A fragmentation grenade, or Frag Grenade for short, is a type of lethal grenade that releases high-speed fragmentations during the explosion to harm enemy infantry. These grenades may use either time fuse or impact fuse, and come in a variety of sizes. They are one of the most common grenades in a modern battlefield, and are often synonymous with Hand Grenades.

Frag Grenades had appeared in all games in the Battlefield series. The Frag Grenade is often the standard grenade available to players, and all use a timed fuse with a simple area-of-effect damage model.

Other fragmentation grenades in real life such as Impact Grenades or Mini Grenades are also depicted in Battlefield games, but they have slightly different properties to merit distinct categories.

Appearances

Trivia

Sprinting and/or jumping while throwing a grenade can help the player extend the throwing range, which will help them in killing targets from further away.

In many Battlefield titles, the player can pull the pin and hold the grenade for as long as needed to aim. The spoon will not be released—and thus the grenade's fuse will not arm—until the player throws the grenade, or is killed mid-throw and drops it.

If a player is killed while attempting to throw a grenade, the live grenade can kill the user's teammates. The player who killed the user will be credited with these kills.

With the Frostbite Engine and Destruction 2.0, grenades can cause slight ground deformation and destruction to light environment.

-The '''Hand grenade''' is a small, light-weight, timed explosive device. Grenades can inflict severe damage against infantry and other soft targets, but do not inflict much damage on armored vehicles such as [[Tank]]s. Most hand grenades used are fragmentation grenades, often abbreviated to "frags", which litter an area with shrapnel, inflicting severe damage on infantry and lightly armored targets. Another type of hand grenades is the Concussion grenade, which is - filled with High Explosives - more effective on armored targets but slightly less effective against infantry when compared to a fragmentation grenade, and are as such usually used by soldiers as a weapon against vehicles. Hand grenades have been featured in every ''Battlefield'' game to date.

-In ''Battlefield 1942'', '''Grenade'''s are issued to all classes, except the [[Engineer (Kit)|Engineer Kit]]. They can cause a large amount of damage over a large radius, easily killing infantry in a single blast, but it takes 3 seconds before detonating, so tracking a target is required to kill. Throwing them in bottle neck positions, such as bridges or in buildings, can easily clear a large amount of infantry.
+A '''fragmentation grenade''', or '''Frag Grenade''' for short, is a type of lethal [[grenade]] that releases high-speed fragmentations during the explosion to harm enemy infantry. These grenades may use either time fuse or impact fuse, and come in a variety of sizes. They are one of the most common grenades in a modern battlefield, and are often synonymous with '''Hand Grenades'''.
+Frag Grenades had appeared in all games in the ''Battlefield'' series. The Frag Grenade is often the standard grenade available to players, and all use a timed fuse with a simple [[Splash Damage|area-of-effect damage model]].
-They are also quite effective against vehicles. Only two grenades are needed to destroy light vehicles like a [[Willys MB]] or a [[Katyusha]], and the blast can also throw these vehicles off and deviate them. They are not so effective against tanks, but they can cause a substantial amount of damage if they explode under the tanks.
+Other fragmentation grenades in real life such as [[Impact Grenade]]s or [[Mini Grenade]]s are also depicted in ''Battlefield'' games, but they have slightly different properties to merit distinct categories.{{clear}}
-The grenades come in the Mk.II or Stielhandgranate variants, depending if the player is on the Allies or Axis respectively. The German and Italian Stielhandgranates will have German writing on them, whilst the Japanese ones will have Japanese kanji on them.

-==Battlefield Vietnam==
-{{Infobox/weapon

-[[File:BFV Grenade Toss.ogg]]}}In ''Battlefield Vietnam'', '''Grenade'''s are almost always issued to the [[Assault (Kit)|Assault Kit]] of any faction and an option for the [[Heavy Assault (Kit)|Heavy Assault Kit]] of the [[North Vietnam|NVA]]. The only exception is when the hand grenades are replaced by the XM148 grenade launcher on a CAR-15. They act as they do in ''Battlefield 1942''. The [[United States of America|Americans]] and [[South Vietnam]]ese use the Mk.II Hand Grenades, whilst the [[North Vietnam]]ese and [[Viet Cong]] use the M24 Stielhandgranate.
+*If a player is killed while attempting to throw a grenade, the live grenade can kill the user's teammates. The player who killed the user will be credited with these kills.
-Each Kit with hand grenades carries a maximum of 4 grenades.

-In ''Battlefield Vietnam''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s WWII mod, '''Grenade'''s are issued to the [[Assault]], [[Heavy Assault]], [[Scout]] and [[Flamethrower (kit)|Flamethrower]] kits. They have the same stats and performance from the base game, and use the same models; the NVA grenades are used by the Imperial Japanese Army, whilst the American grenades are used by the US Marines.

They are found on all Kits except the Assault Kit, which replaces them with an under-barrel grenade launcher, and the [[Anti-Tank (Kit)|Anti-Tank Kit]], which uses a rocket launcher instead. As the [[G3]] unlock for Assault has no grenade launcher, the Kit comes with grenades when it is used. They have the same stats for each team, as well as using the same model (an M67 Fragmentation Grenade).
-All Kits except the Assault and Anti-Tank Kits receives 4 grenades.

-In ''Battlefield 2142'', two '''FRG-1'''s are available as the first '''Player Ability''' Unlock. If a player has unlocked the "Extra Grenade" ability, they will have three grenades when spawn. They have a decent amount of power, they easily kill lightly armored infantry. Heavy armored infantry can still be killed by them, but they will need to be close to the blast radius. Both the [[European Union Army]] and the [[Pan-Asian Coalition Army]] use the same FRG-1 model for the hand grenade.

-==Battlefield: Bad Company==
-In ''Battlefield: Bad Company'', '''HG-2'''s are given to the Assault, [[Specialist (Kit)|Specialist Kit]] and [[Demolition (Kit)|Demolition Kit]]. It is a secondary weapon, so one must switch to it and then throw it. It inflicts high damage to infantry, often killing with a single grenade, but has relatively no effect to vehicles. With the amount and effectiveness of grenades, many players simply throw grenades at enemy bases until they get a kill; this is known as grenade spamming.
-Each Kit has a maximum of 5 grenades.

Their performance is exactly the same as in ''Battlefield: Bad Company'', only the player isn't obligated to switch to them, the simple press of the button will immediately cook and the release of the button will throw it.
-Each Kit has a maximum of 2 grenades (once all used, the amount "regenerates").

-==Battlefield Heroes==
-In ''Battlefield Heroes'', there are two varieties of the hand grenade. The grenade can only be used by the [[Soldier (Class)|Soldier Class]], either using it as an explosive weapon or through the ability "Grenade Spam". The "Grenade Spam" ability allows the user to throw multiple grenades at once. The [[National Army]]'s grenade is similar to a World War II-era German M24 Stielhandgranate while a [[Royal Army]] grenade is similar to the Allies most widely-used grenades; the Mk 2 and the Mills Bomb.

-In ''Battlefield: Bad Company 2'', the grenades are always given to the player, in both single and multiplayer.
-In singleplayer, the player starts off with four grenades as default, and can refill them from dead enemies, ammunition boxes or Supply Crates. The hand grenades are very useful against AI soldiers, as the AI infantry have low health and commonly don't react to grenades thrown near them, and can also be useful at creating easy fire zones or "rat-runs", which can be very useful in levels such as Sangre del Toro and Snowblind, where buildings are commonly present. However, against vehicles and other structures such as bridges and towers, the M2 Carl Gustav and C4 satchels are much more effective than the hand grenade.
-In Multiplayer, the player only spawns with a single grenade without equipping the [[Grenade Vest]] specialization, though this can be refilled through the use of [[Ammunition Box|ammunition boxes]]. Even though it can be thrown a considerable distance, throwing one accurately at long range requires practice. Grenades have a long fuse, so the movement of enemy players must be accounted for along with the surface the grenade will land on, because it may roll and bounce if it lands on a slanted surface. It can be held indefinitely and even canceled if the opportunity disappears.
-A single grenade can kill an enemy at full health, although the target needs to be in close proximity to the grenade for this to happen. However, the wide 2.9 metre blast radius of the grenade makes it a good assault weapon, injuring hostile players, eliminating soft pieces of cover and generally forcing enemy players to reposition, which can be useful in close-quarter combat, such as on [[White Pass]] or [[Isla Inocentes]]. When a player throws a grenade at an enemy, the enemy will audibly yell out a warning to team-mates in the area. This allows the player to identify the presence of enemies inside the target zone and potentially injure or kill some of them before breaching. Also, both sides will be alerted of thrown grenades with a small orange grenade shaped symbol with a flashing arrow under it when a grenade is thrown near their position.
-Grenades can work well against vehicles such as the [[Quad Bike|ATV]] or [[Personal Watercraft]], due to their lack of armour and low damage threshold, as well as even larger wheeled vehicles if the grenade lands directly beneath the vehicle. However, [[Tank]]s and [[APC]]s take little damage from grenades, so this method is not advisable unless they only have minimal health remaining.

-==[[Battlefield Play4Free]]==
-The '''Hand grenade''' returns in ''Battlefield Play4Free'' as a gadget available for every kit. It can be obtained spending [[File:25664.png|thumb|The Frag Grenade in Battlefield Play4Free.]]points in the [[Frag grenade (training)|Frag grenade]] [[training]] option and its explosion range is about 5 meters; higher levels of the Frag grenade training option increase the number of grenades carried and their damage against vehicles.
-In Battlefield Play4Free grenades are a great anti-tank weapon and their use is recommended if there are no [[Engineer|Engineers ]]or stationary AT's.
-Also, after buying all the four levels in the [[Frag grenade (training)|Frag grenade]] training option one can also purchase [[Dead Man's Trigger|Dead Man's Trigger ]]to drop a live grenade with a smaller blast radius, when the player dies.

The lethal effect of this grenade is limited against targets with modern body armor. |Battlelog description}}In [[Battlefield 3]], at least one '''Hand Grenade''' is available for all classes. It takes the form of a M67 Hand Grenade. Players have the option to immediately throw a grenade (like the "Quick Slash" for the [[Knife]]), equip it as a wielded weapon (like in older games), or assign both actions via [[key binding]]. There is a option to hold the grenade (in consoles) by pressing L2 (PS3), LB(XBOX) and then hold down the 'fire' button. This gives the player an advantage by having time to aim and throw the grenade.
-An orange dot indicator marks any active grenades including friendly grenades. At close range (where the player can be killed by the blast), the dot is also surrounded by an animated circle. Nearby players will automatically use voice responses when throwing or sighting a grenade.
-With the Frostbite 2 engine and Destruction 3.0, hand grenades, and all other weapons, cause more realistic damage. Grenades can kill players through certain kinds of walls due to blast pressure. This can be seen in the "Fault Line" gameplay.
-Grenades—and other explosives—take a lot longer to [[resupply]] than firearm ammunition, probably to cut down on grenade spam.
-Players can toss the grenade high enough to explode just as it returns to ground. This can be used to surprise pursuers if there is not a low ceiling or obstruction above.
-If a grenade thrower is killed just after pulling the pin and before throwing the grenade, the player can earn additional kills (or accidentally kill themselves) with the dropped live grenade.

-==Trivia==
-[[File:BFVWWII Type 97 grenades.PNG|thumb|Type 97 grenades in ''Battlefield Vietnam''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s WWII mod]]
-*In ''Battlefield Vietnam''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s WWII mod, the Imperial Japanese Army character models clearly show Type 97 grenades strapped on their belts, despite using Stielhandgranates.
 *With the [[Frostbite Engine]] and [[Destruction 2.0]], grenades can cause slight ground deformation and destruction to light environment.
-*In'' [[Battlefield 2]]'', the hand grenade is an American M67, no matter which team the player is on.
-*In ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company]]'', the grenade had the trademark smiley face pin attached to it, and, despite common statements, it can also be seen in ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]]''. If the player just watches the animation of throwing a hand grenade in ''Battlefield: Bad Company 2'' in slow-motion, they can just see the smiley face attached to the pin. It is still on the grenade's model, so the player can see it briefly when throwing it and when it is on the floor before detonating. It can even be seen on grenades during [[Operation Aurora]].
-*Grenades are infamous in the ''Battlefield'' games for players' tendency to [[grenade spam]] by constantly throwing grenades in the hopes of getting kills. This was a severe problem in ''Battlefield 2'' as players of all Kits (except the Anti-Tank Kit and Assault Kit) were given 4 grenades on spawn, thus allowing many players to grenade spam. It was worsened with the Support Kit as the ammo bags would replenish the used grenades, allowing for an infinite grenade effect.
-*EA had made a short-lived ad campaign for ''Battlefield: Bad Company 2'' called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2Qpui1hYBw "F.R.A.G.S" ("Friends ''Really'' Against Grenade Spam")], starring [[wikipedia:CC Sabathia|CC Sabathia]] and [[Sweetwater]] talking about how ineffective randomly thrown grenades are in ''Battlefield: Bad Company 2''.
-*It is possible to shoot a grenade, causing it to detonate early, allowing players to kill an enemy or disable an armed grenade in action. [Which games?]
-*Sprinting and/or jumping while throwing a grenade can help the player extend the throwing range, which will help them in killing targets from further away.
-*In [[Battlefield Play4Free]], it is possible to score a headshot if you have the Frag Grenade Specialization.
-*In many ''Battlefield'' titles, the player can pull the pin and hold the grenade for as long as needed to aim. The spoon will not be released—and thus the grenade's fuse will not arm—until the player throws the grenade, or is killed mid-throw and drops it.
-*On rare occasions Console players in Battlefield 3 can draw the M67 Grenade as if it was a primary or secondary weapon,similar to PC.
-*on battlefield 3 console players can hold the grenade as a primary like pc players by holding out your knife (hold r2 ps3 right trigger Xbox 360) then throwing the grenade and hitting the knife button again
