Grenades are the ammunition used the by the Grenade Launcher in BioShock, and the ammunition used by the Launcher in BioShock 2. The "Frag Grenades" featured in BioShock are crude IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) consisting of tin cans filled with explosives, while the Grenades in BioShock 2 are professionally manufactured ordinance, consisting of an actual grenade encased in a rocket shell. There are three different types of grenades.

Proximity Mines are an alternate ammunition for the Launcher.

These are effectively used as land-mines, staying primed and ready until an unwitting victim walks too close.

Heat-seeking Rockets are an alternate ammunition for the Launcher.

These homing missiles are the perfect solution for moving targets, delivering a devastating payload even around corners!

Behind the Scenes[]

  • In the remastered version of BioShock, featured in BioShock: The Collection, part of the text on the sardine can reads: "There certainly seems to be a lot of tiny little type ADAM, here which we simply can't see well enough to duplicate accurately from the original low-rez game engine texture, [illegible]". This a note left by Blind Squirrel Games, the company behind the remastered version of the game.
