The spike grenade is one of two grenade types designed and used by Jiralhanae forces in the Covenant military. Unlike the more common plasma grenade, which adheres only to living targets using a layer of plasma, the Spike Grenade uses numerous razor-like quills to seemingly be able to grip to any surface including rock, glass and [[energy shielding]].{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} Notably, the [[Jiralhanae power armor|power armor]] employed by [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s is capable of repelling a spike grenade's adherent mechanisms.{{Ref/Reuse|H3}} The Spike Grenade was manufactured by the [[Sacred Promissory]] in the Covenant and [[Jovokada Foundry]] in the Banished, and both of them was developed by the Jovokada workshop. | The spike grenade is one of two grenade types designed and used by Jiralhanae forces in the Covenant military.

After collision, the grenade detonates, sending a cluster of super-heated metal spikes flying at a perpendicular trajectory to the surface the grenade has stuck to. The mechanism operates similarly to the UNSC [[M383C Linear Shaped Charge Demolition Kit]]. Upon detonation, the shrapnel emitted by the spike grenade reaches a temperature of approximately 270 to 315ºC and retains that heat for upwards of [[seven]] seconds.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} These spikes will ricochet off of hard surfaces, making the grenade a deadly weapon against enemies in confined spaces. The focused direction of the spikes renders the grenade slightly less effective in open areas. The mechanism by which the explosion of the Type-2 is directed is similar to that of the [[M383C Linear Shaped Charge Demolition Kit]]. {{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} | After collision, the grenade detonates, sending a cluster of super-heated metal spikes flying at a perpendicular trajectory to the surface the grenade has stuck to.
