The most commonly used thrown explosive in our arsenal is a flexible and powerful plasma device. Intelligent-adherence quality rewards accurate thrower, and has proven itself especially useful when attempting to halt or destroy human vehicles. It adheres firmly to Human epidermal layers. It's slow fuse allows thrower three seconds to retreat from blast radius. | The most commonly used thrown explosive in our arsenal is a flexible and powerful plasma device.

Great Council: Human weapons are primitive, mostly chemical and projectile in nature, but some are effective nonetheless. Our reliance on and expectation of energy based weapons means that we may need to adjust our strategy when faced with the humans' devices. However, the simplistic nature of human weapons makes them open to analysis. Covenant weapons are always superior, but when faced with a choice of wielding no weapon or a human weapon, our forces should acquire the nearest weapon at hand - even if human. A basic understanding of how these primitive weapons work is important so that we may use these weapons to our advantage. | Great Council: Human weapons are primitive, mostly chemical and projectile in nature, but some are effective nonetheless.
