally located deep within Flood [[Blightlands]] such as those surrounding the wreckage of [[High Charity]] on [[Installation 00]], making attacking them a costly measure unless done via [[Orbital bombardment]].<ref name="PL">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', [[Phoenix Logs#Cocooned Bases|Phoenix Log - Cocooned Bases]]</ref>

Upon destroying the base, several Flood units will continue to crawl out of the rubble. However, once they are dispensed with, the base site becomes available to construct on.<ref name="PL" />
