+The '''XGBU-302 (Experimental Guided Bomb Unit)''', also known as the "'''disruption bomb'''", is an aircraft-delivered special-purpose weapon used by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=176}}
-==Description==
+==Overview==
-Disruption Bombs are dropped from [[Shortsword-class Bomber|Shortsword Bombers]]. They act in similar fashion to [[Power Drain]]s, emitting a blue energy field.
+===Design details===
+Disruption bombs are generally dropped from [[B-65 Shortsword]] bombers equipped with the [[Maastricht/Raleigh Ordnance Delivery-Application System|M/RODAS delivery system]]. They acted in similar fashion to the much smaller [[power drain]] device, emitting a blue [[electromagnetic pulse]] energy field that disrupts all electronic equipment within {{Convert|3.4|km|mi|sp=us}} of the detonation point. The bomb weighs {{Convert|1814|kg|lb|sp=us}}.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
 ==Gameplay==
-In [[Halo Wars]], they function similarly to the Power Drain equipment from [[Halo 3]], but instead of lowering enemy shields, they temporarily prevent any leaders from using their special powers. They can halt whatever power is being used at the moment for about one minute, and prevent any others from being activated within its active radius. Disruption bombs can be called in from any UNSC leader ([[James Gregory Cutter|Captain Cutter]]/[[John Forge|Sergeant Forge]]/[[Ellen Anders|Professor Anders]]) for the price of 450 supplies. They only appear in multiplayer or skirmish mode.
