The Disruptor is a technique in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is the result of charging the Annihilator Beam. The Disruptor is a large explosive blast which does not home in on targets, but offers a large blast radius and stuns enemies. It is interesting to note that the charged shot will destroy a War Wasp Hive, but will not dispatch the shell of a Brizgee; under normal circumstances, both are destroyed by the use of a Missile. It is also strange that a charged shot will not activate a Light Portal shielded by a Safe Zone. This should not be confused with the Sonic Boom, the Annihilator's Charge Combo.
