Description
"The classic frag grenade: throws nasty little bits of metal around, hurting everything."
Flavor Text
"I am sure you all played enough video games before the Outbreak, so you know perfectly well what a frag grenade is. And stop pretending that you didn't. No-one in here is going to believe you."
Technical Information
Damage (explosion) = 200.
Radius = 9m.
Explosion Falloff = 1 (linear).
Explosion spawns 10 shards, each shard does 50 points of damage, has speed of 40m/s and bounces off of the surfaces for 2 times.
Fuze Time = 2 seconds.
Damage Type = Explosive, Piercing (shard).
Weapon Powers:
Melee hit power (explosion) = up to 100.
Melee hit power (shard) = 100.
Stumble power (explosion) = up to 500.
Stumble power (shard) = 1000.
Strategy
The fragmentation grenade, in addition to its explosive blast (which is roughly the same as that of the HE Grenade), also sends out 10 fragments that bounce off walls and obstacles.
Much like the Support's shotguns, frags are most effective when employed in bottlenecks, especially tight corridors. The effect of a frag grenade in a hallway is devastating - in addition to the explosive blast, the fragments, rather than dispersing, will proceed to bounce around said hallway like sharp, deadly pinballs.
Trivia
- The Frag Grenade resembles an American Mk 2 "Pineapple" grenade, adopted in 1920. Although used mainly during WWII, they were produced in such large numbers that they saw widespread use until the 1960's, and many examples survive today.
