Inactive:

“ Use this item to pull the pin, turning it into an active grenade. You will then have five turns before it explodes; throwing it would be a good idea. ”

Active:

“ This grenade is active, and will explode any second now. Better throw it! ”

Notes

• Explodes in 5 turns after activated.
• Basic blast is a 3x3 blast dealing 36 damage at the origin.
• Total damage dealt is contained within a 5x5 radius.
• Creates noise with a volume of 120.
• Doesn't light fires.
• Most of the damage is dealt by its 28 shrapnel shards that fire between 1 and 2 squares away from the explosion site, each dealing 20-60 points of damage.
• Can be thrown blind around corners. wield the explosive, pull the pin, and peek (X) around the corner (in the sidebar a new option 'Press t to blind throw' should show up). Press throw and select the square you want to throw at, and throw the explosive around the corner.
• Don't let the grenade fool you — it is not a lifesaver on its own! It creates a very loud noise and doesn't do too much damage. A zombie has 80 HP - 36 dmg at origin and 40 random shrapnel damage equals 76 that leaves zombie with 4 HP. Grenades are, however, great to soften up crowds or when you have plenty of them to throw.
