Highly Explosive Grenade... aka Spud Grenade

Background info: Throughout the first Terran Skrith war, Terran soldiers were content with using the pineapple to flush out enemies in urban environments or to just cause general mayhem in open fields of battle. With the ever changing phase of combat, it was known that the Skrith would develop tactics to evade the Terran grenades, so with a little bit of smarts, some Terran soldiers on a doomed out world plane filled there pineapple grenades with more a highly aggressive explosive like termite or something. So when the soldiers tossed them toward there enemy, the grenades blew apart, in a brilliant flash of orange and red, expanded into a huge explosion, what was left, was a huge crater and no Skrith or Krao to be found. The blast was so large, pieces of shrapnel from the blast took out an eye of one of the men who threw those grenades... Upon getting back to UTC controlled space, the soldiers got to work, and starting with the help from scientists, testing the newly found grenade. After weeks, they fine tuned this new grenade, calling it the HET6 'Spud' Grenade.

Primary Fire: It does like any other grenade, holds then fires it, distance is dependent on the Weapons Fire mode.

Damage: Its a explosion much larger than the pineapples, but with less power. its about 1.5 times larger than a pineapple explosion. Being very close to the core of the explosion will result in instant death because at the core its the same power as the pineapple. Though the farther you are away from the core of the explosion, the less damage you take. So being in the explosion but on the inner outside of it won't kill you, just damage you like 50 or maybe more.

Alt Fire: Like the alt fire of any other grenade.

Weapons Fire Mode: Auto, Long or Short... quite simple.

Reload: Will cook the grenade.

Err, pineapples already have a biiiig explosion radius I think. Much larger than most games anyway. I also feel that this should be in weapons suggestions.

Still, it could make for some interesting games. I think I'd prefer the idea if the grenade was bigger, so you couldn't throw it as far. Perhaps you carry less as well. It needs something to make it different from the pineapple, rather than just better.

I love the idea of this. I'd say shrapnel isn't much if a factor in the explosion, that's why the pinapple would do more damage typically. This instead would be used for large amounts of collateral damage, perhaps even used to destroy structures when there isn't enough time to use an FP9. I love it.


I agree with sgnl05, make it bigger and it travels less, harder to throw. Kinda makes it an interesting balance, bigger splash radius, but the grenade isn't going as far away from you, so you need to be extra careful with it.

Also, don't forget to make Special Function cook grenades too. ;)

I know the mention of shrapnel that can take out eyes was just emphasis and not one of its features, but it does sounds pretty cool.

We dont yet have a "nail grenade". But if this thing contained flak it would be well seperate from the pineapple. And quite a visual to behold too.

yes make it big, heavy and cant be thrown far. You cannot fit this sucker in the grenade launcher, so you gotta deliver it like real men do. That will make it a little more balanced and would offer a reason to use a normal pineapple.

Include lots of eye confectionary in that explosion also.

That could be possible. I'll think on these new suggestions and see which seems more appropriate for my vision of the HET6.

We have a frag grenade that has high damage in a small area, and we want an HE grenade with lower damage in a wider area.

This amuses me.

It was only an idea.

I believe this is what the grenade explosion may look like. We can see how the brilliant flash expands into an orange and red explosion[br][img width=800 height=600]../../files/public/1180667192_331_FT36731_awesome4.jpg[/img]
