Grenades

Grenades is one of the several different types of research items. This research item costs 8 BP.
__TOC__
== Description ==
Building the grenade upgrade station will allow all marines to throw free concussion grenades (Planetary Campaign description).
* Marines get anti-swarm grenades
* Strong vs. crowds and barriers
* Slows down ammo recharge by 50%
Grenades research equips marines with the ability to intermittently hurl grenades in an area-of-effect burst, eliminating bugs. Previously, one drawback surfaces as marines forfeit the ability to fire rockets ('G' key), but that is no longer the case. Currently, Marines make automatic use of the grenades when available, while keeping the Rockets ability for buildings.
== Usage ==
Previously, Grenades research was a default choice; however, its transformation into a more specialized upgrade demands careful evaluation. While it significantly enhances marine crowd control, the trade-off of losing anti-building rockets necessitates consideration. If rocket usage isn't pivotal or if alternative anti-building measures are available, Grenades research remains a prudent selection. This strategy, for instance, entails deploying grenades to incapacitate enemies while utilizing rockets to target structures.
