| The '''smoke grenade''' is a canister-type grenade that produces smoke upon detonation in service of the [[UNSC]].{{Ref/Generic|Id=cosplay|[[:File:H3ODST Cosplay Guide.pdf|The Rookie Cosplay Guide]]|page 54}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=tfor20|TFoR|Chapter=20|Quote=In addition to the weapons, there was a single smoke canister—blue smoke to signal for pickup.}}

| Like [[signal flare]]s, the smoke grenades are used for a variety and diversity of reasons. They are typically used to signal for pickup after a mission, or a request for an [[equipment]] drop, or even a need for emergency evacuation. Different reasons appear to have different colors of smoke attached to them; for example, blue smoke is used to signal for pickup.{{Ref/Reuse|tfor20}}{{Ref/Novel|TFoR|Chapter=22}} 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]].{{Ref/Level|HR|Exodus}}{{Ref/Level|HR|New Alexandria}}{{Ref/Level|HR|The Package}} Three of these grenades were typically attached to the [[ODST armor]]'s belt by attachment connectors on the canister's lid.{{Ref/Reuse|cosplay}}{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|[[Rookie]] in-game model}}{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|[[Dutch]] in-game model}}{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|[[Mickey]] in-game model}}
| | 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, none of which has yet been seen in any [[Halo]] game in the trilogy ''or'' Halo Wars. This is most likely because then you will be able to hold 10 grenades instead of 8 (2 Spikes, 2 Fragmentations, 2 Plasma, 2 Incendiary) |

| ==Production notes==
| | *'''Signal Flare:''' "Smokers" are used to alert allies of a friendly position. They utilize thick, green smoke. |
| In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the serial number M45A771B is printed on the canister; since the same serial number is printed on the [[40mm grenade]] (albeit mirrored), the [[M392 DMR]], and the [[MA37 assault rifle]], it is likely all four items share the same decal sheet.
