# Skulls And Sandwiches Cause Shock Damage On Destruction

Details regarding the shock explosions triggered by the destruction of Generic Skulls and Sandwich objects.

In Halo Infinite, specific items such as the Generic Skull (also known as the Oddball) and various Sandwich objects exhibit unique properties upon being destroyed. These objects release a shock explosion effect similar to that of the Shock Fusion Coil when their health reaches zero.

## Explosion Mechanics and Property Inheritance

The shock explosion triggered on death is a property tied to the Generic Skull/Oddball object. Other items, such as the Normal Sandwich and Mythic Sandwich, inherit this ability because they are built upon the properties of the Oddball.

### Inherited Shock Effects in Sandwiches

When these objects are destroyed, they release an energy discharge akin to the Shock Fusion Coil's effect.

## Destruction Methods and Health Management

The default health for the Generic Skull, Normal Sandwich, and Mythic Sandwich is 10,000. There are several ways these objects can be destroyed:

* **Natural Means:** High-velocity impacts or bullet impacts from weaponry.
* **Scripting:** Using the [Damage Object](/scripting/nodes/objects/damage-object.md) node to manually reduce an object's health via logic.

{% hint style="info" %}
The [Set Object Health](/scripting/nodes/objects/set-object-health.md) node can be used during scripting to lower the default 10,000 health value, making objects easier for players to destroy using gunfire.
{% endhint %}
