Production notes
In a Twitter thread discussing the canonicity of the Extractor Marines and their canon status with the context of Halo, writer Jeff Easterling commented that it was "odd territory getting into draining "life force" no? Lol.", and that "Doesn't mean the weapons won't be canon necessarily, but canonical functionality could change :)", reaffirming that the weapons do not in-canon ""steal their health and give it to you"". The weapons are canon, but their function as depicted within the gameplay of Halo Wars 2 is not.
