Details

Shred	• +1 with Weak Points Resistance Order.
Radius	• +1 when launched from Grenade Launcher. • +2 when launched from Advanced Grenade Launcher.
Range	• +4 when launched from Grenade Launcher. • +5 when launched from Advanced Grenade Launcher.

Time	• Bomb Squad: Completed instantly in Proving Grounds.

• Grenades are not as lethal as firearms but can damage multiple units and destroy cover and walls. They destroy most cover in one blast. Tougher terrain types such as monuments, trees and cars, however, require an additional frag grenade.
• Frags can cause fires to terrain. This can cause enemies to get the burning effect and take additional damage but might also ignite teammates in the area.
• If the explosion kills an enemy unit carrying loot, it will be lost (a corresponding message will appear on the screen).

Tips

• Throw a grenade at a pod at a start of an ambush.
• Throw a grenade to blow away enemy cover for easy follow-up shots from squad mates or blow the floor beneath elevated enemies to cause fall damage.
• Teammates in need of a promotion can sometimes land a killing blow this way, which is important at the start of a career.

Bugs

• If an ADVENT Soldier's loot is destroyed by a grenade and afterwards he is resurrected by a Sectoid, killing the Psi Zombie will result in that Zombie dropping the loot.
