Just asking for clarification, are the Forerunner grenades from Halo 4 and the Forerunner Grenades from Halo 5 different? In Halo 4, they were called Pulse Grenades in game. When playing Halo 5 recently, I unlocked an ability that increases the maximum number of “Splinter Grenades” I could carry. I had assumed that the Forerunner grenades in H5 were Pulse Grenades still. Are they in fact completely different?
Splinter grenades replaced Pulse grenades, because the H4 ones were awful
I figured they had just changed the way they worked but kept the same name. I suppose it makes sense though, Splinter Grenades are a lot more effective then the Pulse from Halo 4.
Pulse grenades were almost useless. But these splinter grenades are beast…except when a teammate runs through one and gets you a betrayal.
Splinters have a longer duration and can emp vehicles, plus a direct hit can result in a instant kill. Pulse, the only way to kill with them was to throw at someones feet after you melee them or hope someon was dumb enough to stand still.
Yep, splinter grenades are much better than the Halo 4 Pulse grenades.
