Covenant proximity mine: Difference between revisions

This '''unidentified Covenant explosive''' is a [[Covenant]] explosive device that was in use in [[2552]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Helljumper]]''', ''[[Halo: Helljumper Issue 5|Issue 5]]''</ref> The grenade has a similar appearance to a Covenant [[antimatter charge]],<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> and may be a miniaturized form of the explosive. The explosive has only been encountered during the [[Battle of Ariel]] in early 2552. Due to the operation's archaeological nature, the explosive may be specifically intended for such purpose.

During the Battle of Ariel, [[Taylor Miles|Taylor "Dutch" Miles]] and [[Kojo Agu|Kojo "Romeo" Agu]] threw one of these explosives at a group of [[Grunt]]s.  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.<ref>'''[[Halo: Helljumper]]''', ''[[Halo: Helljumper Issue 5|Issue 5]]''</ref>
