Grenade

Grenades are explosive consumable ranged / throwing weapons which can be purchased from the Demolitionist for each, or found rarely in natural Chests. Once Hardmode is activated, they can be found in Pots (replacing Shurikens).
A thrown Grenade will bounce slightly and roll until it either hits a valid target or 3 seconds have elapsed, after which it will explode.

== Notes ==
* Grenades do ranged damage, and thus the base damage of 60 is increased by any ranged damage modifier. Ranged armor set bonuses apply as well; e.g. the Frost Armor, which causes Grenades to inflict the Frostburn debuff.
* Grenades do throwing damage, so ranged armor set bonuses will not apply. Throwing armor set bonuses will, however.
* Grenades damage all enemies within a radius of approximately 5 tiles.
== Tips ==
* Grenades are extremely useful early-game, dealing enormous damage for such an easy weapon to acquire.
* Because Grenades automatically explode when they hit an enemy, using them as short-ranged weapons is risky as they can easily cause self-inflicted damage.
* As Grenades do splash damage, they can be useful against a large number of different enemies:
** The Brain of Cthulhu's first phase.
**The Wall of Flesh and The Hungry.
** Most worms: A single Grenade is usually enough to kill a Bone Serpent and sometimes a World Feeder.
** Groups of enemies, e.g. during events like the Blood Moon or Goblin Army or in the Dungeon.
* Using Grenades against a Caster AI enemy is especially inadvisable. A Grenade can easily explode upon hitting one of the enemy's projectiles, often much closer to the player than anticipated.
== Trivia ==
* The sprite is very similar to the American , a grenade produced since 1968.
* Despite the similarities in name, it cannot be used as ammo for the Grenade Launcher, as it consumes rockets.
