The Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade is a dangerous hand-thrown weapon utilized by Covenant forces, typically used by [[Unggoy]] and [[Sangheili]] soldiers as both a thrown anti-infantry and anti-vehicle weapon. The grenade is spherical in shape and straightforward in design, with the activation "switch" located on the orange-colored area of the grenade. Above the activation pad is a [[Forerunner]] glyph. The glyphs seen on the plasma grenade are known to change with each new model and are believed to be based upon the time of manufacturing and the Covenant religious rituals.{{Citation needed}} | The Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade is a dangerous hand-thrown weapon utilized by Covenant forces, typically used by [[Unggoy]] and [[Sangheili]] soldiers as both a thrown anti-infantry and anti-vehicle weapon.

*It is possible to create a makeshift grenade launcher in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' using two Plasma Grenades. To do this, one should throw a Plasma Grenade at the ground from a safe distance. When it hits the ground, wait a few seconds and then throw the other Plasma Grenade in front of it. If timed right, the blast from the first grenade will launch the other grenade across the map. | *It is possible to create a makeshift grenade launcher in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' using two Plasma Grenades.
