*'''Signal Flare:''' "smokers" are used to alert allies of a friendly's position. They utilize thick, green smoke.
Like [[signal flare]]s, the smoke grenades are used for a variety and diversity of reasons. They are typically used to signal for pickup after a mission, or a request for an [[equipment]] drop, or even a need for emergency evacuation. Different reasons appear to have different colors of smoke attached to them; for example, blue smoke is used to signal for pickup.{{Ref/Reuse|tfor20}}{{Ref/Novel|TFoR|Chapter=22}} A type of training smoke grenade was commonly carried by [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] and the [[Battle of Mombasa]] in [[2552]].{{Ref/Level|HR|Exodus}}{{Ref/Level|HR|New Alexandria}}{{Ref/Level|HR|The Package}} Three of these grenades were typically attached to the [[ODST armor]]'s belt by attachment connectors on the canister's lid.{{Ref/Reuse|cosplay}}{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|[[Rookie]] in-game model}}{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|[[Dutch]] in-game model}}{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|[[Mickey]] in-game model}}


*'''Smoke Canister:''' These are used to signal for pickup after a mission. They create thick, blue smoke. These are also referred to as "smoke grenades."
==Production notes==
In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the serial number M45A771B is printed on the canister; since the same serial number is printed on the [[40mm grenade]] (albeit mirrored), the [[M392 DMR]], and the [[MA37 assault rifle]], it is likely all four items share the same decal sheet.
