Talk:Z-040 pulse grenade

EMP Effects
This article claims that Pulse Grenades disables vehicles, however, I have tested this and found it to be untrue. It might be worth looking into by other contributors.
 * You forgot to sign your name. Perhaps just add a gameplay section that says it doesn't do that. Canonically it would not gameplay wise, wouldn't. Erickyboo (talk) 17:18, 12 May 2013 (EDT)


 * Err I'm not sure if it quite works that way since the source for the fact is a Bulletin mostly describing the gameplay. I always end up forgetting if little things about these weapons or abilities were removed before the game's release or after during a title update.

 * It says "

A field-effect-generating attenuation device used to overload both simple and complex power networks, forcing them temporarily offline. " in the bulletin's description. Basically, EMP but cut from the game but canonical! Erickyboo (talk) 18:00, 13 May 2013 (EDT)


 * Would have been useful with vehicle EMP... D: --Crisperstorm (talk) 23:10, 26 September 2015 (EDT)

Splinter Grenade?
Been noticing Ready Up Live and various people on the Waypoint Forums saying the grenade is now called the "Splinter Grenade" in Halo 5, but I can't find any official source or video where it specifically calls it that. I assume people are just confusing it with the new Splinter Turret?--Crisperstorm (talk) 23:10, 26 September 2015 (EDT)


 * I haven't seen or heard anything official but the "splinter grenade" name has popped up a few times on the Archive and Waypoint. Gameplay-wise it has nothing in common with the Halo 4 version apart from its appearance and disintegration properties, though we know from Halo 4's ending that the Z-040 has multiple detonation modes. I'll see if I can dig anything up. -- Our answer is at hand. Gravemind.svg ( Talk to me. ) 23:15, 26 September 2015 (EDT)


 * The different detonation modes would make sense but I have to say my biggest irk with the Halo 5 forerunner weapons is the big changes in firing mechanics but they all look exactly the same. x_x --Crisperstorm (talk) 23:29, 26 September 2015 (EDT)
 * I think that's a testament to forerunner adaptability and changability of weaponry, but I hope we know if it's the same Z-040 except simply splinter grenade functionality in halo 5. Erickyboo (talk) 23:41, 26 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Apparently Greenskull tweeted that it was the splinter grenade now. How reliable is he? https://twitter.com/Greenskull/status/647562462422781952?s=09 --Crisperstorm (talk) 23:49, 26 September 2015 (EDT)
 * He's pretty reliable. Sith Venator Mega Blastoise.gif ( Dank Memes ) 23:54, 26 September 2015 (EDT)
 * I would rather hear it straight from the horses mouth or in a menu or forge or something, but...--Crisperstorm (talk) 23:59, 26 September 2015 (EDT)
 * I would prefer to actually have it confirmed from 343 before we change anything Alertfiend - Team Chief 00:27, 27 September 2015 (EDT)
