Grenade
From Team Fortress Wiki
Grenades are a type of weapon in the Team Fortress series. To use them, a key (usually g or F) must be held down. As soon as the key is hit, a timer will begin. After four seconds, the grenade will explode, even if the player is holding it. The grenade can be released by depressing the grenade key. Unlike other games, you can still fire, reload and switch weapons while cooking the grenade, which makes grenades very useful.
Grenades have appeared in all games except Team Fortress 2.

[edit] Types
There are two types of grenade; primary and secondary.
[edit] Primary
The primary grenade is the grenade activated by hitting the "G" key in TFC and ETF. Almost every class' primary grenade is the Frag Grenade. The only exception is the Scout, which has Caltrops. In ETF and pre-2.9 versions of QWTF, the Scout used the Flash Grenade.
[edit] List of Primary grenades
- Frag Grenade (all except Scout)
- Flash Grenade (ETF and old QWTF Scout)
- Caltrop (Scout)
[edit] Secondary
The secondary grenade slot is used for grenades that are specialized for a certain class. For example, the Demoman and Heavy have the MIRV Grenade, which releases a cluster of bomblets when it explodes, while the Spy has the Gas Grenade, which releases a hallucinogenic gas when it "detonates". In most cases, classes do not have as many secondary grenades as they have primary.
[edit] List of Secondary grenades
- Concussion Grenade (Scout and Medic)
- MIRV Grenade (Demoman and heavy)
- Nail Grenade (Soldier)
- EMP Grenade (Engineer)
- Napalm Grenade (Pyro)
- Flash Grenade (ETF Sniper)
- Gas Grenade (Spy)
- Flare (QWTF Sniper)
[edit] Team Fortress 2
- Article on tf2wiki.net: Grenades
Throwable grenades were originally in Team Fortress 2, but were cut due to game balance reasons. Their untextured models are still in the game. In addition, each class' .ctx file mentions their primary and secondary grenade.
