Grenade



Grenades are explosive consumable ranged /  throwing weapons which can be purchased from the Demolitionist for  each, or found rarely in natural Chests. Once Hardmode is activated, they can be found in Pots (replacing Shurikens).

A thrown Grenade will bounce slightly and roll until it either hits a valid target or 3 seconds have elapsed, after which it will explode.

Tips

 * Grenades are extremely useful early-game, dealing massive damage for such an easy weapon to acquire.
 * Because Grenades automatically explode when they hit an enemy, using them as short-ranged weapons is risky as they can easily cause self-inflicted damage.
 * As Grenades do splash damage, they can be useful against a large number of different enemies:
 * The Brain of Cthulhu's first phase.
 * Most worms: A single Grenade is usually enough to one-shot a Bone Serpent and sometimes a World Feeder.
 * Groups of enemies, e.g. during events like the Blood Moon or Goblin Army or in the Dungeon.
 * Using Grenades against a Caster AI enemy is especially inadvisable. A Grenade can easily explode upon hitting one of the enemy's projectiles, often much closer to the player than anticipated.

Trivia

 * The sprite is very similar to the American, a grenade produced since 1968.
 * Despite the similarities in name, it cannot be used as ammo for the Grenade Launcher.
