Grenades

• Players can carry up to four grenades of a single type in addition to their three weapons.
• Grenades can be thrown, planted in the ground as a proximity mine, or blind-tossed from behind cover.
• Only up to two grenades can be planted at once; planting a third grenade causes the first planted grenade to detonate.

Frag Grenade

Frag Grenades are the most common and most lethal of all of the grenade types. They deliver intense damage across a five-meter radius and are capable of killing multiple foes with a single explosion. Frag Grenades can be thrown with tremendous accuracy over considerable distances and offer a superb way of closing Swarm nests from afar (and many nests contain replenishment grenades). Hold the Aim Weapon button to bring up the targeting reticle and maneuver the trajectory path to hit your mark. Try bouncing the grenade off of walls or the ceiling to hit enemies behind cover. Frag Grenades make excellent proximity mines—plant them inside chokepoints to lure enemies to their death.

Incendiary Grenade

Incendiary Grenades are quite rare compared to Frag Grenades, but do come in handy against the Swarm. Incendiary Grenades don’t have nearly the damage radius as the Frag Grenade so you must hit your enemy directly to inflict any major damage. Incendiary Grenades will burn an enemy to death with a direct hit and can be used to deliver moderate damage to enemies over a small area, such as when they are taking cover behind the same object. Incendiary Grenades are best used against slower, larger creatures or Sniper and Hunter Drones that make the most use of cover.
