The Frag Grenade is a Gadget introduced in the 8.0.0 update. The Frag Grenade can be found and collected in Arena, Campaign, Multiplayer, and Deadly Games.
Use
The grenade can't reach very far distances. The grenade has a medium explosive range and does 73 hearts of damage, insta-killing most players with the exception of Adamant Armor, Berserk Cape players with their HP being 81.
To use it, press the grenade button on your screen to throw it, to hold the grenade, hold the button down until you want to throw it, then release. Once it is thrown into a solid wall, it could bounce.
Cost
It is no longer an ammo based weapon where you must buy more. Instead, you start out with it and can upgrade it to do more damage, and has a cooldown of 15 seconds
Players could also receive Frag Grenades for free in batches of 3 in the Lucky Chest.
15
were equivalent to 5 grenades.
This was equivalent to 3 per grenade.
After 1.0.2.1 you had to pick them up or earn them from lucky crates
Upgrades
- Frag Grenade Up1
- Frag Grenade Up2
Trivia
- They are based off the MK 2 Grenade, sometimes called the "Iron Pineapple".
- They were the only pick up to be an explosive weapon.
- Although they say they have a 1.8 second detonation time, you can hold it for more than that and the time is for how long it takes to detonate once it is thrown.
- They can be used to Rocket Jump like with the other explosive weapons. In the case of the grenades, though, players have to wait for the grenade to explode after it is thrown. However, this can be difficult to perform, as the grenade may detonate in a random corner or it may kill you, which makes it not recommended to use grenades as a rocket jumper.
- They do not explode faster even they are thrown into a fire source.
- After update 9.0.0 of Pixel Gun 3D, they are significantly less bouncy, and the throws are more easily controlled.
- As you level up, the grenade gets upgraded. There are 5 upgrades. However, in recent updates, you must upgrade them for about 50
each. - It became a pick-up along with the other gear items in the 10.2.0 update of Pixel Gun 3D.
- However, it was reintroduced as a non-pick-up in the 11.1.0 update.
- Shooting a thrown grenade will not cause it to explode.
- For some odd reason, if you were to throw a grenade at one of the golems at the last level in campaign, they will survive the blast.
- The maximum amount of grenades a player can hold is ten, unless they receive grenades from the Lucky Chest.
- In the 11.1.0 update, it became a gadget.
- Also it became upgrade-able in the same update, reminiscent of its old level-based upgrade system.
