The Frag Grenade, or Plasma Grenade, is a grenade available to all non-MAX classes. It is unlocked by default.

When thrown, frag grenades begin a 3 second fuse, and bounce off any surfaces they contact. Frag grenades deal heavy damage to standard infantry, and are capable of damaging MAXes, though can deal damage to no vehicles heavier than a Flash or Javelin. They inflict no status effects on hit targets.

Frag grenades deal 'common explosive' type damage, which is reduced by 50% by level 1 of Flak Armor.

To throw a grenade, press the Use Grenade hotkey (G by default). You will throw it using your right arm after a short animation.

History

• October 16, 2019 Update
  • VS/NC/TR grenades now have unique explosion effects.
  • VS Frag Grenade renamed "Plasma Grenade"
  • Minimum blast damage from 10 to 50
  • Dev Note: Frag Grenades often sting, but rarely kill. These damage changes increase the consistency of the explosive a bit more. The new explosion visuals are intended to add a bit more faction identity to each grenade.
