The ''Pool of Radiance'' is a [[special weapons|special weapon]] that can be found in the campaign mission ''[[Reunion]]''.


Available as an Ultra Rare Level 5 [[Requisition system|REQ]] worth 150 REQ Points when sold, the ''Pool of Radiance'' operates exactly identically to a normal Fuel Rod Cannon, except that its projectiles are armed with a proximity airburst fuse. More importantly, the ''Pool of Radiance'' does more damage as its projectiles explode three times upon impact instead of once, making this weapon deadly against slow-moving targets and anyone who lingers in the fuel rods' explosion area in a radius of up to 4.05 m (13.29 ft). Its explosions are larger, at 7.1 m (23.3 ft). In addition, the weapon can carry up to 20 fuel rods at once. These improvements make the ''Pool of Radiance'' the most powerful of the three Fuel Rod Cannon variants.

However, to balance out the effects of its improvements, the weapon now has a 40% lower rate of fire.
However, to balance out the effects of its improvements, the weapon now has a 40% lower rate of fire. In addition, the player must be careful to not use the weapon in close range, as they can be either severely harmed or killed by the explosions. This is especially important in the campaign mission ''Reunion'', as the ''Pool of Radiance'', like with other Fuel Rod Cannons, can still kill a campaign player character and make them unrevivable until their next respawn.


In [[Warzone]], many Legendary [[Sangheili|Elite]] bosses use the ''Pool of Radiance'', including [[Sangheili Prime|Elite Primes]] and [[Sangheili Ranger Commander|Ranger Commanders]].
