How to Cook Grenades

Frag Grenades can be cooked to alter the delay before it explodes in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (BO6). See how to cook grenades, the differences between cooking times, and if cooking works on Tactical Equipment.

How to Cook Grenades

Hold Down the Lethal Equipment Button Before Throwing

Cooking a grenade involves pulling the pin of a Frag Grenade and holding it for a few seconds before tossing it. Delaying when you throw the grenade shortens the time it explodes, giving your enemies less time to react and return it.

Does Not Work for Tacticals

Tactical equipment cannot be cooked as they are mostly used for utility. Grenades like the Flashbang have a fixed time before detonation when thrown.

Cooking Time Differences

Hold Longer for a Shorter Time to Explosion

You will want to practice the pacing of cooking your grenades. The longer you cook a grenade, the shorter the time until it explodes. This also means you can accidentally explode yourself if you are not careful.

There is no ideal cooking time for grenades as it depends on the distance of the target and situation. Sometimes you'll want a longer delay to bank a grenade, other times you'll want it to explode with minimal delay.
