The Type-3 Incendiary Grenade is a multi-purposed infantry explosives munition, and can be thrown 10 meters by the average soldier. The filling contains pyrophoric alkali metal Caesium chemical compound, a stable yet hazardous chemical compound that was developed by the [[Jiralhanae]]. Upon impact with a hard surface, the casing converts to liquid form, burning at around 2200 °C (3992 °F), and causing significant damage to vehicles and infantry alike, automatically killing all nearby infantry in a 4.7 meter (15.5 foot) radius.<ref name="vis"/> The stable caesium mixture filler also escapes from the burning casing, splashing over nearby objects and causing significant damage as it burns for 4.5 seconds. | The Type-3 Incendiary Grenade is a multi-purposed infantry explosives munition, and can be thrown 10 meters by the average soldier.

This feature makes the grenade arguably one of the most effective ways to deal with Chieftains; however they will have no effect when used against the [[Invincibility]] equipment used by Jiralhanae. | ||
*The Incendiary Grenade has no detonation time, so will ignite instantly when coming into contact with either enemies or structures. This feature is particularly useful when escaping from the Flood. | *The Incendiary Grenade has no detonation time, so will ignite instantly when coming into contact with either enemies or structures.
