Throwing smoke grenades.....

Recommended Posts

People don't realize how useful these things are, while the movement coverage isn't huge. They are still very beneficial, I started picking up more than one about a week ago, otherwise I would always just have one in my inventory. I was at the NW airfield with my buddy when we ran into one of the hangars and started taking shots, we sat there for a while until I threw a smoke out front to get rid of zeds in the hangar. He wanted to use the smoke as cover and i said no I have 5 on me lets wait till I throw at least 3, I throw three and we move all the way to the industrial area safely. we took a couple blind shots through the smoke while we moved up just to make noise. From the top of the industrial building I see someone go into the barracks, not sure if theyre still there or wanting to move in because there are AS50's and DMRs across the field I throw a smoke into the barracks and as zombies flock to the smoke, shots ring out from the barracks, and he runs straight to us. Thanks for that as50 and m4sd buddy, all thanks to smoke grenades

I've used them before a few times to break away from a contact, and once as a reference to guide a mate to where I was waiting for him on the edge of town. Last time was 2 guys that got the drop on me. 1 smoke, and a frag to make them think twice, and I was outta there.

don't forget to mention that you can collapse a building by throwing some smokes in it. I tried multiple times and for me it didn't work, but I saw a buddy doing it. I have it on tape if you like to see that?

Yeah I just tried this today, on the airstrip, and they particularly like the green smoke

I almost killed myself once with a smoke grenade.

It was on my very first life, and I was inside of one of those tiny metal warehouses with two doors on opposite sides with the catwalk going around the inside. I found a grey smoke grenade in the little room at the end of the catwalk, and I accidentally threw it, collapsing the room I was in along with half the building. I got knocked unconscious in the fall and it took about 30 seconds to get back up.
