"A small handheld anti-personnel weapon designed to explode a short time after being thrown. Features damage rate for maximum destruction."

- Weapon description


Grenade is a basic throwing weapon available in CrossFire.

Description[]

As its name suggests, this is a small hand-held grenade that explodes a few seconds after being thrown. It's quite powerful, being able to kill off weakened enemies in one hit and its splash damage is fairly wide, dealing additional damages to anyone nearby. Grenades will bounce off walls and terrains so players must take into account when aiming for a specific spot.

In all CF versions, players will be given 2 free grenades upon creating their new account. An additional one can be bought from Item Shop, often costing 3000 GP each.

Strategies[]

The grenade in general is an effective weapon, but to gain kills might require much practice, skill, and/or luck. While it may be difficult, grenades can be tossed into snipers' camping position or enemies' hiding spots, and their options to escape are limited, which probably may score a Grenade Kill.

Grenades are much effective against a group of enemies, but a common forgotten tip is that the grenades bounce more often, even its throwing range might be longer than the players expected. The grenade has the highest chance to kill garrisoned soldiers in constricted positions, such as small scale structures. Grenades are more often used to damage or kill enemies around corners by bouncing the grenade off of a wall.

Grenades only deal 100 damage when landed directly below an enemy's feet unless he's armored, but is quite effective for wearing down enemies so they can be finished off with a few gunshots. Grenades are most effective if explode at its maximum throwing range as it gives little time to react and maximizes damage.

MK2 Grenade[]

Although not having an original variant, the MK2 Grenade is a separate grenade from the original variant as it has a pineapple-shaped model. They are only available as Ranked Match prize for players who completed the Season with the desired rank.

Variants[]

Trivia[]

  • The Grenade in CrossFire bears a close resemblance to the M67 Fragmentation Grenade made by the United States, although rather bulky. This fact was recently acknowledged with lots of newer reskin grenades being called M67-G followed by its skin name.
  • Interestingly, grenades are the only weapon in the game that damages the thrower and its allies, although killing allies with grenades is difficult. Often in friendly matches, teammates will throw grenades where friendly snipers are positioned, either accidentally or intentionally, and critically hurt them which allows enemies to easily finish them off.
    • Recent patches cause Grenade to behave differently against its thrower - now, it can only reduce thrower's HP down to 1, no matter how much HP they have in the beginning. This effectively makes grenade-suicide non-existence, although players can still be killed by teammates' grenades or vice-versa. It's still possible to suicide by grenade in CF China, CF Philippines and CF Russia, however.
    • It's sometimes ended up killing a teammate and the sloppy thrower gets vote-kicked out. Often happens in more serious matches filled with major expert players. Also, a teammate killed by grenade will resulting to add a death score, while a player who killed a teammate will not be counted as kills.
    • In Hero Mode X, grenades do not cause damage to you and other players, unlike in the classic Mutation Mode and variants where you can damage your teammates and perform grenade-suicide.
  • In small maps such as Egypt, Grenade Kills are more frequent to be scored since many players will throw grenades all over the place and smaller maps rendering players harder to dodge from grenades as well. Even if one survives an explosion, they will often be critically hurt as soon as they come out of the spawn.
  • There was a bug with special grenades (Purchased by cash, GP one won't work) that can kill teammates instantly if they are using 1-hit, recoil-less, or wallhacks. This makes "killing hackers" a funny and relaxing job, as you can sometimes score 3 to 4 kills if many of your teammates are hacking. It has been fixed quite some time ago.
  • CF Vietnam has fixed Grenade's sale price and players can only get 50 GP for selling a Grenade. This is presumably done to discourage farming new accounts to spin GP crates.
  • In CF Vietnam, around 2013, the pin pulling speed has been slowed down for unknown reasons. And this is only happening on most older Grenade variants that use the M67 models.
  • This grenade is also available in Battle Royale, but come with very high damage width. CF Vietnam (and other versions in future) also correctly named it as M67 Grenade. Also, in CF Vietnam, the pin pulling animation is not being slowed down like its normal counterpart.
  • In Training Camp, Grenades are provided endlessly during the Throwing Weapon Training Section, as when the player throws the grenade, another one will instantly reappear in the hands without any cooldown.
  • In Weapon Master, grenades supplied in Level 11 behaves similarly to the one found in Training Camp, as they're provided endlessly and instantly reappear in the player's hand once thrown. It also has fast pin pulling animation as well.
