Best Grenades

Best All-Rounder Grenade

The G-12 High Explosive is your defeault grenade, and without a doubt the best overall grenade in the game. The relatively longer fuse time gives player a correction window in case a grenade is mistakenly thrown their way.

Best Grenade for Bug Holes and Fabricators

Weapon	Damage	Outer Radius	Fuse Time	Cost
G-16 Impact	400	7	0.0s	20 Medals

The G-16 Impact is a slight upgrade from the G-12 in the sense that it no longer has any fuse time. It will explode upon impact making it an ideal grenade for closing bug holes and blowing up fabricators.

Best Grenade for Escape and Cover

Weapon	Damage	Outer Radius	Fuse Time	Cost
G-3 Smoke	0	5	2.4s	25 Medals

The G-3 Smoke grenade does no damage, however when used correctly, this gives you and your squad a way to make a speedy retreat under a smokescreen. This also makes for a good ambush grenade.

List of Other Grenades

Weapon	Damage	Outer Radius	Fuse Time	Cost
G-6 Frag	250	8	2.4s	2 Medals
G-10 Incendiary	150	7	2.9s	25 Medals
