The ''' | The '''Z-040 Attenuation Field Generator/Localized'''<ref name="bulletin92612">[http://blogs.halo.xbox.com/Headlines/post/2012/09/26/The-Halo-Bulletin-92612-.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin: 9.26.12'']</ref>, also known as the '''Pulse grenade''', is a thrown Forerunner weapon that functions similarly to traditional grenades. | ||
==Overview== | |||
The Pulse grenade was used by Forerunners to cauterize Flood strongholds composed of resilient [[Flood Super Cell]] accretions which quickly develop into a [[Gravemind]].<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 102''</ref> When inert, the Pulse Grenade is a box-like device with eight pyramidal projections and glowing yellow highlights. When thrown, its yellow patches invert into orange-glowing spikes, and it creates an area of effect that damages shields and health. It is designed to clear enemies from cover. <ref name="bulletin92612"/> Upon being thrown, it forcefully detonates and forms a hazardous ionization sphere which eventually collapses, destroying nearby targets.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1rdfWjD5zU '''YouTube:''' ''Halo 4 Exile PAX 2012 CTF Gameplay!'']</ref> Its operation is similar in function to the [[Power drain]] equipment of ''Halo 3''. <ref name="bulletin92612"/> | |||
==Trivia== | |||
In the ''[[Halo 4: Official Game Guide]]'' it is mistakenly portrayed as a star-shaped device with six spikes.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: Official Game Guide]]''' (Collector's Edition), page 47</ref> In the ''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', it is shown to be a more box-like device with eight spikes. This is presumably an oversight by 343 Industries. | |||
