Granada incendiaria

Tipo

### Descripción

La **granada incendiaria** es una de las armas arrojadizas desbloqueables para el artillero. Esta granada detona una bola de fuego, y que tiene un aspecto muy similar al arma alemana conocida como *stielhandgranate* (granada de mano pegajosa), empleada comúmnente en las dos Guerras Mundiales. El mango es más largo que el contenedor de la carga, y este tiene un distintivo color naranja brillante.

En lugar de generar una explosión, la granada incendiaria cubrirá una zona en llamas, con una forma vagamente circular alrededor de su detonación. El efecto de fuego se comporta de manera similar a las llamas adherentes del lanzallamas, quedándose en el suelo y dañando a las criaturas que pasen por encima de ellas. Además, también elevará la temperatura de las mismas, causando una combustión espontánea si la temperatura aumenta demasiado. Los enemigos golpeados por la explosión inicial arderán inmediatamente. Es importante recordar que la granada solo explotará al golpear el suelo, rebotando en otras superficies como paredes u obstáculos colgantes.

La granada incendiaria es una gran elección para el control de grupo de criaturas. Es especialmente poderosa frente a grupos de enemigos pequeños terrestres, como los invasores glífidos, que suelen morir en el mismo instante que tocan las llamas. Esta granada se puede emplear para crear "cuellos de botella" y para mantener buenos ángulos de ataque, forzando a los glífidos a arrastrarse a través del fuego para atacarte, y recibiendo mucho daño en el proceso. The flames last for approximately eight seconds and cover a wide radius of over four metres, making this the Gunner's premiere crowd control choice. It works great with other classes' grenades which can lure enemies together into a tight group, such as the Scout's Pheromone Canister or the Engineer's L.U.R.E..

It must be noted however that this grenade deals no direct damage whatsoever. Even enemies who are directly hit with the grenade, while instantly combusting, will only take tick fire damage from the flames on the ground and while burning after leaving the fire circle. While this is usually enough to take care of anything the size of a Glyphid Grunt or smaller, enemies bigger in size such as Glyphid Praetorians will have little trouble standing up to the heat. Glyphid Dreadnoughts in particular are extremely resilient to this grenade's effects due to their natural fire resistance. And as with most grenades, this Throwable is completely useless against flying enemies like Mactera Spawn who can easily dodge the grounded flames.

### Uso y estrategias

* As mentioned earlier, this grenade excels at controlling areas. Throw it down tight chokepoints to deal massive damage to enemies forced to crawl through the fire.
* You can throw this grenade down the purple tunnels Glyphid Swarmers like to crawl out of to burn them out, near-instantly killing anything that may try to assault your team.
* Be advised that due to the large radius and instant fiery explosion, this grenade is capable of causing considerable team damage. Ensure that none of your dwarven allies are nearby before tossing this grenade, as it can quickly bring them harm just as fast as it can towards enemies.

### Información adicional

* Traces of a "Molotov" grenade were present in an early version of the game. It is likely these ideas blossomed into the Incendiary Grenade, which is more comparable to modern firebombs than the traditional molotov cocktail.
