The Radiation Grenade is a type of grenade in The Conduit. It is also sometimes known as the Rad Grenade. It is of Drudge origin, as these species are the only ones who use it in the campaign mode.

When it explodes, it emits red pulses of radiation for a few moments, dealing damage over time to those nearby. This grenade can also be used as a sticky grenade that will attach itself to a player is they are hit directly with it when thrown, if stuck, the grenade does far more damage to the player than if they had simply been near the grenade when it was detonated. This may sound similar to the Plasma Grenades of the Halo series, but they still operate as grenades while radiation grenades drain the player of energy over time by continuously emitting radiation.

The radiation grenade is generally the best way to damage an Invader, as it only takes 4 or 5 well placed throws to take one down. They are strongly advised for these boss battles, since the radiation pulses from a single, well-placed grenade can kill paramites as the Invader creates them and make it easier to land hits on the Invader with other weapons.

An interesting note is that, even if a player is hit with a Radiation Grenade at full health, then gets a first-aid kit right before they die, their health will replenish entirely, but the grenade will still be stuck on the player, and their health bar will deplete a second time, and will still kill the player.

Other relations

  • The Radiation grenade can be compared to a "bio warfare bomb" in real life, where the bomb has radiation in it or a virus/sickness that is released when the bomb explodes.
  • The grenade can also be compared to a Semtex grenade in reality, as it can stick to any surface, the only difference being what is contained in the grenade.
