The Covenant bomb only appears in select [[Invasion]] gametypes, in which the gametype is set so that the [[Sangheili|Elite]] players are on the offense and the objective is [[assault]]. In this mode, the Elites have to deliver a bomb to a predetermined site, in which the bomb serves as the Covenant equivalent to the UNSC [[Type 14 Magnetic/Anti-Tank Mine|Assault bomb]]. The bomb produces a massive plasma detonation capable of shattering [[UNSC]] [[blast door]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Invasion}} | The Covenant bomb only appears in select [[Invasion]] gametypes, in which the gametype is set so that the [[Sangheili|Elite]] players are on the offense and the objective is [[assault]].
