In [[2526]], HAVOKs were used during [[Operation: SILENT STORM]]. In particular, they were used alongside [[octanitrocubane|octas]] during the attack on the planet [[Zhoist]] and the [[Ring of Mighty Abundence]] in orbit. During part of the attack, Spartan-II [[Blue Team]] used two HAVOKs to destroy the under-construction [[Covenant supercarrier]] ''[[Hammer of Faith]]''.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'''</ref> | |||

During the [[Requiem Campaign]], [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s Covenant stole at least seven HAVOK-class warheads from the UNSC. During a raid on the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, the Covenant planted one HAVOK in the ship's Server Room, and six more throughout the Engine Room. The HAVOKs were equipped with [[active camouflage]] to hide them from the ship's sensors. However, [[Fireteam Crimson]] was able to locate and disarm all the HAVOKs before they could be detonated.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', Episodes ''Scattered'' & ''Invasion''</ref> | During the [[Requiem Campaign]], [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s Covenant stole at least seven HAVOK-class warheads from the UNSC.

In [[2558]], an old repurposed HAVOK given to them by the [[New Colonial Alliance]] was used by people of [[Carrow]] to power their emergency bunker. During the [[Battle of Carrow]], the HAVOK's core was used as part of a makeshift [[EMP]] weapon to disrupt the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]]'s control of the ''[[vertex]]'' and through it the [[Sharquoi]]. After Governor [[Ellis Gass]] took the ''vertex'' for herself, she drew the Sharqoui back inside their hive and detonated the HAVOK, destroying the hive, the hundreds of thousands of Sharquoi inside and part of the nearby city of [[Suraka]]. Later scans by the [[UNSC frigate]] {{UNSCShip|Welcome to the Snipehunt}} confirmed that the HAVOK appeared to have taken out all of the Sharquoi, though plans were made to keep an eye on the nearby desert in case any escaped before the blast.<ref>'''[[Halo: | In [[2558]], an old repurposed HAVOK given to them by the [[New Colonial Alliance]] was used by people of [[Carrow]] to power their emergency bunker.
