Grenade



Grenades are explosive consumable throwing weapons which can 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 from 1968 to the present.
