Methane tank: Difference between revisions

Methane tanks are back mounted, moderately large, and resemble small fuel tanks of modern trucks. When they are of the large variety, they provide a place for the creatures to breathe their [[methane]] atmosphere outside of their suits. Thus, Unggoy remove their suits when entering the huge methane filled tank, as they are not needed.<ref name="beer"/> On the battlefield, Unggoy use portable [[methane recharge station]]s to refill their methane supplies.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref>

The Covenant allow Unggoy to use various types of methane chambers when they are not in battle. There is a main chamber for the Unggoy to reside in and a smaller chamber in front where the Unggoy can change into and out of their suits.<ref name="beer"/> These structures often have posted guards to prevent the creatures inside from being caught off guard, and airlocks on their entrances.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 61''</ref> A number of different types of methane chamber exist, the [[atmosphere pit]], which is a more temporary, ground-based version, and the [[methane suite]], a ship-board variant.
