Grenadier (Rivals)

The Grenadier is a GDI common infantry squad unit in Command & Conquer: Rivals. 
== Description ==
The Grenadier has been a common sight is GDI armies since the very first Tiberium War. The modern Grenadier Squad is equipped with stielhandgranate-style grenades for increased range and EMP charged payload which can slow down even the largest enemy ground vehicles.
== Abilities ==
* 
* Reveals adjacent stealthed units.
* Attacks against vehicles slow their Attack Speed by 25% and Movement Speed by 60% for 0.7 seconds.
== Game unit ==
Grenadier squad excels at stopping vehicle threat. Not only do they have considerable damage output, they reduce movement speed of vehicles, which makes it difficult to escape once the grenades start falling. They are incredibly effective against most War Factory units and can stop even some Temple or Tech units in their tracks.
The rather sluggish movement speed of Grenadiers means they are not suited to chase down vehicles, but they do well on defense. If greater mobility is required, Jump jet troopers are a good alternative.
Ability to reveal stealthed units is a serious threat to the lightly armored Stealth tank.
Being specialty unit, Grenadiers are vulnerable to air and infantry. They will fall quickly to the anti infantry temple or tech units. To cover them, use Rhino, Pitbull or Wolverine.New unit showcase: Grenadier
Their substantial health allows Grenadiers to withstand anti-infantry fire from light aircraft and infantry for some time, but even then the supporting units should come to help as soon as possible.
