| 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==
| | {{Quote|“It doesn’t burn under water—unless it’s already on something and burning. A thermite grenade will burn under water and that crap has been around forever.

| ===Design details===
| | |
| 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 °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/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}} | | It is a multipurposed infantry explosives munition, and can be thrown 10 meters (32.8 feet) by the average soldier. Upon impact with a hard surface, the casing converts to liquid form, burning at 2200 °C (3992 °F) and causing significant damage to vehicles or infantry alike, automatically killing all nearby infantry in a 3.4 meter (8 foot) radius. The gel-like filler substance also escapes from the burning casing, splashing over nearby objects and causing significant damage as it burns for 4.5 seconds. |

| ===Development history===
| | It can also be used to create a "wall of flame" that restricts enemy movement in the area. |
| 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}}

| 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}}

| == UNSC Remarks == | | == 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 [[Doisac|Brutonia]] or something bad happened."''
| |
| :*''"[[Jiralhanae|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."''

| == In-game information ==
| | The following are observations of the Type-3 Incendiary Grenade from servicemen of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] unit [[E2-BAG/1/7]]. |
| 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.
| | *"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." |
|
| |
|
| 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]].
| | *"It doesn't burn under water--unless it's already on something and burning. A thermite 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." |
|

|
| ==Production notes==
| | *"Baby Kongs use 'em exclusively as eh pea grenades. Actually Kongs tend to capture or abandon materiel more often than they deny it. " |
| 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}}
