The '''GBU-1105 bomb''', nicknamed the '''"cryo bomb"''', is an air-dropped weapon in service with the [[United Nations Space Command]] armed forces. It makes use of an unconventional payload that when released is capable of freezing a small area and doing great damage to personnel and equipment in its blast radius. It is typically dropped by a [[B-65 Shortsword]] bomber.

The cryo bomb can freeze even {{Pattern|Deutoros|Scarab}}s in their tracks and severely weakens their armor, allowing them to be shattered.<ref>[http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41104.html '''Gametrailers''']</ref> Although the cryo bomb may freeze ground units, its best effect is that most air units caught in the blast will freeze and crash into the ground instantly; however, a UNSC [[AC-220 Vulture]] can maintain flight but will stay low to the ground until the effect wears off, unless it has taken sufficient damage prior to the cryo bomb's impact, in which case it will be destroyed.<ref name = "Gamereactor">2008-04-11, [http://www.gamereactor.no/grtv/?id=3396&sid=5bb9748a525446234980eb00694fb89a TGS08: Halo Wars Gameplay Presentation].

==Gameplay==
===''Halo Wars''===
If a production building like a [[UNSC Barracks|Barracks]] or [[UNSC Supply Pad|Supply Pad]] is caught within the cryo bomb's range, the building will cease production for the period of time, or in the Supply Pad's case, incoming supplies will stop. It can be requested only if [[Ellen Anders]] is the selected [[Hero Units|hero unit]]. The cryo bomb can be enhanced three times from the [[UNSC Field Armory|Field Armory]] to make its effect last longer and to increase the number of air units capable of being destroyed. The cryo bomb is best used when a player wants to freeze their opponent's aircraft and uber units. This leader power must be backed up with troops because unless the units are heavily damaged, this attack will not kill them. In campaign mode along with working well against Covenant air units, its highly effective against the [[Flood]] too. While a cryo bomb won't kill them, it freezes the Flood in place, opening them up to a brief unimpeded attack before they unfreeze.
 
===''Halo Wars 2''===
In ''Halo Wars 2'' the cryo bomb is a leader power exclusive to [[Serina]]. Like its ''Halo Wars'' counterpart the cryo bomb has three upgrades and does not kill units. Unlike its ''Halo Wars'' counterpart it will not cause aircraft to shatter. Instead players must cause extra damage before the enemy unit will shatter.
