Tactics[]
- Impact Grenades can be useful for taking out larger, more dangerous enemies quickly. Like Devastators, Scout Striders, Spewers and Brood Commanders.
- A Stun Grenade can stun Chargers. Players can then eliminate them with Orbital strikes, Airstrikes or powerful armor-piercing weapons without the possibility of missing in this state or drop an equipment pod on them to save ammunition. [1]
- Stun grenades can also stop a rushing Hulk Scorcher and interrupt their attacks, in this state Helldivers can line up a headshot with support weapons and take them out.
- Thermite Grenades got a significant buff on September 17th. They now deal 2000 damage instead of 750; more than double the damage! However, now Helldivers have to know when to use them to get the most value, as they only have 3 normally, and 5 with the correct armor passive. With the Hulk's and Charger's armor lowered, Thermite can now kill them in one grenade, making it incredibly useful.
- If used correctly, Pyrotech Grenades can be incredibly powerful. Acting similarly to Thermite grenades, they deal high armor penetration damage and can take down Factory Striders or Bile Titans.
