The Wonders of Frag Grenades

[Setokaiva[IVL]]

Anyone else love these things? I managed to snag about 3 of them from stupid-ass raiders who thought they could take me on; good thing, too, because they REALLY saved my ass about a half hour ago. Here's why.

It started off as an electrical short, discharging power as usual while causing a large fire right in my wind turbine farm. I sent my grenadier out (he has the Trigger-Happy perk so he throws frags really fast) to tear that fire a new one (since explosives put out fires). That was all well and good, but then... THEN... a Psychic Wave hits, causing a mass stampede of about 20 Wild Boar to rampage on my poor colony of only 8 turrets all at once. They came from two sides, managing to catch quite a few of my guys and severely wound them, and almost managed to kill off my Empath. What saved her was my grenadier, making a PERFECT throw with a frag grenade and landing it right on top of 4 of the boars that had just entered melee range. All of them were instantly incapacitated! If he had been even one cell off, I'd be minus a colonist right now. But no, he took care of 1/5th of the enemies by himself. With one grenade. ^^  By the luck of the Gods, I suffered no lost colonists or even any unrepairable injuries from that attack.

I am going to adopt grenades in way more strategies from now on, methinks!

if you have problems, your not applying enough grenades.
