It is used as both a mine and a satchel-charge type bomb. The arming fuse can be set for five, ten, or fifteen seconds, and, since inside it's packed with 6.8 kg of [[C-7]], it has a colossal area of devastating effect. The magnetic attachment device ensures that it will adhere to a vehicle which passes over it. It is used exclusively in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'' multiplayer matches, and is not featured in any campaigns or in any novels.
