The '''Orgudam Workshop Firebomb'''{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} {{Type|3|Antipersonnel/Antimaterial Incendiary Grenade|A/AIG}} is an [[Incendiary weapon|incendiary]] [[grenade]] developed by the [[Jiralhanae]].{{Ref/Reuse|bnetfirebomb}}{{Ref/Reuse|vis}} The weapon is often colloquially shortened to other nicknames such as '''Incendiary Grenade''', '''Firebomb''', and '''Flame Grenade'''.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc09|Enc09|Page=333}} In some usage, the weapon is nicknamed a '''Molotov'''.{{Ref/Reuse|bnetfirebomb}}

==Overview==
==Design details==
===Design details===
===Specifications===
The Firebomb is a multi-purposed infantry explosives munition, and can be thrown 10 meters by the average soldier. The [[incendiary gel]] 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&nbsp;°C (3992&nbsp;°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/Reuse|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. The Jiralhanae have, however, employed variants that burn for longer.{{Ref/Reuse|vis}} The flame emitted by the grenade is so intense, it is potentially hazardous to a human retina.{{Ref/Reuse|bnetfirebomb}}

The toxic nature of caesium renders human flesh inedible to Jiralhanae.{{Ref/Reuse|vis}}


===Development history===
===Development history===
The Firebomb was first developed by the Jiralhanae on their homeworld, [[Doisac]].{{Ref/Reuse|vis}} It was originally designed by [[Orgudam Workshop]] with an emphasis on its potential psychological impact alongside any material damage dealt,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} though by the final months of [[2552]] sole production of the weapon had been shifted to the [[Sacred Promissory]]—an organisation within the [[Covenant]] tasked by the [[Prophet of Truth]] with construction of weapons for the Brutes.{{Ref/Reuse|vis}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
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]].


Jiralhanae flame grenades were frequently captured by [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel during the [[Human-Covenant War]], though the [[human]] troops were generally hesitant to use them due to their experiences at the receiving end of Brute-thrown Firebombs.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}} However, the grenade was one of many pieces of equipment detailed in the report ''[[Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|bnetfirebomb}}
==Tactics==
===Campaign===
*The Incendiary Grenade is very effective against the Flood, even if the grenade only contacted the ground they are standing on.
**It can kill up to three [[Flood combat form]]s or [[Flood pure form]]s in a close group.
**They are also useful against large swarms of [[Flood infection form|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.  
*The Incendiary Grenade is the only grenade that can "stick" on to [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s and [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|War Chieftain]]s, so use them if necessary.
*The Incendiary Grenade has no detonation time, and will burst into flame when it comes into contact with anything, so make sure you won't be throwing it at a wall in front of you.

''"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 [[Doisac|Brutonia]] or something bad happened."''
The incendiary grenade appears in ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST''. The incendiary grenade has no detonation time, so it will ignite instantly when coming into contact with either enemies or structures.  


In campaign, they are typically carried and used by [[Jiralhanae Stalker]]s. Firebombs generate a small explosion if shot while active and in any occasion, instead of a pool of fire. They must be ignited prior to impacting a surface to create the pool of fire. The incendiary grenade is the only grenade that can "stick" on to [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s and [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|War Chieftain]]s. This feature makes the grenade arguably one of the most effective ways to deal with Chieftains; however they will have no effect when used against Chieftains with active [[Invincibility]]. The incendiary grenade is very effective against the Flood, even if the grenade only contacted the ground they are standing on; one can kill up to three [[Flood combat form]]s or [[Flood pure form]]s in a close group, even ones as large as Tank forms. Furthermore, when stuck to a [[Flood carrier form]], the resulting fire will burn it completely, and it won't release any pod infectors as a result.
''"[[Jiralhanae|Baby Kongs]] use 'em exclusively as AP grenades. Kongs tend to capture or abandon material more often than they deny it."''


In multiplayer, killing someone with this grenade will award the player with the [[Incineration Medal]]. 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]].
''"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."''


==Production notes==
== Trivia ==
There were three potential designs for an incendiary grenade of Jiralhanae origin during the development of ''[[Halo 2]]''. The first design's main body has a grid pattern that glows red-orange when the grenade is active, with an elongated handle with wrapping; this likely became [[Cut Halo 2 weapons#Brute Grenade|the cut ''Halo 2'' iteration]] of the [[Jovokada Workshop spike grenade|spike grenade]]. The second resembled the final ''Halo 3'' design of the firebomb, featuring an iridescent glass center and chromed ends with probes that emit flares after being thrown. The third design resembled a large bone, with cast-aluminum finish and caps on either end that emit sparks and light when the grenade is thrown.{{Ref/Book|AoH|Page=115}}
*The Jiralhanae will avoid consuming their enemies whom had been exposed to the Caesium mixture due to its toxicity.<ref name="vis"/>
*Killing someone in multiplayer with this grenade will award the player with the [[Incineration Medal]].
*Its function is very similar to a [[wikipedia:Molotov Cocktail|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 (level)|The Ark]]'', ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]'', ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]'' and ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|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.
