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.

Battlefield 1942[]

Main article: Frag Grenade/Battlefield 1942

In Battlefield 1942, Grenades are issued to all classes, except the 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.

Battlefield Vietnam[]

Main article: Frag Grenade/Vietnam

In Battlefield Vietnam, Grenades are almost always issued to the Assault Kit of any faction and an option for the Heavy Assault Kit of the NVA.

Battlefield 2[]

Main article: Frag Grenade/Battlefield 2

"The hand grenade, an effective fragmentation explosive, can be thrown long-distance or rolled for more accurate placement. It has a four second fuse."

— In-game description

In Battlefield 2, Hand Grenades are standard issue to each playable faction. They are found on all kits except the Assault (with some exceptions) and Anti-Tank. They do high damage in a small radius. Scoring a direct hit with the initial throw will kill the target instantly.

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat[]

In Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, hand grenades are only issued to the Assault and Support kits, the former of which also receives an underbarrel grenade launcher and AN-M8 Smoke Grenades.

The grenades are faction specific, but all function identically. The EU and USMC are issued the M61 Frag Grenade, the PLA is issued the Type 79 Frag Grenade, and the MEC receives the RGO-78 Frag Grenade.

Battlefield 2142[]

Main article: Frag Grenade/Battlefield 2142

"Hand-thrown, the FRG-1 is a modernized Fragmentation Grenade which yields a small but highly lethal explosive radius. By substituting the traditional TNT filler with the RDX chemical compound, PNC (polyethyl nitrate cyclobutane) the grenade offers a lighter grenade with enhanced effectiveness."

— In-game description.

In Battlefield 2142, two FRG-1s are available as the first Player Ability Unlock.

Battlefield: Bad Company[]

In Battlefield: Bad Company, HG-2s are given to the Assault, Specialist Kit and 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.

Battlefield Heroes[]

In Battlefield Heroes, there are two varieties of the hand grenade. The grenade can only be used by the 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 the Royal Army's grenade is similar to the Allies most widely used grenades; the Mk 2 and the Mills Bomb.

Gallery[]

Battlefield 1943[]

In Battlefield 1943, Hand Grenades are given to the Rifleman Kit and Infantry Kit for the IJN (Type 97) and the USMC (Mk.2).

The grenades performance is exactly the same as in Battlefield: Bad Company, only the player is not 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").

Gallery[]

Battlefield: Bad Company 2[]

Main article: Frag Grenade/Bad Company 2

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the grenades are always given to the player, in both single player and multiplayer.

Battlefield Play4Free[]

Main article: Frag Grenade/Play4Free

25664 — The Frag Grenade in *Battlefield Play4Free*.

The Hand Grenade is a gadget featured in Battlefield Play4Free for every kit. It can be obtained using points in the tier 1 equipment expertise Frag Grenade training option. 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.

Battlefield 3[]

Main article: Frag Grenade/Battlefield 3

"A common defensive hand grenade, the M67 has a 3.5 second fuse and can be thrown approximately 30 meters by the average soldier. The lethal effect of this grenade is limited against targets with modern body armor."

— Battlelog description

The M67 Grenade is a grenade featured in Battlefield 3. It is unlocked by default for all kits, and cannot be replaced.

Battlefield 4[]

Main article: Frag Grenade/Battlefield 4

"Standard timed fuze hand grenade with all around performance and balanced range and damage."

— Battlelog description

Hand grenades return in Battlefield 4 and function similarly to its predecessor Battlefield 3. The M67 Frag is the default for all players. However, new grenades types have been added including the M34 Incendiary, M84 Flashbang and hand-thrown Smoke Grenades. The M67 hand grenade deals the most damage at once of all of these and has a larger radius, but each kit only gets one M67 hand grenade.

Battlefield Hardline[]

"Standard timed fuze hand grenade with all around performance and balanced range and damage."

— In-Game Description

The M67 Grenade is a gadget featured in Battlefield Hardline. It is the default grenade issued to players and is one of two explosive grenades available, the other being the Molotov/Incendiary Device which have an initial blast. The M67 does the most direct damage of any of the grenades and has a large blast radius, capable of killing nearby players in one blast. However, unlike most of the other grenades, except for the M18 Smoke, only one M67 is given to each kit and they take a very long time to resupply from Ammunition Boxes.

Battlefield 1[]

Main article: Frag Grenade/Battlefield 1

This item has a Codex entry: Hand Grenades

"Standard timed fuze hand grenade with high damage."

— In-game description

The Frag Grenade returns in Battlefield 1 as one of many grenade types available, inflicting up to fatal damage against infantry and minor damage against vehicles. The full lineup resembles that of Battlefield 4, with the addition of two Anti-Tank Grenades and a Gas Grenade.

Battlefield V[]

Main article: Frag Grenade/Battlefield V

"Standard timed fuze hand grenade with high damage."

— In-game description

The Frag Grenade appears in Battlefield V, functioning in a same manner as in Battlefield 1. It is the default grenade for all infantry kits except for Support that cannot equip it. The appearance of the grenade changes depending on what faction a player is assigned to.

Battlefield 2042[]

Main article: Frag Grenade/Battlefield 2042

"Tactical anti-personel explosive with a delayed timer.

Minor damage to vehicles." — In-game description

The Frag Grenade is a gadget featured in Battlefield 2042. It is an available option for all Specialists.

Compared to other titles in the series, Frag Grenade appears to deal more damage to both infantry and vehicles in Battlefield 2042.

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.

-Hand grenades are 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 course. Hand grenades are not so effective against tanks, but they can cause a substantial amount of damage if they explode under the tanks.
-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.

 In ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]]'', the grenades are always given to the player, in both single player and multiplayer.
-In single player, 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 [[GRENADES|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 meter 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 armor 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.

 The '''Hand Grenade''' is a gadget featured in ''[[Battlefield Play4Free]]'' for every kit. It can be obtained using points in the tier 1 equipment expertise Frag Grenade [[training]] option. 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.
+{{Gadgets/BFP4F}}
-Unlike in some first-person shooters, frag grenades cannot be cooked and are instead thrown when a player uses them in a noticeable arc. With a throwing range of around 50 meters and a blast radius of about 5 meters, frag grenades pose a great threat to infantry and light vehicles such as the [[FAV]] or [[HMMWV]] and their occupants. Grenades can even destroy heavy armor if a player is lucky.
-[[File:Frag Grenade Training BFP4F.png|thumb|left|The Frag Grenade training icon.]]
-Early on, a player should invest at least one training point into frag grenades as they can be uses to assault flags or soften up infantry targets. However, they should not be used to charge in to battle with as an enemy will kill the thrower or dodge the explosion if they see the grenade coming, making them best for retreating or just before contact.
-They can also be used in conjunction with [[smoke grenade]]s to kill anyone unfortunate to be caught in the smoke when assaulting a control point. Further increases in rank increase the number of grenades a soldier carries per life and increases the damage done to vehicles by grenades. Also, after buying all the four levels in the [[Frag grenade (training)|Frag grenade]] training option one can also purchase [[Dead Man's Trigger]] to drop a live grenade with a smaller blast radius, when the player dies.
-===Ranks===
-#Allows a single frag grenade to be equipped and used.
-#Increases the amount of frag grenades carried to 2 and slightly increases their damage versus vehicles.
-#Increases the amount of frag grenades carried to 3 and moderately increases their damage versus vehicles.

-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.
-Grenades, as well as other explosives, take much longer to [[resupply]] from an [[Ammo Box]] than firearm ammunition.
-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.

+Hand grenades return in ''[[Battlefield 4]]'' and function similarly to its predecessor ''[[Battlefield 3]]''. The '''M67 Frag''' is the default for all players. However, new grenades types have been added including the [[M34 Incendiary]], [[M84 Flashbang]] and hand-thrown [[Smoke Grenade]]s. The M67 hand grenade deals the most damage at once of all of these and has a larger radius, but each kit only gets one M67 hand grenade.

Holding the grenade throw button will have the player character pull out their grenade and making it the player's active weapon. The player can then pull its pin and throw it by using the grenade throw button or the normal attack button.<!--Does this apply to any other games?-->

 The '''M67 Grenade''' is a gadget featured in ''[[Battlefield Hardline]]''. It is the default grenade issued to players and is one of two explosive grenades available, the other being the [[Incendiary Grenade|Molotov/Incendiary Device]] which have an initial blast. The M67 does the most direct damage of any of the grenades and has a large blast radius, capable of killing nearby players in one blast. However, unlike most of the other grenades, except for the [[Smoke Grenade|M18 Smoke]], only one M67 is given to each kit and they take a very long time to resupply from [[Ammunition Box]]es.

 {{Quote|Standard timed fuze hand grenade with high damage.|In-game description}}
 The '''Frag Grenade''' returns in ''[[Battlefield 1]]'' as one of many grenade types available, inflicting up to fatal damage against infantry and minor damage against vehicles. The full lineup resembles that of ''[[Battlefield 4]]'', with the addition of two [[Anti-Tank Grenade]]s and a [[Gas Grenade]].
+{{Gadgets/BF1}}
-Unlike all prior games and contrary to the in-game description, frag grenades explode shortly after settling on a horizontal surface, instead of on a time delay. This behavior is similar to the [[Gas Grenade|Gas]] and [[Incendiary Grenade]]s. These grenade variants are thus incapable of exploding in mid-air (e.g. thrown upward).
+==Battlefield V==
-All grenade types are more quickly prepared than in past titles, no longer going through a draw phase nor removal of any safeties. Grenades can be resupplied from crates and pouches, requiring the player to stand nearby for a period of time.

+The '''Frag Grenade''' appears in ''[[Battlefield V]]'', functioning in a same manner as in ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. It is the default grenade for all infantry kits except for Support that cannot equip it. The appearance of the grenade changes depending on what faction a player is assigned to.

-Allied Forces use the British [[wikipedia:Mills bomb|Mills bomb]], while Central Powers use the German [[wikipedia:Model 24 grenade|Model 24 Stielhandgranate]].

 ==Trivia==
-===General===
 *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.
+* 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.
-===Battlefield Vietnam===
-[[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 Stielhandgranaten.
+* 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.
-===Battlefield: Bad Company 2===
-*In ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]]'', the grenade retains the "smiley-face" pin from ''Bad Company'', though it can be difficult to see clearly. It can even be seen on grenades during [[Operation Aurora]].
+*With the [[Frostbite Engine]] and [[Destruction 2.0]], grenades can cause slight ground deformation and destruction to light environment.
-*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. <!--Fairly certain this is refering to BC2, will need to test-->
-===Battlefield Play4Free===
-*In ''[[Battlefield Play4Free]]'', it is possible to score a headshot if you have the Frag Grenade Specialization.
-===Battlefield 3===
-*On ''[[Battlefield 3]]'' for consoles, players can hold the grenade as a primary like on the PC by holding R2/Right Trigger to extract the knife and then pressing {{keypress|L2/Left Trigger}} and {{keypress|R2/Right Trigger}}. If done correctly, the character should hold the grenade similarly to how the knife is held.
-===Battlefield 1===
-*In the game's [[Community Test Environment]], the Allied Forces' Mills bomb was used as a placeholder for the Russian Empire to use before the Russian Standard 1912 grenade was implemented for testing the ''[[Battlefield 1: In the Name of the Tsar|In the Name of the Tsar]]'' expansion pack.
-*If a grenade lands next to the player character, the player character will audibly breathe in a panicked way.
-*The Model 24 Stielhandgranate (identified by the lack of a belt clip on the head) used by the Central Powers is anachronistic during World War I. It is possible that a World War I-era Stielhandgranate was intended to be portrayed, but the belt clip was not modeled due to developer oversight.
-*As part of the "Ammo 2.0" scheme, the ''[[Battlefield 1: They Shall Not Pass]]'' patch made grenades regenerate rather than being strictly supplied by ammo gadgets, and prevented them from being resupplied by Ammo Pouches. A later patch changed resupply back to dependency on pouches and crates.
-*The Stick Grenade makes a spinning sound when it is thrown (due to its shape), while the Frag Grenade does not make a spinning sound.<ref>https://youtu.be/JZJg7VMEc3w?t=4m11s</ref>
