Gas container



The Forerunner's mining facilities use Gas Containers to move the volatile gases from location to location within the facility. They can explode if exposed to weapons fire or an explosion in their immediate vicinity.The gases in these containers are of a blue and pink/purple color. You can use these to kill Heretic forces on the level The Arbiter. The also appear on the Multiplayer level Colossus. The gas inside these containers is possibly methane because if you're not careful it can explode and it looks to be the same gas inside the Grunts rebreathers.

The gas could also be a possible fuel used to power the station and the containment shields of the Flood perimeter.
