The Frag Grenade is a Light, Medium and Heavy class thrown gadget that creates an explosion that deals high damage.

Usage

The Frag Grenade can be selected as one of three gadgets of any Light, Medium or Heavy build loadout.

Holding the primary trigger will prepare a high-velocity overhand throw. Holding the secondary trigger will prepare a low-velocity underhand throw. While preparing a throw, the gadget's trajectory is indicated up to the point where it bounces off a surface (or up to its mid-air detonation point). Swapping to a different item will cancel the throw. Releasing the trigger throws the gadget.

Guide

Strengths

  • The Frag Grenade is very strong when thrown into a confined space.
  • The Frag Grenade is one of the strongest gadgets on Power Shift when attacking the platform. If the platform has an APS Turret, it should be thrown with a trajectory that avoids it.
  • A Frag Grenade can be hard to notice, especially under chaotic circumstances. It has no sound cue or visual warning.

Weaknesses

  • The APS Turret counters Frag Grenades. For example, it can be placed concealed near a doorway to prevent gadgets from being thrown through it.

Tactics

  • The Frag Grenade can be thrown around a corner by utilizing its bounce. This way, the targets cannot retaliate.

Item Mastery

Item mastery XP can be earned by damaging opponents with the Frag Grenade.

Each time a certain XP threshold is reached, the item levels up. This does not improve the item, but rewards a unique item customization.
