The Fury tactical nuclear weapon is a battlefield nuclear weapon used by the UNSC, and has been described as the closest equivalent in the UNSC arsenal to "a nuclear [[grenade]]". It is the size and shape of an over inflated football. Its yield has been stated to be slightly less than one megaton. The nuclear blast has been described as extremely clean,<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 20''</ref> and in a planet with an atmosphere, left a crater sixty meters deep and 400 meters wide. Its heat flash could incinerate everything within two kilometers of the nuke,<ref name="HO7">'''[[Halo: Oblivion]]''', ''Chapter 7''</ref> while the conflagration zone fell just short of eight kilometers.<ref name="HO8">'''Halo: Oblivion''', ''Chapter 8''</ref> The Fury is relatively effective at destroying anything from a Covenant base to a [[Covenant cruiser]], although the Fury would have to be inserted into the ship prior to detonation. | The Fury tactical nuclear weapon is a battlefield nuclear weapon used by the UNSC, and has been described as the closest equivalent in the UNSC arsenal to "a nuclear [[grenade]]".

Later, during the attack on the Covenant world of [[Zhoist]], the Spartans and the [[21st Space Assault Battalion|Black Daggers]] working with them armed themselves with one Fury per team along with their other nuclear ordnance.
