The '''Eklon'Dal Workshop Support Wagon''' is a vehicle in the [[Death Wagon]] lineage of ground vehicles developed by the [[Jiralhanae]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=465}} The support wagon is colloquially known as the "'''Methane Wagon'''", having been modified (without authorisation) by [[Yapyap|Yapyap the Destroyer]] to utilise [[methane]]


The '''Methane Wagon''' is a modified version of the [[Shadow]].{{Ref/Reuse|PL1}}
==Overview==
 
===Design details===
==Design details==
It is an unstable, slow, and rickety modified version of the Shadow created by [[Unggoy]]. It has a parking brake made of a chunk of wood. The methane will detonate violently when its structural integrity is compromised due to the volatile infusion-enriched methane stored on it.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}
===Overview===
The Death Wagon was manufactured by [[Eklon War-Forges]] and developed by the Eklon'dal workshop.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]}} It is an unstable, slow, and rickety modified version of the Shadow created by [[Unggoy]]. It has a parking brake made of a chunk of wood. The methane will detonate violently when its structural integrity is compromised due to the volatile infusion-enriched methane stored on it.{{Ref/Reuse|PL1}}


===Armament and support===
===Armament and support===
The vehicle emits a [[Methane]] aura, clouds of infusion-enriched methane, that makes nearby Unggoy aggressive. The wagon can also catapult kegs of methane that release enriched gas clouds of the infusion-enriched methane.{{Ref/Reuse|PL1}}

In [[2559]], when [[Yapyap]] [[Yapyap's rebellion|rebelled]] against the [[Banished]] during their [[Second Ark Conflict|battle]] with the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} on [[Installation 00]], Yapyap had a few Death Wagons under his control, hoping to upgrade them.{{Ref/Reuse|PL1}}

Death Wagons are exclusive to [[Yapyap]] and can be made at [[Banished outpost]]s once the leader power has unlocked them. They perform poorly against infantry, vehicles, aircraft, and structures as they primarily buff allied Grunt units and debuff enemies. They will also explode upon destruction, causing damage to nearby enemy units. In [[Blitz]], Death Wagons cost 70 energy. Despite being rated poorly against enemy units, Death Wagons will typically outperform [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Marauder|Marauder]]s due to their buffs and debuffs.
