Infusion matter consists of a series of energetic meta-materials and strained bond lattices, and is considered a perfected form of the [[incendiary gel]] material developed by the [[Covenant]] in imitation of infusion.{{Ref/Reuse|II}} The substance was employed by the Forerunners in their power systems{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} and pumped throughout megastructures such as [[Installation 00]] to keep the vast systems functioning.{{Ref/Site|Id=II|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/infusion-invasion|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Community Update - Infusion Invasion|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Game|Id=PLVoridus|HW2|[[ | Infusion matter consists of a series of energetic meta-materials and strained bond lattices, and is considered a perfected form of the [[incendiary gel]] material developed by the [[Covenant]] in imitation of infusion.{{Ref/Reuse|II}} The substance was employed by the Forerunners in their power systems{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} and pumped throughout megastructures such as [[Installation 00]] to keep the vast systems functioning.{{Ref/Site|Id=II|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/infusion-invasion|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Community Update - Infusion Invasion|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Game|Id=PLVoridus|HW2|[[Phoenix_Logs#Banished|Phoenix Logs]] - Voridus}} | ||

During the [[Second Ark Conflict]], Voridus prototyped the weaponization of infusion gel for his own ends, though his less-successful recreations resulted in the creation of an extremely corrosive mutagenic sludge. Despite this, Voridus and [[Clan of the Long Shields|his clan]] were quick to put this new technology into effect among a number of new weapon systems.{{Ref/Reuse|PLVoridus}}{{Ref/Reuse|II}} | During the [[Second Ark Conflict]], Voridus prototyped the weaponization of infusion gel for his own ends, though his less-successful recreations resulted in the creation of an extremely corrosive mutagenic sludge.

Voridus' applications of infusion gel include powerful explosives, [[Infusion Mine|land mines]] and targeted bombing runs, and use of the gel as filler in various weapon systems. The Long Shields clan's own-developed "[[Terror Wraith]]" employs infusion gel to augment its [[plasma mortar]] system{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=469}}, with a similar suite of modifications available for the clan's [[Volatile Scarab]]s.{{Ref/Game|HW2|[[ | Voridus' applications of infusion gel include powerful explosives, [[Infusion Mine|land mines]] and targeted bombing runs, and use of the gel as filler in various weapon systems.

Certain Jiralhanae, particularly the more extreme examples of the Brutes' savagery, are often employed by the Long Shields to serve in the clan's vanguard as [[Jiralhanae Grenadier|grenadiers]]. These soldiers' prolonged exposure to infusion rots and [[Scarred Grenadiers|scars]] their bodies over time, due to their prolonged usage of specialised [[infusion grenade launcher]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|II}}{{Ref/Game|HW2|[[ | Certain Jiralhanae, particularly the more extreme examples of the Brutes' savagery, are often employed by the Long Shields to serve in the clan's vanguard as [[Jiralhanae Grenadier|grenadiers]].

Similar effects can be observed in [[Huragok]] as the result of extended exposure to infusion. Voridus' experiments with infusion gel altered his Huragok assistants, causing some to simply fall apart while the rest have been changed in other—more subtle—ways. These "damaged" Engineers were shunned by their healthy companions and displayed distinctly non-Huragok behaviours, such as a lack of interest in repairing Forerunner machinery and sabotaging equipment of Banished who had annoyed them in the past.{{Ref/Game|HW2|[[ | Similar effects can be observed in [[Huragok]] as the result of extended exposure to infusion.

Outside of the war on the Ark, the Banished [[Veporokk Workshop Ravager]] is another weapon developed on the basis of infusion. When charged, the weapon can fire a single powerful infusion bolt, though a [[Ravager Rebound|unique variant]] produced by the [[Armory of Reckoning (location)|Armory of Reckoning]] injects additional high-viscosity packets of infusion matter - allowing its [[plasma]] projectiles to bounce off surfaces.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=477}} | Outside of the war on the Ark, the Banished [[Veporokk Workshop Ravager]] is another weapon developed on the basis of infusion.
