The '''proximity mine''' is a [[Covenant]] [[Mine|landmine]]. The grenade has a similar appearance to a Covenant [[antimatter charge]].<ref name="hh5">'''[[Halo: Helljumper]]''', ''[[Halo: Helljumper Issue 5|Issue 5]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level, ''[[Cairo Station]]''</ref> After being set off, the mine fires a series of [[Blamite|needler projectiles]] in all directions.<ref name="hss">''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''</ref>
This '''unidentified Covenant explosive''' is a [[Covenant]] explosive device that was in use in [[2552]].<ref name="hh5">'''[[Halo: Helljumper]]''', ''[[Halo: Helljumper Issue 5|Issue 5]]''</ref> The grenade has a similar appearance to a Covenant [[antimatter charge]],<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level, ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> and may be a miniaturized form of the explosive. The explosive has only been encountered during the [[Battle of Ariel]] in early 2552. Due to the operation's archaeological nature, the explosive may be specifically intended for such purpose.


==Overview==
During the Battle of Ariel, [[Taylor Miles|Taylor "Dutch" Miles]] and [[Kojo Agu|Kojo "Romeo" Agu]] threw one of these explosives at a group of [[Grunt]]s. The Grunts, not realizing the device wasn't armed (Dutch and Romeo didn't know how to arm it without detonating it), panicked and fled into a corridor rigged with laser traps which sliced them to pieces.<ref name="hh5"/>
During [[Operation: FIRESIDE]], [[Taylor Miles]] and [[Kojo Agu]] threw one of these explosives at a group of [[Unggoy]]. The Unggoy, not realizing the device wasn't armed, panicked and fled into a corridor rigged with laser traps which sliced them to pieces.{{Ref/Reuse|hh5}}
 
==Gameplay==
The Covenant proximity mine appears as an [[armor ability]] in ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''. When deployed by the player, three mines are released at a time, while enemies drop one mine. It is the default armor ability of [[Brute Chieftain]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|hss}}
