Orgudam Workshop firebomb
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
- "It sure don't seem like it was meant for burnin' materiel, seems more like it was meant for burnin' personnel."
- — Anonymous E2-BAG/1/7 serviceman
The Type-3 Antipersonnel/Antimateriel Incendiary Grenade[1], 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.
It can also be used to create a "wall of flame" that restricts enemy movement in the area.
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 Flame Grenade will kill off 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 weilding Chieftains activates his Invincibility.
- Also, the Incendiary Grenade can kill any player with one throw in custom games, burning them as they move like the Plasma Grenade.
