| '''Incendiary gel''' is a form of munition employed by the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=CH16|CH|Chapter=16}}
| | '''Incendiary gel''' was a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[ammo]] type utilized mainly by [[Jiralhanae]]<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fourthgrenade</ref> and [[Mgalekgolo]].<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 267</ref> |

| ==Overview==
| | Incendiary gel is used in [[Type-3 Antipersonnel/Antimatériel Incendiary Grenade]]s, and in the [[Assault Cannon]]s of Mgalekgolo, where it can be fired in mortar-like green projectiles or in a searing stream of fire.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 267</ref> |
| Incendiary gel is a radioactive composite created by the Covenant from the energetic meta-materials and strained-bond lattices present in the [[infusion matter]] developed by the [[Forerunners]], and present throughout their installations. The Covenant's incendiary gel is considered an inferior copy of the Forerunners' own perfected forms, though is widely employed across many different weapon systems.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=298-299}}{{Ref/Site|Id=II|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/infusion-invasion|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Community Update - Infusion Invasion|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}} | |

| The adhesive forms of incendiary gel found in Covenant firebombs are considered stable, yet hazardous nonetheless, and contain [[Wikipedia:Caesium|caesium]].{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=68}} In this application, incendiary gel burns at approximately 2200<sup>o</sup>C, and will not burn underwater.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}
| | Incendiary gel burns at approximately twenty-two hundred degrees, celsius.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fourthgrenade</ref>, and won't burn underwater.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fourthgrenade</ref> It is possibly radioactive. |

| ==Usage==
| |
| Incendiary gel is utilised in a wide array of applications across the [[Covenant military]], though perhaps the most famous is that used in the [[assault cannon]]s wielded by the [[Mgalekgolo]].{{Ref/Reuse|CH16}} Some assault cannons fire their incendiary gel in individual bolts or magnetically-guided streams of gas.{{Ref/Reuse|CH16}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Incendiary gel is also used as the filler in Covenant explosive ordnance, including the [[fuel rod]]s fired by various [[fuel rod gun]]s and [[fuel rod cannon]]s, and as the primary filler inside the [[Orgudam Workshop Firebomb]] employed predominantly by [[Jiralhanae]] forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=306}}{{Ref/Site|Id=bnet|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fourthgrenade|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Incendiary Grenade|D=31|M=01|Y=2021}}

| Infusion gel, the original material that incendiary gel was derived from, is widely employed by the Brute forces of the [[Banished]] - most notably the [[Clan of the Long Shields]] under [[Voridus]].
