Grenade
Grenade Skills are Crossbow attacks with cooldown uses and a fuse. They bounce along a terrain-dependent trajectory and normally detonate when the fuse expires. Most can be detonated early by contact with a Detonator Skill, and Grenades cannot Fork or Chain.Catalog version 0.5.4d
No direct 0.5 patch change is linked to this page. The displayed values are current for catalog version 0.5.4d.
What Grenade does
Current rulesEquip a Crossbow, fire the Grenade where the target will be when its fuse ends, and use a Detonator Skill when you need the explosion sooner. Cooldown Recovery Rate controls how quickly uses return. Detonation Time controls the fuse. Projectile count controls how many Grenades are fired, while the individual Grenade Skill determines its damage, area, secondary effect, and whether it leaves gas, oil, mini Grenades, or another payload.
- Grenades require a Crossbow
- Grenade Skills are usable only while wielding a Crossbow. They are a separate Crossbow skill family from Ammunition Skills and do not use the Ammunition reload loop.
- Cooldown and fuse are separate timers
- A Grenade Skill spends a cooldown use when fired. Its Grenades then remain in the world until their fuse ends or another valid interaction detonates them. Cooldown Recovery Rate does not shorten Detonation Time.
- Aim for the future target position
- Grenades travel, bounce, and wait for their fuse before exploding. Their path is strongly affected by terrain, so walls, ledges, and uneven ground can change where they stop.
- Multiple Grenades vary slightly
- When one use fires multiple Grenades, their travel distance has a small random variation. Content Update 0.2.0 added this variation and reduced the spread of multi-projectile Grenade Skills except Cluster Grenade.
- Grenades cannot Fork or Chain
- Although Grenades are Projectiles, they cannot Fork or Chain. Modifiers to Grenade projectile count, travel, speed, bounce, or landing behaviour must explicitly apply through another rule.
- Most Grenades can detonate early
- A Detonator Skill that reaches a Grenade can normally make it explode before its fuse ends. This changes the timing, not the Grenade Skill's own damage type or secondary effects.
- Detonation Time is not Skill Effect Duration
- Modifiers to Detonation Time change when a timed explosive detonates. Ordinary duration modifiers do not change Detonation Time unless their wording separately modifies the relevant timer.
- Each Grenade has its own payload
- Explosive Grenade deals a Fire explosion, Flash Grenade focuses on Blind and Stun, Voltaic Grenade enables Electrocution buildup, Gas Grenade creates flammable Poison gas, Oil Grenade covers enemies and ground in Oil, and Cluster Grenade releases mini Grenades.
