To help clarify it for everyone, you used to be able to shoot grenades out of the air for "remote detonation". But due to ALOT of negative feedback by the community (mainly all the people that "keep getting killed by it as they throw the grenades") it was patched out shortly before the first episode of Infinite Mythbusters was released.
@@kkb117 Had someone died close to and/or just before you achieved it? As I have had a similar situation but it was from a grenade falling from a dead body.
Yea, and I got a medal that said I did it. I was helping out a teammate from across the map and I shot his Grenade and killed him. I was so confused because I didn’t know that was a thing.
its not a bug, they took it out right before it was tested here for negative feedback. alot of people were getting blown up from their own grenades before they lef their hands.
Yes to both, enemy and self thrown grenades work just the same, not sure why you would do this but if you're unlucky enough you might just do it on accident.
@@NFCloud just sneak up behind a bunch of enemies, have your teammate throw a grenade in the air, then pull the grenade down into yourself and the group of enemies. Simplicity itself.
I’ve 110% gotten a remote detonation medal when nowhere near a grenade spawn station. Maybe test if you can get it either after it’s thrown and touches the ground/wall, or during the animation of throwing it while still in their hand. It’s possible maybe the game doesn’t consider it a functioning grenade until it makes contact with something. I also think the skewer yourself myth is still busted since what’s killing you is the vehicle blowing up, not the skewer. The skewer will probably blow it up with or without you in it.
To everyone here I think you are talking about the “nade shot” medal where you kill someone by shooting a grennade in mid air. Also what I’m talking about is not patched I did it today and got the medal
I'm pretty sure I've seen grenades explode in the hands of whoever was about to throw them when hit by a bullet. So maybe the only time they don't explode is when they are already in the air. So... Myth: You can shoot a grenade that is about to be thrown and detonate it.
Great video! You can definitely get remote detonation kills from grenades dropped on the ground. The reason you didn't get it for the grenade you shot at 5:28 of the video is because the spike projectile killed him rather than the actual explosion from the grenade. I just went and tested it myself.
@@jessevanweiden3424 Ya you can get remote detonation with frags, spike grenades, and plasmas. You cannot get remote detonation with the shock grenades because shooting the grenade just sets it off it doesn't actually cause an explosion.
The alt fire on the Ravager (as poopy as it is) can detonate friendly and enemy grenades prematurely. There is no medal however. Maybe something else to test if you already haven't
Myth to test : shock rifle or energy projectiles and disable/ destroy rockets from the M41 spanker. I had it happen to me in a multiplayer match, I shot 2 rockets at someone and both failed to detonate when they impacted the wall. The rockets did fly through the shock rifle beam on the way, so it my guess that they disabled rockets mid flight
I’ve gotten a remote detonation on Recharge quick play while at the “attic” location of the map. (This is the area near the yellow room where commando spawns). I believe the grenade has to hit the ground before it can be shot to prevent people getting killed while throwing a grenade from stray weapon fire detonating it.
I remember back in the closed beta that you were able to blow up missiles in mid flight by shooting them, BUT I don't know if you can do that in this one.
You can also shoot a grenade that's still in someone's hand as they throw it. I've gotten kills that way on enemies who were nowhere near grenades, and it gave me the medal
Wow. Never knew about grenades being set off that way. That might explain the times I've been killed by grenades with no indicator or sign of a grenade near me.
I think you can get remote detonation shooting a grenade that another player has dropped (from dying), but not when it's a spike grenade, since that's what you shot in the clip that didn't give the medal. I've seen a clip of someone shooting a random frag grenade on the ground and getting it.
A couple of times I've earned the medal "Nade Shot" It's always happened in cluster fights and I didn't think to clip it at the time but I always assumed I had shot a nade in the air. It's possible that the grenades can't be shot once thrown but can be shot during the throw animation, obtaining a different medal than "remote detonation"
I think the electric effect on the grenade is to do with the interaction between the shock rifle and its ability to chain lightning through equipment. Its a hell of a feat but maybe shocking it near an opponent will chain the effect off the live grenade? Or possibly give the grenade more of an emp effect? Interesting indeed...
I appreciate you doing a 2.5 and I'm definitely not saying you should try again, but you did only test with 1 type of grenade. I wonder if that matters. None the less, very cool!
The way to get the remote detonation medal in game is to have the frag grenade bounce and then shoot it. I have done it multiple times since the beta of the multiplayer dropped. The funniest one I got was using a sniper rifle going for a body shot and I hit a teammates grenade. I also got a double kill by shooting my own grenade I threw at enemies Let me know if you want me to share the clips as proof.
Myth i want to ask: 1) Heatwave(And Cindershot) ricochet bullet will traces and hit enemies behind cover, (aka shoot heatwave/cindershot at wall near enemies) 2) Normal Melee can cancel Energy Shield and Gravity Hammer if timed correctly 3) Bunny hop while carrying a flag will make you go faster than running(not sprinting) while doesnt alert enemy of your location
personally I'm very sure when I got my remote detonation it wasn't from a nade on a spawn pad.. can you shoot grenades after tossing them on the ground before they blow up? that's the only way I can see how I would have gotten mine. I wish I had recorded the video of me getting it for you guys to see. these videos are great by the way!
I got killed by a pelican when I was in a Wasp lol. Also, if you mark the pelican as it's coming down you sometimes get a RED marker indicating there is an enemy inside the pelican.
One thing I'm wondering about, is after you kill someone that drops grenades, if you throw a grenade at the dropped nades, will they blow up? Same with throwing a grenade at the spawned nades if the blow up to make a 3 cluster explosion. Thanks again guys, I love the videos!
You can also get the the Remote Detonation medal from shooting grenades that drop from bodies, too. I think what happened here was the chain explosion of grenades got the kill, not the grenade you shot on the ground. Just tested it with my partner in a custom game, made sure there was 1 frag on the ground, shot her in the kneecap, then shot the single grenade and got the medal.
So you know how the pulse weapons' shock bounces between targets? It bounces between any metallic surface such as gun/vehicle pads, but lesser known is that they can chain off of a threat sensor.
Shooting grenades that have been dropped by enemies when too many other enemies get near them is my personal Firefight meta for reach. Super effective...
You definitely can shoot frag grenades out of the air. You can do it in Halo 5 and Halo Infinite. I've tested it with a sniper rifle and I've gotten it to blow up mid air, when frag grenades need to bounce on a horizontal plain first to blow up.
Great vid! Loved 🥰 all of them so far. Not so sure why y’all were so surprised by the projectile mechanics. It’s been that way since Halo: Combat Evolved. I remember trying to shoot myself with the rocket 🚀 launcher through the portal, and noticing the rockets went right through me; however, they’d hit a vehicle 🚗
the remote detonation is generally caused by grenades blowing up a grenade in air and bouncing it towards someone doing something we call instasploding
One mistake. Remote detonation works on ALL grenades that are laying on the ground. No idea why it did not give you the medal from that, but it surely gave me one!
I definitely got a remote detonation while facing away from a grenade pad and shooting people, that aren't even near one. Maybe it works with grenades that bounced once?
I'll say that getting an sudden explosive kill in Halo 3 where you accidentally shoot your opponents grenade out of their hand is def funny af, but it always felt cheap. I'm kinda glad that's in Infinite but I'm pretty sure that been a staple for 343i since Halo 4 or maybe 5.
If theater goes back far enough I actually have a match where I got a remote detonation from a bade that wasn't on a pad. It surprised the hell out of me because it was completely on accident.
You have to actually *get the kill* after you shoot the grenade- they didn’t get the medal with the test off the body drop because it didn’t result in a kill.
Me and a friend actually tested if you can repulse a skewer. We found that you can, you just need perfect timing. I’ll be posting that video on my channel shortly if you want to check it out.
My friend has a clip, with the BR, he was shooting a guy just as he was throwing a grenade, and as soon as the grenades left the enemies hand, my friend randomly shot it and got the remote detention.
I think some things changed to how grenades are detonated because during the first flight I shot a sticky grenade out of a bot's hand and got a plasma grenade kill from it. I vividly remember that because of how surprised I was that that was still a thing which appears to not be a thing now unless it's a glitch which is possible.
thought it would be cool to point out some probably known "myths" but repulsor beats grapple, the missile hog can blow up charged plasma pistol shots and slide mid slide turn around and repulse to boost
I think when people say you can shoot grenades is when two teams are chucking grenades at eachother and shooting the grenades are colliding and exploding… pretty sure frags hitting eachother in air explode.
Also try shooting a grenade stuck to someone before it blows up, I've stuck people only to have a teammate shoot it before it blows up by the timer and steal the kill.
The weirdest one is the grenade one because I was playing ranked and I swear I shot the grenade while the dude was throwing it. He reached for it and just blew up
I got the Remote Detonation medal with a Mangler on Bazaar; date was 11/26/21. When I looked at the footage, I had shot the grenade that my enemy threw and it looked like it was on the ground.
Great follow-up, definitely a lot of questionable comments from episode 2. I'm almost 100% certain shooting dropped player grenades gives you remote detonation , the one time you checked it you killed him with a chain reaction explosion. (You shot the grenade, the grenade blew up and took out his shields, then set off another grenade that killed him almost instantly. The game technically doesn't think you shot a grenade that killed him because well, you didn't unfortunately.) Also the first bounce on a grenade arms it and you can shoot those armed grenades to make them explode, actually a very useful and nifty skill to use in ranked if someone's behind a short wall, you bounce the grenade right next to them and shoot it, you don't have to rely on getting the right timing for a good explosion. This is really starting to look bad for you guys, should've never tested this myth. It will haunt you forever. I hope vol. 2.5 part 2 stops this madness for both of your sanity. :)
You can reflect a skewer, tested it with a friend, it has to miss you though. When it flies past you, there’s a delay reflect. We had it fly past me and get stuck into the backside of the object I was standing on. Because of this delay, you can’t reflect it if it’s coming right at you because it’ll hit you first no matter what
As everyone has already stated I am 100% sure it is possible to shoot the grenade that the enemy threw for the remote detonation medal. I believe it has to be shot either as their throwing it or as it is flying towards you. I think the grenade might become invulnerable after a certain amount of time it is airborne. I would test it as it is being thrown directly at you instead of when it's throw upwards.
you can absolutely repulse the skewer rail(unless a ninja patch changed that). timing is difficult, but it also gives the return to sender medal like the rocket launch
Myth: the hook will be able to grab to the grenades thrown in the air, or to the shot of the roket, or of the skewer (they need many people to be able to hit it).
I'm absolutely certain you can shoot grenades out of the air but it's only with automated weapons as whenever I blew them up it was always with a automatic
I love the revisit! Skewer & Nades just felt wrong (still do) but makes at least now I’ll sleep easy. That is…except for the fact that a frag nade shocked mid-air does still have a shocking animation….*what does this mean*…..
So the only time I got remote detonation, it wasn't near any grenade spawns. Maybe it has something to do with the grenade not being in the air yet, like shooting it at just a perfect time where the spartan is mid-throwing animation and you shoot it while it's still in their hand?
I know this is going to be pretty much impossible to test, but I got a remote detonation not by shooting at grenades on a spawn pad. I had to go into theater to see what happened because I was confused at first. I was using the new Mangler and what happened was an enemy killed my friendly teammate with an energy sword and while trying to shoot at him I incidentally hit a grenade that was falling from my then dead teammate's corpse. The explosion then killed the enemy with the energy sword before the grenade hit the ground. And for what it's worth, not being able to shoot thrown grenades mid air wasn't something they changed in Halo: Infinite. You couldn't do it in Halo 5 either. If you do some digging really far back it was one of the things they changed after the Halo 5 Beta. I remember reading the notes from after the beta concluded and thinking "Well that's dumb."
Perhaps try shooting a grenade after its first bounce, as maybe the game doesn’t consider it ‘armed’ until then? Otherwise, I wonder if indestructible grenades are a bug since they behave differently when they’re on the ground but don’t reward the medal unless they’re on a pad. It just makes sense to me that they ought to be destructible any time but only reward the medal on thrown or pad grenades.
Ok, You probably don't need to do a re-redo, but I think if the grenade is getting thrown at you that could cause it to explode if shot. I have seen my bullets hit grenades and seen both reactions (nothing and explosion). Great videos!
Remote detonations also happen when you blow up stuff like a warthog or any other vehicles which no one is on but the resulting explosion kills an enemy (80% sure about this)
I think you have to shoot the grenade back at the enemy spartan to get the remote detonation. I just got remote detonation on a ranked game pretty much immediately after one of my opponents chucked a grenade and he ended up exploding.
Can you grapple someone who has already grappled something/someone else? What if you have a ring of people all grapple each other? What happens if you have a ring of people grapple each other and there is an obstacle in the middle of the ring (like a tower or something)? If that obstacle is tapered, does the ring of grapples constrict and pull everyone to the top of the obstacle? If you have a long line of grapples, does every additional grappler move faster and faster because of the grapples in front all moving faster? Can you grapple thrown grenades or rockets? Can you grapple the tank barrel while the driver whips it around to give you more momentum?
You have to bounce the grenade atleast once IIRC, it was something they added to stop situations of grenades exploding in your face, since nade play is pretty core to halo. You can do it in a training match quickly if you wanna, just toss one at your feet and BR it out of the air.
Tell a lie, it doesn't - throwing it at my feet made it explode faster than say bouncing it off a wall, from my feet it'd just bounce one and det and off a wall it bounced like 2-3 times delaying it - It just really looked like you were popping it with your gun.
I did find out that you can still use a sticky to propel another sticky foward still, completely impractical but great clip potential if you use it to launch one into someones face.
funny bug would be you can get a default standing animation when trying to sit/entering into a vehicle like a mongoose and let a plasma tank fall down by using scroll wheel at the same time. No clue if it has any side effects except looking funny and not being able to shoot.
How did everyone enjoy the first Fiesta event?
I loved it, but I wish Fiesta was a permanent mode
I think I was the 5th like, also, love the content my guy 😁👍
What platform are you guys playing on? Is this on PC? PC with controller? Or on series s/x?
Was a great opportunity to learn the new weapons and how they work in the sandbox

Did they really get rid of it from flights and feedback? Bummer if so.
@@defendthehouse yes
Um.....I just did a match where I got that medal and I was not near a grenade spawn and I DID shoot it out of the air so.........?
@@kkb117 well can uou share the clip or something?
@@kkb117 Had someone died close to and/or just before you achieved it? As I have had a similar situation but it was from a grenade falling from a dead body.
Myth idea: can you play catch with the repulser?
ayo y’all should listen to this man’s music. His cover of “killing me softly” SLAPS
Yes, you can
BILLY WEEZER COBB
The bass line in your cover of hips don’t lie is more addictive than crack
I like the way you think.
Getting a kill with a nade you shoot awards its own medal. This game man.. so good!
Its called remote detonation been in halo since 2 or 3
Another cool one is Nadeshot where you throw a grenade that explodes just before you headshot an enemy, killing them very quickly.
Yeah I got it by accident. 🤣
Another awesome medal is when you catch a fusion coil that's been thrown. The way Jeff says "nuclear football" is the best.
I also got a "Fastball" medal where you kill someone from the impact of a grenade hitting them, as opposed to the explosion!
I think the grenade is bugged. There is loading text that states "Never tell me the odds" and explains that we can shoot grenades out of the air.
Yea, and I got a medal that said I did it. I was helping out a teammate from across the map and I shot his Grenade and killed him. I was so confused because I didn’t know that was a thing.
You can also shoot grenades when they are on the ground/spawn
@@KTJMProductions they literally just showed that in this video. Seriously did you not watch it?
its not a bug, they took it out right before it was tested here for negative feedback. alot of people were getting blown up from their own grenades before they lef their hands.
@@yeetmcmeat I got a Remote Detonation medal like a day after launch. So it might be a bugged Grenade.
Question for the Grenade myth: Can you use the Grapple shot to pull thrown grenades towards you? Also for the coils as well
Yes to both, enemy and self thrown grenades work just the same, not sure why you would do this but if you're unlucky enough you might just do it on accident.
@@NFCloud More so for just to be aware that its something that can happen if i'm not careful while being pelted with grenades
Not sure for grenades but if you grapple a coil that’s been thrown by an enemy you just catch it and can throw it back
@@NFCloud just sneak up behind a bunch of enemies, have your teammate throw a grenade in the air, then pull the grenade down into yourself and the group of enemies.
Simplicity itself.
@@TheGamingDandy a lot of work it seems like for such a minimalistic outcome
I believe the “frag” grenade has to bounce first. Only when you bounce a frag grenade off of the ground does it arm. It is not armed in the air.
Yeah I was just about to say this, they tried so much stuff but stuff like this can slip right under your nose
we're gonna have to make another video aren't we...
@@defendthehouse YUP.
@@defendthehouse Yup, oh darn lol

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the animation allows it to be shot
post a video of the kill where u get the medal!
You CAN shoot grenades on the ground coming from a body and it counts as a remote detonation. I have video of it happening

Great follow-up, definitely a lot of questionable comments from episode 2. I'm almost 100% certain shooting dropped player grenades gives you remote detonation , the one time you checked it you killed him with a chain reaction explosion. (You shot the grenade, the grenade blew up and took out his shields, then set off another grenade that killed him almost instantly. The game technically doesn't think you shot a grenade that killed him because well, you didn't unfortunately.)
Also the first bounce on a grenade arms it and you can shoot those armed grenades to make them explode, actually a very useful and nifty skill to use in ranked if someone's behind a short wall, you bounce the grenade right next to them and shoot it, you don't have to rely on getting the right timing for a good explosion.
This is really starting to look bad for you guys, should've never tested this myth. It will haunt you forever. I hope vol. 2.5 part 2 stops this madness for both of your sanity. :)
You can reflect a skewer, tested it with a friend, it has to miss you though. When it flies past you, there’s a delay reflect. We had it fly past me and get stuck into the backside of the object I was standing on. Because of this delay, you can’t reflect it if it’s coming right at you because it’ll hit you first no matter what
As everyone has already stated I am 100% sure it is possible to shoot the grenade that the enemy threw for the remote detonation medal. I believe it has to be shot either as their throwing it or as it is flying towards you. I think the grenade might become invulnerable after a certain amount of time it is airborne. I would test it as it is being thrown directly at you instead of when it's throw upwards.
This is my comfort content
Happy to provide.
you can absolutely repulse the skewer rail(unless a ninja patch changed that). timing is difficult, but it also gives the return to sender medal like the rocket launch
Myth: the hook will be able to grab to the grenades thrown in the air, or to the shot of the roket, or of the skewer (they need many people to be able to hit it).
damn I hadnt heard ronald jenkees in ages, legendary
Head stuck in the ground. 😂That's new to me.
I'm absolutely certain you can shoot grenades out of the air but it's only with automated weapons as whenever I blew them up it was always with a automatic
6:46 lets go im in the vid, just gotta put it at 0.25 speed and pause it at the perfect time
I love the revisit! Skewer & Nades just felt wrong (still do) but makes at least now I’ll sleep easy.
That is…except for the fact that a frag nade shocked mid-air does still have a shocking animation….*what does this mean*…..
I like how the mythbuster series is just extended bug testing for 343
So the only time I got remote detonation, it wasn't near any grenade spawns. Maybe it has something to do with the grenade not being in the air yet, like shooting it at just a perfect time where the spartan is mid-throwing animation and you shoot it while it's still in their hand?
I think some testing needs to be done on grenades interactions with each other. Like a frag thrown at an already thrown shock nade or plasma
I feel the skewer one is less being killed by the skewer but more the skewer causes the vehicle to explode and the explosion kills you.
you should test if it’s possible to kill the spartans during the outtro with either timed grenades or rockets.
One more idea with Remote Detonation; what if you shoot the grenade after it bounces?
I know this is going to be pretty much impossible to test, but I got a remote detonation not by shooting at grenades on a spawn pad. I had to go into theater to see what happened because I was confused at first. I was using the new Mangler and what happened was an enemy killed my friendly teammate with an energy sword and while trying to shoot at him I incidentally hit a grenade that was falling from my then dead teammate's corpse. The explosion then killed the enemy with the energy sword before the grenade hit the ground. And for what it's worth, not being able to shoot thrown grenades mid air wasn't something they changed in Halo: Infinite. You couldn't do it in Halo 5 either. If you do some digging really far back it was one of the things they changed after the Halo 5 Beta. I remember reading the notes from after the beta concluded and thinking "Well that's dumb."
Perhaps try shooting a grenade after its first bounce, as maybe the game doesn’t consider it ‘armed’ until then?
Otherwise, I wonder if indestructible grenades are a bug since they behave differently when they’re on the ground but don’t reward the medal unless they’re on a pad. It just makes sense to me that they ought to be destructible any time but only reward the medal on thrown or pad grenades.
Ok, You probably don't need to do a re-redo, but I think if the grenade is getting thrown at you that could cause it to explode if shot. I have seen my bullets hit grenades and seen both reactions (nothing and explosion). Great videos!
I love these videos
Remote detonations also happen when you blow up stuff like a warthog or any other vehicles which no one is on but the resulting explosion kills an enemy (80% sure about this)
Keep doing these videos
I think you have to shoot the grenade back at the enemy spartan to get the remote detonation. I just got remote detonation on a ranked game pretty much immediately after one of my opponents chucked a grenade and he ended up exploding.
Can you grapple someone who has already grappled something/someone else? What if you have a ring of people all grapple each other? What happens if you have a ring of people grapple each other and there is an obstacle in the middle of the ring (like a tower or something)? If that obstacle is tapered, does the ring of grapples constrict and pull everyone to the top of the obstacle? If you have a long line of grapples, does every additional grappler move faster and faster because of the grapples in front all moving faster? Can you grapple thrown grenades or rockets? Can you grapple the tank barrel while the driver whips it around to give you more momentum?
You have to bounce the grenade atleast once IIRC, it was something they added to stop situations of grenades exploding in your face, since nade play is pretty core to halo.
You can do it in a training match quickly if you wanna, just toss one at your feet and BR it out of the air.
Tell a lie, it doesn't - throwing it at my feet made it explode faster than say bouncing it off a wall, from my feet it'd just bounce one and det and off a wall it bounced like 2-3 times delaying it - It just really looked like you were popping it with your gun.
I did find out that you can still use a sticky to propel another sticky foward still, completely impractical but great clip potential if you use it to launch one into someones face.
funny bug would be you can get a default standing animation when trying to sit/entering into a vehicle like a mongoose and let a plasma tank fall down by using scroll wheel at the same time. No clue if it has any side effects except looking funny and not being able to shoot.
