'''Explosive jumping''' is a trick where the player jumps over an explosive force, typically one of their own creation. The explosive force propels the player upward, increasing the height of their jump and allowing them to reach higher places. [[Grenade]] jumping is the most common form of this trick. | '''Explosive jumping''' is a trick where the player jumps over an explosive force, typically one of their own creation.

In ''[[Halo 3]]'', a [[Type-25 Brute shot|Brute Shot]] can also be used; simply fire two shells while in midair. | In ''[[Halo 3]]'', a [[Type-25 Brute shot|Brute Shot]] can also be used; simply fire two shells while in midair. | ||
In ''Halo 3'', [[ | In ''Halo 3'', [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenades]] are easier to use, but [[M9 fragmentation grenade|Frag Grenades]] allow for a higher jump. The [[Type-2 spike grenade|Spike Grenade]] is not recommended, as its explosion goes upward and it will likely kill the player. In ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''Halo 3'', an [[Overshield]] can allow for simultaneous use of both grenades and rockets, giving a more explosive result (and a potentially higher jump). | ||
In [[Campaign]], [[skull]]s can be used to further boost the height of an explosive jump. In ''Halo 2'', the height of the already-boosted jump can be increased with the [[Halo 2 skulls#Sputnik|Sputnik Skull]]; in ''Halo 3'', the [[Halo 3 skulls#Cowbell|Cowbell Skull]] can do the same by increasing the power of the blast. Care should be taken when using the Cowbell Skull, as if the jump is not timed right, the increased splash damage can kill players. | In [[Campaign]], [[skull]]s can be used to further boost the height of an explosive jump.

This is a trick that works best in the ''Halo 2'' multiplayer level [[Zanzibar]]. The only requirements are a Rocket Launcher and a Brute Shot, though an Overshield is also recommended. | This is a trick that works best in the ''Halo 2'' multiplayer level [[Zanzibar]].

First, push one or two of the [[Fusion coil|Fusion Coils]] over to the "target" and jump on top of one of them. Note that without an Overshield, three Fusion Coils will kill you. Then, jump and about half a second after you tap the jump button, shoot the fusion coils. The resulting explosion will propel you into the air. | First, push one or two of the [[Fusion coil|Fusion Coils]] over to the "target" and jump on top of one of them.
