Grenade

grenade is a miscellaneous item in item asylum. It is a M67 hand grenade, referencing the HE grenade from CS:GO.
== Functionality ==
Upon use, the user pulls the pin from the grenade before raising their arm into a throwing position. This temporarily disables the user's toolbar. The user can hold the grenade in this position indefinitely. Using the item again throws the grenade towards the user's cursor at roughly 200 studs per second. If uninterrupted, it will roll a short distance before eventually coming to a stop. If grenade is unequipped after being readied, it falls out of their hand directly onto the ground. A four second long fuse immediately starts the moment it leaves the user's hand, whether thrown or dropped.
Upon detonation, the grenade creates a 30 stud diameter blast radius. It deals 150 damage at the epicentre, falling off to 0 damage 8 studs before the edge of the blast. Anyone who receives more than 50 damage will be ragdolled and knocked away from the explosion. Anyone who receives more than 25 damage will only be knocked away from the explosion. Any damage less than this simply applies hitstun. It is possible for the blast to deal 0 damage but still apply hitstun.
The grenade takes 10 seconds to regenerate once it leaves the user's hands. In TC, the cooldown is doubled.
== Tips ==
* As the item's tooltip helpfully suggests, throwing it into a crowd of players is a good way to rack up a few kills while they are distracted.
** The grenade is powerful enough to stop players from defending/capturing the statue in TC mode. Just remember to not get too close to where it lands.
* If a player is actively chasing you, the grenade will be mostly ineffective, especially if they can see it coming. However, strategic placement of the grenade can help zone out an enemy.
** Unequipping the item will drop the grenade at your feet. Unless whoever is chasing you can use their ranged weapon effectively, this will buy you some breathing room.
** On smaller maps, it is entirely possible to throw the grenade into a choke point to create a trap for chasing players.
* If you unequip while holding the grenade, you will drop the grenade. This is a good sneak attack if you're above your opponent (ex: construct) or a good move when you need to prevent the grenade from falling into the void (ex: smallplate). The same strategy works for other grenade items such as holy hand grenade and silly gas.

== Trivia ==
*In the April Fools 2023 update, the grenade was made much larger and given extreme knockback, at the cost of only doing 2 damage.
== Changes ==
* v1.5.0
** Increased cooldown from 6 seconds to 10 seconds.
** Cooldown is now doubled during TC rounds.
* v1.3.0
** Now a miscellaneous item.
** Explosion effects updated.
** No longer held with an outstretched arm. Instead, when equipped, it stays in the user's palm.
** Clicking causes the user to prepare a throw. Clicking again causes the grenade to be thrown. Unequipping the item causes the user to drop it.
** Damage massively increased. Now deals 150 at the centre of its blast, dropping off over a 30 stud range to 0 damage.
** Ragdolls those caught in the blast, and hitstuns those at the edge of the blast.
** Sounds updated to use CS:GO sounds as it bounces.
** Less likely to roll at long range.
* v1.2.1
** Made the model larger.
** Dealt 2 damage and did extreme knockback.
* v0.6.0
** Added grenade as a ranged item.
