As seen above, the Pulse Grenade operates very similarly to the power drain of Halo 3. However, unlike the power-drain, it does not stop vehicles. The damage done by the weapon is low, and the sheild/health stripping process is slow (enough so that it is nearly impossible to get a kill with it on a fully-shielded opponent). Instead, the grenade should be used similar to the Plasma Pistol; as a weakening device, to cause damage to an enemy and force them from cover, where they can be eliminated with ease via conventional means, or to deny an area or object (such as a dropped flag) to the enemy.

However, it should be noted that a non-shielded opponent will die almost instantly from a pulse grenade field. Therefore, the weapon makes an excellent ambush tool for wounded opponents.
