The Functionality of Different Grenade Types in Halo Infinite

There are four distinct types of grenades in Halo Infinite you can use, and each one is unique for a particular scenario. But the issue begins when you are limited to carrying only two of them in combat.

To solve that limitation, you need to know the effectiveness of all the grenades and the right time to use them. Let’s get a proper understanding of grenades in Halo Infinite.

Here are the types of grenades you might find in Halo Infinite:  

  • Plasma Grenade: This type of nades is highly recommended if you are to fight any powerful boss in Halo Infinite. This throwable projectile sticks to the surface you throw at, even to the enemy’s body. The best use of a plasma grenade is for lowering the enemy’s shield. So, make your arsenal filled with plasma grenades if you are planning to fight with enemies such as Lok Boss.
  • Frag Grenade: There’s no need to introduce this grenade to you. All of your gaming life have passed throwing this nade. Just give your teammate a frag out call before throwing the nade to the enemy’s room, and steer clear of the area.
  • Spike Grenade: This is almost similar to the plasma grenade but slightly different in the damage department. As the name suggests, this nade fires out spikes when it explodes. For fighting close range, this grenade is perfect.
  • Dynamo Grenade: These nades are used for disabling the enemy’s shield. And the bonus feature of this grenade is that it can be used as EMPs (electromagnetic pulse) to shut down car engines.

These are the usefulness of different types o throwables in Halo Infinite. Take the most needed two, according to your mission, and use them in an appropriate manner to lure out the best outcome- maximum damage to your enemies.
