The '''Spike Grenade''' is a new weapon that will be introduced in [[Halo 3]]. 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 (kind of like a [[Wikipedia:Claymore mine | claymore mine]]). Unlike the [[Plasma Grenade]], the Spike Grenade sticks to the surface of ANYTHING it lands on (the plasma grenade can only stick to 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. 
 
The Spike Grenade appears to be similar in design to the [[Wikipedia:Model 24 | ''Stielhandgranate'']] the Germans used in WW2. It has four big curved spikes on top of the grenade, and a number of smaller ones around the shaft of the grenade. This also gives it the appearance of a [[Wikipedia:Mace | medieval mace]].
 
Bungie has stated that, 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.
