'''Fragmentation grenades''', or more commonly known as '''frag grenades''', or just '''frags''', are grenades in [[The Conduit]] based off of real world weapons. A frag grenade is about the size of a tennis ball and thrown at enemies to injure or kill them. It is commonly a green color and has a small part jutting out the top for the pin and the handle of the grenade. When thrown, its explosion is able to kill more than one enemy at a time. It can be bounced off of certain terrain, which make them a good strategy for killing enemies behind cover. In the real world frags use shrapnel to kill targets, in the game the range of the shrapnel is greatly reduced to make multiplayer an even field of combat. |

Fragmentation grenades, or more commonly known as frag grenades, or just frags, are grenades in The Conduit based off of real world weapons. A frag grenade is about the size of a tennis ball and thrown at enemies to injure or kill them. It is commonly a green color and has a small part jutting out the top for the pin and the handle of the grenade. When thrown, its explosion is able to kill more than one enemy at a time. It can be bounced off of certain terrain, which make them a good strategy for killing enemies behind cover. In the real world frags use shrapnel to kill targets, in the game the range of the shrapnel is greatly reduced to make multiplayer an even field of combat.
In Conduit 2, it appears to be on fire and doesn't bounce on contact for the most part. This is most likely due to a tracer effect. The grenade also seems to do more damage, which seems logical, due to complaints of The Conduit's grenades being underpowered.
Real World Use
A frag grenade works by the pulling of a metal pin located at the top of the weapon and the release of the handle to the side. Once it has left the users hand it may bounce off an object and explode. The initial explosion actually causes minimal damage, however the metal casing of the grenade fragments (hence fragmentation grenade) sending lethal shrapnel around the explosion radius. The shrapnel can travel at a speed of 2000 feet per second and are extremely dangerous.
