'''Explosive | '''Explosive Jumping''' is a trick where the player jumps over an explosive force, typically one of their own creation. The explosive force propels the player upward, increasing the height of their jump and allowing them to reach higher places. [[Grenade]] jumping is the most common form of this trick. | ||

The most common method of explosive jumping involves grenades or the [[ | The most common method of explosive jumping involves grenades or the [[Rocket Launcher]]. All a player has to do is look down and cause the explosion, jumping as it occurs. In the case of a grenade (''grenade jumping''), the player must simply throw a grenade down in front of them, and jump over it right as it explodes. If using the Rocket Launcher, the player should fire a rocket while they are already in the air and crouch jump (to avoid being killed by the resulting blast). | ||

In ''Halo 3'', [[ | In ''Halo 3'', [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenades]] are easier to use, but [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|Frag Grenades]] allow for a higher jump. The [[Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade|Spike Grenade]] is not recommended, as its explosion goes upward and it will likely kill the player. In ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''Halo 3'', an [[Overshield]] can allow for simultaneous use of both grenades and rockets, giving a more explosive result (and a potentially higher jump). | ||
In [[Campaign]], [[skull]]s can be used to further boost the height of an explosive jump. In ''Halo 2'', the height of the already-boosted jump can be increased with the [[Halo 2 | In [[Campaign]], [[skull]]s can be used to further boost the height of an explosive jump. In ''Halo 2'', the height of the already-boosted jump can be increased with the [[Halo 2 Skulls#Sputnik|Sputnik Skull]]; in ''Halo 3'', the [[Halo 3 Skulls#Cowbell|Cowbell Skull]] can do the same by increasing the power of the blast. Care should be taken when using the Cowbell Skull, as if the jump is not timed right, the increased splash damage can kill players. | ||

First, push one or two of the [[Fusion | First, push one or two of the [[Fusion core|Fusion Coils]] over to the "target" and jump on top of one of them. Note that without an Overshield, three Fusion Coils will kill you. Then, jump and about half a second after you tap the jump button, shoot the fusion coils. The resulting explosion will propel you into the air. | ||

The trick can be performed with one crate, but multiple crates work better. Stand on top of the exploding cylindrical crate(s) and throw a grenade. If done right, your body should be blown pretty far into the air. | ||

Proper execution of the trick can result in a very high "jump". | ||
