Satchel Charge
From Halopedia, the Halo Wiki
- "Copy that. Somebody get a satchel on the gate!"
- —Sergeant Avery J. Johnson
The Satchel Charge is a United Nations Space Command ground explosive.
[edit] Usage
Marines use satchel charges to clear large, reinforced doors, or obstacles out of the way, although they are also often used as offensive weapons to dislodge dug-in enemy troops. They contain C9 plastic explosive and can penetrate through half a meter of Titanium-A.
Spartan-IIs Vinh-030 and Isaac-039 used satchel charges, during the Battle of Reach to hold back the Covenant entering ONI's CASTLE Base and allow the others time to retreat further into the base; however, they disappeared in the blast and were presumed dead.
It may be standard equipment for UNSC Marines.
[edit] Appearances
- Outskirts - Sergeant Johnson orders a Marine to set a satchel charge to break through a gate that is impeding their incursion. The charge is never used, as a Hunter pair bashes through from the other side of the gate and attacks.
- Metropolis - One charge can be found next to a dead Marine on the way out of the first Amphitheater. A Rocket Launcher is also lying beside the corpse.
