**There are many instances of explosions going off at any time. A good practice to do, if playing LASO, is to throw a frag grenade to detonate any grenades lying on the ground, or kill any enemies off-screen or far away. It is best to wait for about 30 seconds in order to ensure every spare Grunt finishes their death animation and subsequent explosion; a grenade or several finish exploding; Flood Carrier forms finish exploding. In order to prevent risk of taking any damage from throwing frag grenades, you also have to wait about 3 seconds before throwing another one. If you don't do this, then a frag grenade can very easily bounce back to you. | **There are many instances of explosions going off at any time.

**This is the origin of the Iron Skull's reworked effect of restarting the player to the beginning of the level after death in solo games. Because of this change, players had eventually came up with "Solo Legendary All Skulls On No Deaths No Save and Quits" or the very extreme version of Mythic. | |||
**Back when linked Bungie.net accounts were created, this version of the Mythic difficulty could be verifiable by the Scoring system. If you never died once in a mission, the results screen showed up. This was utilized effectively in the Summer Mythic Recon Challenges. | |||
