Grenades give you many opportunities to disrupt enemies, throw them around, or kill them outright. This category also offers Proximity Mines, giving you even more dirty tricks to draw upon

PROXIMITY MINE

		Proximity Mines are one of
		the deadliest choices in your
		“grenade” repertoire. You
		lose the ability to deploy the
		weapons on the fly. Instead,
		you must anticipate enemy
RANGE:	THROWING DISTANCE
		activity and deploy the
COST:	800
		weapons ahead of time. That

isn’t as hard as it sounds. People are somewhat predictable creatures, especially on maps where the goals are quite clear.

Approaches to major weapon locations, chokepoints, and corners are all ideal for Proximity Mine deployment. Some players will take Explosive Awareness, which is critical to helping a team avoid these traps.

If you’re going to use Proximity Mines, consider going all out. Take the Prox Mines gadget and Explosives Expert. Combined, these make for a cruel demolitionist.

FLASH GRENADE

		Flash Grenades are free.
		Everybody starts with them,
		and they’re still rather
		useful. People lose their
		sight for a few moments after
		the explosion, and that gives
RANGE:	THROWING DISTANCE
		you time to find new cover,
COST:	FREE
		rush in for a takedown, or

escape entirely. Most human players are smart enough to seek full cover as soon as a Flash Grenade detonates, even if it hits them. Thus, you won’t get too many free kills without additional work. Targets will hide and wait for the effect to wear off before they show themselves.

Use your time wisely. Don’t remain in the same spot doing the same thing as when the grenade blew up. Sow confusion as quickly as you can to gain the greatest advantage.

FRAG GRENADE

		Fragmentation Grenades are
		quite common in the single-
		player part of the game. You
		should be quite comfortable
		with them before long.
		These devices explode and
RANGE:	THROWING DISTANCE
		deliver a fair bit of damage
COST:	500
		to people standing close to

them. Those farther out aren’t likely to get killed, but they’ll still take some damage.

One perk beyond this damage is that people are blown out of their cover briefly. Pick off the wounded targets as quickly as possible. They aren’t dumb enough to stay in the open for long!

SMOKE GRENADE

		These are the least lethal
		type of grenade. They’re
		useful for sneaky characters
		and takedown specialists.
		It’s harder for both sides
		of a fight to fire effectively
RANGE:	THROWING DISTANCE
		through the smoke. Thus,
COST:	300
		people who are moving

instead of fighting get the most benefit. Charge through open areas after deploying smoke, or use the time to close the gap with short-range enemies.

TEAR GRENADE

		Tear Grenades are more
		disruptive than Smoke
		Grenades, but they don’t
		cover as wide an area.
		Instead of giving the
		thrower cover, consider
RANGE:	THROWING DISTANCE
		them a means to take away
COST:	300
		opportunities from a single

target or small group. Instead of trying takedowns, you would normally pair Tear Grenades with a high-fire-rate weapon. Disrupt the targets and then pepper them with gunfire.

CONCUSSION GRENADE

		In many ways, Concussion
		Grenades are easier to use
		than even Frag Grenades.
		These weapons disable
		targets so badly that they
		can’t retake cover or defend
RANGE:	THROWING DISTANCE
		themselves for a short time.
COST:	500
		Good short- or medium-

range attackers can score kills quite easily by throwing Concussion Grenades and preying on anyone who can’t get out of the way.

Remember to hold onto the grenades until late in the throw. You want the device to detonate almost as soon as it lands.
