The [[UNSC]]-issued | The [[UNSC]]-issued '''M9 HE-DP Grenade''' functions in a manner very similar to contemporary hand grenades. A blast bursts the grenade's shell open and sends thousands of small metal pieces flying at extreme speed, causing damage to energy shields and flesh in around ten meters (30ft) radius. Four may be carried at a time. An "infinite grenades" option is available in multiplayer on a single [[Xbox]], as well as in all multiplayer ''Halo'' PC games. | ||

This grenade can be bounced around corners and travels farther than the ''Plasma grenade''. It is also harder to see and has a shorter fuse, therefore making it harder to avoid and more useful for killing enemies on foot. It also seems to have a larger blast radius than a plasma grenade in Halo 1. | This grenade can be bounced around corners and travels farther than the ''Plasma grenade''.

Unlike the [[Plasma grenade]], this grenade doesn't stick to objects, making it harder to hit vehicles. Since it is harder to see, running over one by accident can happen more easily than with a luminescent plasma grenade. If tossed carelessly by the player and lands near a [[Marine]], the marine will stare at the grenade and yell and obscenity at the player such as: "Watch where you throw those things!" | |||

Use the M9 HE-DP Grenade when [[Elite]]s and [[Grunt]]s are in large or small groups as this will kill many grunts, damage elite's shields and sometimes grunts will be [[Stun|stunned]] for a short period of time making them quick work with the [[Battle Rifle]]. (Note: This tactic works extremely well on [[Cairo Station]] when enemies come out of boarding ships.) | Use the M9 HE-DP Grenade when [[Elite]]s and [[Grunt]]s are in large or small groups as this will kill many grunts, damage elite's shields and sometimes grunts will be [[Stun|stunned]] for a short period of time making them quick work with the [[Battle Rifle]].

A multipurpose [[weapon]], the fragmentation grenade can be used in corridors to flush out occupants. If lobbed under a vehicle, the explosion will either kill or severely injure the occupants. If timed correctly, grenades can be planted in the path of an oncoming vehicle. Most drivers will not be able to react quickly enough, and will most likely be caught in the blast. | A multipurpose [[weapon]], the fragmentation grenade can be used in corridors to flush out occupants.
