Grenade Mechanics

Grenades are small explosives that are thrown by hand or launched by a grenade launcher. This page will cover the in-game mechanics of throwable grenades in Frontlines: Pacific.
==Grenade stats==
Grenades have four unique stats
*Vehicle damage = Damage against vehicles (separate from the Damage stat)
*Blast radius = Damage radius of grenades
*Throw velocity = How far the player throw the grenade
*Fuse time = How long before the grenade explodes when activated
==Carrying limit==
The max number of grenades the player can carry are 2 grenades (including secondary grenade) but in the Dev version of Frontlines: Pacific the player can carry 9 primary grenades and 9 secondary grenades.
==Cooking==
"Cooking grenades" is a technique of activating the grenade fuse a few seconds before being thrown, causing the grenade to explode before the enemy could flee from/throwback said grenade. In the game, this is done by holding G on primary grenades, throwing is done by releasing the G key.
If the player fails to throw a grenade before the fuse activate, the grenade will activate in the players hand. This will cause most grenades to kill the user instantly.
==Secondary Grenades==
Secondary Grenades are grenades located in the Secondary Grenade slot and are thrown using the H key. Cooking is disabled for secondary grenades since fuses only activate when thrown.
