Covenant proximity mine

The Covenant proximity mine is a Covenant explosive device that was in use in 2552. The grenade has a similar appearance to a Covenant antimatter charge, and may be a miniaturized form of the explosive. After being set off, the mine fires needler projectiles.

During the Battle of Ariel, Taylor "Dutch" Miles and Kojo "Romeo" Agu threw one of these explosives at a group of Grunts. The Grunts, not realizing the device wasn't armed (Dutch and Romeo didn't know how to arm it without detonating it), panicked and fled into a corridor rigged with laser traps which sliced them to pieces.
