The '''Energy Disruptor''' is a [[UNSC]] device that disables [[Covenant]] plasma weapons and energy shields. It has been seen in use by [[Headhunters (Team)|Headhunter]] teams. It functions almost identically to the Covenant [[Power Drain]] and was most likely reverse-engineered by [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]], using the same technology. The technology is in a prototype stage and were tested in the field by the [[Spartan-III]] [[Headhunters (Team)|Headhunter]] team.
The '''Energy Disruptor''' is a [[UNSC]] device that has been said to be reverse engineered from the [[Power Drain]]<ref>Halo Evolutions Volume I, page 226<ref>.  It deactivates both standard electronics and the plasma based weapons and energy shielding of the [[Covenant]]<ref>Halo Evolutions Volume I, page 226<ref>, which have been noted to be very sturdy pieces of technology by UNSC soldiers. However it executes its effect, it seems to be easily blocked by any amount of cover, as evidenced when the [[SPARTAN-III]] [[Jonah]] waited just outside a Covenant barraks while the Energy Disruptor did its work.<ref>Halo Evolutions Volume I, page 229</ref>


If the Energy Disruptor was reverse-engineered from the Power Drain, it has most probably been heavily improved, as is the case with most of ONI's reverse-engineered Covenant technology. An example of this is the Covenant's energy shield technology, which was improved by [[Project MJOLNIR]]. Given the fact that it can disable plasma weapons, (a feature not utilized by the Energy Drain) this is most likely the case.  
==Mechanics==
The most likely method that this device uses is a demagnetization effect, exuded in a single pulse, which would cause high damage to electronics and disable Covenant [[Plasma Weaponry]]. It would do so by disabling their ability to utilize magnetic fields, which shape and contain their projectiles.
