==Description==
The Type-3 Incendiary Grenade is a multi-purposed infantry explosives munition, and can be thrown 10 meters by the average soldier. The filling contains pyrophoric alkali metal Caesium chemical compound, a stable yet hazardous chemical compound that was developed by the [[Jiralhanae]]. Upon impact with a hard surface, the casing converts to liquid form, burning at around 2200 °C (3992 °F), and causing significant damage to vehicles and infantry alike, automatically killing all nearby infantry in a 4.7 meter (15.5 foot) radius.<ref name="vis"/> The stable caesium mixture filler also escapes from the burning casing, splashing over nearby objects and causing significant damage as it burns for 4.5 seconds.

==History==
While exploring the geological composition of their harsh homeworld [[Doisac]], the Brutes developed a hazardous yet stable chemical compound using the pyrophoric alkali metal Caesium.  


== Mechanisms==
===Development history===
When the Caesium mixture meets oxygen,it quickly ignites and burns at 2200 Celsius (3992 Farenheit).  
The Type-3 Incendiary Grenade was first developed by the Jiralhanae on their homeworld, [[Doisac]]. The [[Sacred Promissory]] took over the grenade's development and production and started manufacturing several months prior to the [[Great Schism|breaking of the Covenant Empire]].


==Toxicity==
Ironically for the Brutes, using these grenades prevents them from consuming their enemies as the Caesium mixture is a toxic substance. <ref> '''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''pg 68''</ref>

"It sure don't seem like it was meant for burnin' material, seems more like it was meant for burnin' personnel."
— Anonymous E2-BAG/1/7 serviceman

The Type-3 Antipersonnel/Antimaterial Incendiary Grenade[1][2], colloquially known as the "Firebomb" or "Flame Grenade," is a grenade used by the Jiralhanae.

Design details

Specifications

The Type-3 Incendiary Grenade is a multi-purposed infantry explosives munition, and can be thrown 10 meters by the average soldier. The filling contains pyrophoric alkali metal Caesium chemical compound, a stable yet hazardous chemical compound that was developed by the Jiralhanae. Upon impact with a hard surface, the casing converts to liquid form, burning at around 2200 °C (3992 °F), and causing significant damage to vehicles and infantry alike, automatically killing all nearby infantry in a 4.7 meter (15.5 foot) radius.[3] The stable caesium mixture filler also escapes from the burning casing, splashing over nearby objects and causing significant damage as it burns for 4.5 seconds.

Development history

The Type-3 Incendiary Grenade was first developed by the Jiralhanae on their homeworld, Doisac. The Sacred Promissory took over the grenade's development and production and started manufacturing several months prior to the breaking of the Covenant Empire.

Quotes

The following are observations of the Type-3 Incendiary Grenade from servicemen of the UNSC Marine Corps unit E2-BAG/1/7.

"The filler seems to be a liquid or a gel or something; it dissipates pretty rapidly under water—I don't know how it would behave in hard vacuum."

"It doesn't burn under water, unless it's already on something and burning. A "thermite", otherwise heat, grenade will burn under water and that crap has been around forever. Hey, is it just me or does Brute tech seem to be all over the map? Either there's no info sharing on Brutonia or something bad happened."

"Baby Kongs use 'em exclusively as AP grenades. Kongs tend to capture or abandon material more often than they deny it."

"None of the other alien foxtrots use 'em. Either the bravo kilos don't trust 'em with 'em or the rest of 'em ain't as keen on burnin' folk as kilos are."

Trivia

  • The Jiralhanae will avoid consuming their enemies whom had been exposed to the Caesium mixture due to its toxicity.[3]
  • Killing someone in multiplayer with this grenade will award the player with the Incineration Medal.
  • In campaign, it is a very effective weapon against the Flood. It can kill up to three Flood Combat Forms or Flood Pure Forms in a close group. They are also useful against large swarms of Infection Forms. When stuck to a Flood Carrier Form, the resulting fire will burn thoroughly and not release any Flood Infection Forms from the Carrier. It also sticks to Brute Chieftains and War Chieftains, burning them.
  • Its function is very similar to a Molotov Cocktail. For this reason, players sometimes refer to the Incendiary Grenade with names such as, "Anti-Water Balloon", "Satan's Grenade", "Lava Can", and/or "The Cocktail".
  • Even though Incendiary Grenade is the proper name, it is referred to as the "Firebomb Grenade" in the game.
  • It only appears in four Halo 3 campaign levels, The Ark, The Covenant, Cortana and Halo.
  • It does not appear by default on any Multiplayer map, nor does it regenerate using the "Grenade regeneration" option. They are only available if they have been previously added in Forge.
  • Firebombs generate a small explosion if shot while active and in any occasion in Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST Campaign, instead of a pool of fire. They must be ignited prior to impacting a surface to create the pool of fire.
