Universe and lore

Main article: Anskum-pattern plasma grenade

The Plasma Grenade in Halo 2: Anniversary is the Anskum-pattern plasma grenade, otherwise known to the UNSC as the Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade. The model is derived from the Blur Studio high-fidelity model used for the game's prerendered cutscenes, similar to its campaign counterpart. This design is itself based on the Halo 4 iteration of the grenade.

Plasma Grenades can be found as map pickups in most multiplayer maps and modes in Halo 2: Anniversary. They can be added as loadout weapons in custom games, though otherwise perform the same as their campaign counterparts.

At the time of Halo 2: Anniversary's launch in 2014, two Plasma Grenades were included in one of the game's three social loadouts, alongside the Plasma Rifle.
