A '''fusion core''', also known as the '''fusion coil''', is a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] ground container for [[plasma|superheated plasma]]. As such, their contents are highly radioactive and volatile. The container is made primarily out of glass and aluminum, and has been jokingly described as the "safest, most intelligent way to transport and store highly explosive compressed plasma energy".<ref name="bwu-12345">[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12345 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update 04/06/2007'']</ref>

The fusion core is similar to the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[plasma battery]], but can be detonated with fewer shots.

Several shots from any weapon can detonate these volatile cores. The explosion is a bloom of yellow and red superheated gas and sparks.

In [[multiplayer]], players often may attempt to lay an ambush for a hostile near a core by tossing a [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|Fragmentation Grenade]] towards the core when the enemy forays near. Alternatively, they can be pushed from above onto passing enemies, exploding on impact with the ground, or used as anti-vehicle landmines at vehicle choke points. They have also been used for [[Explosive Jumping]] and in [[Forge]] to create [[Forge/Tricks#Instant Respawn|perpetual explosions]].
