The mystery grenade slot = Equipment?

Whilst we can I think comfortably assume frag and plasma grenades will be making a return to Halo4 there is still a spare grenade slot on the H4 hud that is still unaccounted for. So what kind of diabolical devise nestles in that slot? Is some manner of forerunner grenade with unspeakable destructive power or could it be a slot reserved for various Halo 3 style equipment? If equipment was to return it would have to return inside a grenade slot because the spare buttons are now taken up with things like sprint/ armour abilities.

So what are you predictions? + If equipment was to return what equipment would you like to see return and/ or what new equipment would you like to see in H4?

My vote is for EMP grenades, flash bangs and Tag mines (C4 equivalent) simular to the ones from the Headhunters motion comics.

Perhaps a claymore, or some type of disrupting device.

No leak discussion, but I think that you may be right, as I may have seen something on the internet that suggests your proposal…

Leak discussion? you can see the 3rd slot on official gameplay footage.

I think he was talking about himself giving no leaks out

I really doubt it would be H3-like equipment since they already have armor abilities you can spawn with. My guess would be the return of incendiary grenades or one from the new enemy(or enemies). EMP grenades sound cool as well.

Oh Ok fair enough

Some sort of mine would be cool.

My guess? Perhaps the EMP grenade from headhunters as you siad or maybe some forerunner/ancient grenade?

i think vehicle trip mines would be cool just as long as they’re better than the ones in halo 3

I miss the trip mine from the H3 beta. I’ve got many a fond memory of tagging a warthog as it drove past, discretely sneaking into the enemy base to tag a vehicle then getting a multi kill a whole minute after I placed it, good times:)

there are actually 2 empty slots in some newer gameplay vids (not leaked) that means there will be 4 types of grenades including frag and plasma

Really? Where have you seen that?

In the Ft. Conan and the Game Centre gameplay the number of empty slots are not visible only a frag grenade emblem and in the latest E3 promo if you pause the vid at 28 seconds you can see both the frag grenade slot and the plasma grenade but again there is nothing to indicate the number of slots remaining. Am I missing something?

Great, now you got me watching the comics. They are great.

I can confirm that it’s not equipment. I know what it is, but I’m not discussing here because leaks. Youtube is your friend, though.

Well I’m sure the Ancient Enemy used some sort of grenades, so I’m assuming something we’ll have at least a third grenade type.

The slot on the left has no emblem so maybe it could be the frag slot they both have 2 grenades in them. You are maybe/ probably right but there is still hope.

Actually, there are TWO other slots.

So, it’s frag, Plasma, ??? and ???.

I’m gonna agree with your guess on EMP. I think one will be some kind of Forerunner grenade with a large radius that only damages shields.

I’m not sure about number 4…Maybe it’s a Spike grenade, but instead of blasting spikes about the place, it blasts FIREBOMBS!!! It’s the best of both Brute worlds!!!
