===Overview=== | |||
The Death Wagon was manufactured by [[Eklon War-Forges]] and developed by the Eklon'dal workshop.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]}} It is an unstable, slow, and rickety modified version of the Shadow created by [[Unggoy]]. It has a parking brake made of a chunk of wood. The methane will detonate violently when its structural integrity is compromised due to the volatile infusion-enriched methane stored on it.{{Ref/Reuse|PL1}} | |||

The vehicle emits a [[Methane]] aura, clouds of infusion-enriched methane, that makes nearby Unggoy aggressive. The wagon can also catapult kegs of methane that release enriched gas clouds of the infusion-enriched methane.{{Ref/Reuse| | The vehicle emits a [[Methane]] aura, clouds of infusion-enriched methane, that makes nearby Unggoy aggressive.

Methane Wagons are exclusive to [[Yapyap]] and can be made at [[Banished outpost]]s once the leader power has unlocked them. They perform poorly against infantry, vehicles, aircraft, and structures as they primarily buff allied Grunt units and debuff enemies. They will also explode upon destruction, causing damage to nearby enemy units. In [[Blitz]], Methane Wagons cost 70 energy. Despite being rated poorly against enemy units, Methane Wagons will typically outperform [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Marauder]]s due to their buffs and debuffs. | |||
===Pro and Cons=== | |||
====Pro==== | |||
*Useful to buff up Grunt units. | |||
*Can be utilized as a suicide vehicle due to damage dealing upon destruction. | |||
*Methane can slow down and deal damage to enemies. | |||
==== | ====Cons==== | ||
*Weak fighting strength | |||
*Only useful when with a group of Grunts. | |||
