Grenade mechanics

[Andwari 10]

Hello,

can anyone explain the mechanics of the grenades to me? They seem quite rare and when I finally find one I want to be sure how they work to not waste it or blow myself up.

 

Well they work by throwing, yeah. But how is their behaviour when thrown? Can I take a can for example and throw it? Will it come close to the grenade?

 

Other very important thing: can I arm it and keep it in my hand until it explodes? Because that would be very useful to release the safety, then count, .. 21,.. 22,.. 23,.. and throw, so the grenade is exploding on impact (or very shortly after) and not like "oh one threw a nade through the window, let's take the back door we have like more than enough time."

 

I ask, because i saw a video on youtube, which could not answer my question but the guy threw his grenade and it exploded like 10 sec later, which in combat is like too long.

 

 

Thanks for your answers

Place it in your hand, scroll and activate (aka pull the pin) and then instantly throw that thing away before it blows up in your hand. The detonation is quite instable atm, sometimes it explodes at 5 sec sometimes at 10. Just make sure you leg it like Forrest Gump after you throw it!

Are these on stable currently? If so they're super rare, because I haven't found any, and I've been looting everywhere since .46 went stable. I gave up, just figured they're bugged like the helo crash sites.

Today's update will introduce even more bugs, but grenades are really useless now, they do not bounce of the walls, throwing animations is terrible, and they are bugged, sometimes do not explode at all. Explosion radius is also bugged. Everything is bugged. Don't look for them, not worth it.
