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 and disintegrating them should they die.<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]].<ref name="bulletin92612"/>
