The Smoke Grenade is a Light class thrown gadget that creates a cloud of smoke to block vision in an area.

Effects

The Smoke Grenade can be deployed by throwing it. The first time it impacts on a surface or contestant, it bounces away. On its second impact, it triggers to create a cloud of smoke that blocks vision in the area.

If the smoke cloud is near an active fire, the fire will be put out by the smoke.

Usage

The Smoke Grenade can be selected as one of three gadgets of any Light 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. Swapping to a different item will cancel the throw. Releasing the trigger throws the gadget.
