"It sure don't seem like it was meant for burnin' material, seems more like it was meant for burnin' personnel."

— Anonymous E2-BAG/1/7 serviceman

The Type-3 Antipersonnel/Antimateriel Incendiary Grenade, colloquially known as the "Firebomb", the "Molotov" or the "Flame Grenade", is a Brute grenade.

It is a multipurposed infantry explosives munition, and can be thrown 10 meters (32.8 feet) by the average soldier. Upon impact with a hard surface, the casing converts to liquid form, burning at 2200 °C (3992 °F) and causing significant damage to vehicles or infantry alike, automatically killing all nearby infantry in a 3.4 meter (8 foot) radius. The gel-like filler substance also escapes from the burning casing, splashing over nearby objects and causing significant damage as it burns for 4.5 seconds. Killing someone in Multiplayer with this grenade will award the player with the Incineration Medal.

Quotes

The following are observations of the Type-3 Incendiary Grenade from servicemen of the UNSC Marine Corps unit E2-BAG/1/7.

• "The filler seems to be a liquid or a gel or something; it dissipates pretty rapidly under water—I don't know how it would behave in hard vacuum."

• "It doesn't burn under water--unless it's already on something and burning. A thermite grenade will burn under water and that crap has been around forever. Hey, is it just me or does Brute tech seem to be all over the map? Either there's no info sharing on Brutonia or something bad happened."

• "Baby Kongs use 'em exclusively as AP grenades. Kongs tend to capture or abandon material more often than they deny it. "

• "None of the other alien foxtrots use 'em. Either the bravo kilos don't trust 'em with 'em or the rest of 'em ain't as keen on burnin' folk as kilos are."

Trivia

• One Incendiary Grenade can kill up to three Combat Flood forms or Pure Flood forms (If they are close enough). The grenade is also useful against swarms of Infection forms.
• When stuck to a Flood Carrier Form, the resulting explosion will not release/disperse any Parasite Form Flood from the Carrier.
• The Incendiary Grenade will kill any Chieftain in a single throw on any difficulty. As long as the player hits the Chieftain and gets the bulk of the explosion (spreading all along the body, not just the legs or such). It is almost always a guaranteed kill unless one of the Gravity Hammer wielding Chieftains activates his Invincibility.
• Also, the Incendiary Grenade can kill any player with one throw in custom games, burning them as they move.
• It can also be used to create a "wall of flame" that restricts enemy movement in the area. This makes it very useful in skirmish games such a Assault and CTF.
• It does not appear by default on any maps and is only seen in a custom map using Forge.
• It, like all grenades, can be shot and detonated by a weapon. A sniper rifle works best.
• It is the best weapon to defeat a flood Pure form.
• It was created by the Brutes after the Covenant civil war, in hopes of retaking High-Charity. The Covenant were developing the technology after the events of Halo: Combat Evolved.
• Some people may have thought it was made by the UNSC.
• It was featured in the popular Halo 3 series Deus Ex Machina in the episode where Deus was taken over by the strange symbiote thing and becomes a very violent and aggressive person. He was fighting his friend Michael in an abandoned warehouse when a few people passed by and decided to try to kill them using Incendiary Grenades.
• If you turn on the "grenade regeneration' option all grenades will regenerate except the Firebomb for some reason.
• This is sometimes referred to as a, "cheap instant flamethrower" by players.
