Jovokada Workshop spike grenade

The Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation "Spike" Grenade, more commonly known as the Spike Grenade, is a Jiralhanae (Brute) ground grenade.

It has four big curved spikes on top of the grenade, and a number of smaller ones around the shaft of the grenade.

It is an invention of the Brutes, and is similar in functionality to the Plasma Grenade. When it detonates, it shoots a conical blast of spikes in one direction, like a claymore mine, perpendicular to the surface it sticks to. The spikes will also ricochet off of walls causing more damage. Like the Plasma Grenade, any player stuck by it die instantly. However, unlike its luminous counterpart, the Spike Grenade sticks to the surface of any solid surface it lands on, including shields (the plasma grenade can only stick to players, enemies and vehicles).

According to EGM reports, the grenade makes a distinct "Whoop-whoop-whoop" sound when thrown, which may be useful for scaring enemies or, to a more experienced player, could be used to find the thrower's position.

In order to balance the addition of a new grenade type, players will only be able to carry two of each kind in Halo 3.
