The Frag Grenade is a grenade weapon featured in Halo 2 and its remaster, Halo 2: Anniversary.

Universe and lore[edit]

Main article: M9 fragmentation grenade

In the original Halo 2, the grenade featured is the M9 fragmentation grenade, manufactured by Misriah Armory and used by the United Nations Space Command.[2]

In Anniversary, the weapon's model was replaced with that of the M9 grenade featured in Halo 4.[3]

Gameplay[edit]

Counterparts[edit]

Campaign[edit]

The Frag Grenade is first encountered on the level Cairo Station. In most Master Chief levels the player spawns with four such grenades.

In Halo 2: Anniversary a number of skulls affect the Frag Grenade.

  • The Bandanna skull grants the player infinite grenades and ammunition.
  • The Boom skull doubles the grenades' explosion radius.
  • The SO... ANGRY... skull makes Brutes explode in Frag explosions a short amount of time after berserking.

Multiplayer[edit]

Frag Grenades are standard loadout weapons in Halo multiplayer. They perform largely the same as their campaign counterparts and are common fixtures in every map and mode.
