The **Frag Grenade** is a Throwable that was added in v0.2.4 “*Frag out!*” update on February 8, 2018.

## Info

It is available to use in the fourth slot along with other throwables. It can be used by holding down left click to "cook" the grenade for 3 seconds (pulling the pin and holding it) and release it to throw it. To aim, you simply aim the crosshairs where you want it to go. It has a fuse of four seconds after the pin is pulled, after which it explodes; either in your hand, midair, or preferably on or very close to your target.

They can be found in Grenade Crates alongside Smoke Grenades and MIRV Grenades, as well as Snowballs during the Snow event, Strobes during the Desert event and 50v50 event.

## Strategies

* Late-game, in a small circle, spamming grenades may be useful to flush your enemy out of cover, for example, bushcamping. In situations like these, cooking is not efficient because your enemy is likely to have a good enough scope to see you from behind cover.
* If there are many players in one general area (i.e. Red House, Warehouse), throw a grenade in it and get out of there as fast as you can. This will take a huge chunk of health out of many players and if you have good armor and good guns, you can get back in and take them down for loot and kills.
* If in Duos or Squads you can cook the grenade and run at where your enemies are. This will knock off all of your health but it might kill both of your opponents, and you can just be revived.
* If someone throws a Smoke Grenade and is hiding in it, walk into the smoke and place a grenade inside the smoke, then leave. They won't know that you put a grenade inside the smoke and will end up with an explosive surprise!
* If you find a confined space (like a house) with lots of enemies, and you have both smoke grenades and frag grenades, throw them both into the house for quick kills.
* Since you can throw grenades over some obstacles, it is very effective to cook or spam grenades from behind cover like Rocks or Ammo Crates.
* If an enemy is hiding behind an obstacle, throw a grenade at them to flush them out of hiding. If they don't move, they die.
* One piece of shrapnel from a Frag Grenade does 20 damage, and 12 shrapnel blasts.
* Frag grenades damage explosive obstacles such as ovens, barrels and computer terminals. You can effectively start an explosive chain reaction with a well-thrown grenade.
* In 50v50, if you can get to the enemy side with grenades (MIRVs work too) early in the game, throwing them might trick the enemy into thinking that the grenades were thrown by someone on their team and might not avoid them.
* No one ever expects you to suicide bomb with a grenade. Generally, everyone assumes you're just cooking a grenade to throw at the last second and moves in super close so that no matter where you throw, it'll be far from yourself if you have any self-preservation to you. If your situation really does seem that grim, bait your enemies into close quarters by holding that pin out and see who gets the last laugh.
	+ In the Cobalt Map, if you are equipped with the Demo class, this tactic will be less lethal due to the Flak Jacket perk.
* If you're unlucky and could only bring a grenade for a gunfight, try to outplay your enemy by hiding behind a tree (or similar obstacle) as you cook a frag. Play ring around the rosie by edging around close to the tree as they simultaneously try to shoot you around the tree, and throw the grenade at them from behind the tree at the absolute last second. Close in with fists if necessary.

## Trivia

* When a player pulls the pin on the grenade, the safety lever does not get detached. In reality, the lever is what starts the fuse, and thus, the grenade would be unable to be "cooked", if it is never detached.
* It was the first Throwable to be added into the game.
* There is a secret feature that in the Woods Map, were grenades and Smoke Grenades' carrying capacity is doubled doubled.
* The grenade shown in-game is similar visually as the M67 fragmentation grenade, which is standard issue for the US armed forces.
* Besides during the Halloween event, the Frag Grenade has been retextured for the v0.3.2 "*Egg-stravaganza*" Easter event.
* Grenades now slide over the ice in the Snow Map making them go further. Great for trick shots!
* The Closer Perk allows players to throw Frag Grenades twice the distance of the normal throwing range.
* Teammates were able to damage one another with Frag Grenades up until the v0.7.0 "*Incursion recursion*" update.
