Grenade

Grenades are the ammunition used the by the Grenade Launcher in BioShock and the Launcher in BioShock 2. There are three different types of grenades.

Frag Grenades


The Grenade Launcher's frag grenades do high piercing damage with a large explosive radius, will ignite flammable objects, and are effective against all targets. They will bounce off objects and surfaces, and explode after a short delayed fuse or on impact with an enemy. Frag grenades can be bought and found in abundance, furthering increasing their versatile use.

Proximity Mines


The Grenade Launcher's proximity mines do high piercing damage with a large explosive radius, will ignite flammable objects, and are effective against all targets. They adhere to objects and surfaces, and explode when an enemy is in close proximity. Proximity mines can be bought and found in limited quantities.

Heat-Seeking RPG's


The Grenade Launcher's heat-seeking RPGs do high piercing damage with a large explosive radius, will ignite flammable objects, and are effective against all targets. They will seek enemies when fired and explode on impact. Heat-seeking RPGs can be found and manufactured in limited quantities.

Strategies

 * Heat-Seeking RPG's do fire damage, so equipping the Human Inferno Gene Tonics will increase damage substantially. Combined with Research bonuses, this attack will almost always result in a one-hit kill on normal Splicers, even on "Hard" difficulty.
 * Only ten Proximity Mines can be active at a time. As soon as an eleventh is placed, the rest will detonate.
 * A handy bomb can be made by sticking Proximity Mines to an object and throwing it using telekinesis. The bomb is best made with smaller objects, propane tanks are the best because they add an extra kick. this is a one hit kill on big daddys when used with 4 mines

Heat-Seeking RPG's
