Smoke grenade
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Smoke-producing flares are used for a variety and diversity of reasons by the UNSC. Different reasons appear to have different colors of smoke attached to them. There are a variety of smoke-producing items, few of which have been observed being in use by the UNSC.
- Signal flare: used to alert allies of a friendly position. They utilize thick, green or white smoke.[1][2][3]
- Smoke canister: These are used to signal for pickup after a mission, or a request for an equipment drop, or even a need for emergency evacuation. They create thick, blue or red smoke.[4][5] These are also referred to as "smoke grenades".
- A type of training smoke grenade was commonly carried by Orbital Drop Shock Troopers during the Fall of Reach and the Battle of Mombasa in 2552.[4][6][7][8][9] Three of these grenades are typically attached to the ODST armor's belt with attachment connectors on the lid.[6]
Production notes
In Halo: Reach, the serial number M45A771B is printed on the canister; the same serial number is printed on the 40mm grenade (albeit mirrored) and the MA37 assault rifle, it is likely the three share the same decal sheet.
