Elerium 115 is used as ammunition for craft weapons, specifically the [[Rendor Plasma Gun (Apocalypse)|Rendor Plasma Gun]], [[Lineage Plasma Cannon (Apocalypse)|Lineage Plasma Cannon]] and [[Plasma Multi-System (Apocalypse)|Plasma Multi-System]]. It can be purchased on the market and has no image of its own.
 
 
 
Elerium Pods are found in the battlescape while raiding corporate buildings such as slums and large flyer factories. However, at the end of combat, Elerium Pods will be broken down to 150 units of Elerium-115, and carried as cargo rather than by the agent who initially picked it up. At base price, the value of one Elerium Pod is therefore $3,000. This also means that the craft on site requires a non-zero cargo capacity for looting Elerium to be worthwhile.

Elerium Pods are found in every building within Mega-Primus except Cult Of Sirius' Temples, when raiding. All elerium pods which have been acquired (picked up by an agent or recovered at successful completion of the raid) will become 150 units of Elerium-115 immediately at mission end, which will then become cargo (a cargo module must be present on the vehicle which carried your troops to the building for raiding).
