Grenade



Grenades, commonly known as Bombs and referred to in-code as Scavenger Bombs, are typically found in areas associated with Scavengers. They are small black orbs with a red center. When thrown, Grenades will instantly explode on impact, dealing significant damage and launching anything caught in the blast at high speeds. If the player is caught within the blast radius close to the Grenade, they will instantly be killed.

Grenades are effectively useless in close quarters and risky at mid-range due to the high risk of self-stunning or death from their explosion.

Grenades are useful when targeting large groups of creatures - particularly Scavengers, as their ability to carry explosives brings the potential for chain-explosions. When traveling, carrying Grenades in the Slugcat's stomach can be useful for avoiding accidental detonations. Creatures can also be launched into pits due to the high stun and knockback.

Grenades are very unstable and will detonate soon after being hit by a rock or a spear, even while carried by the player or other creatures. They also detonate immediately when caught in the blast radius of an explosion.
