Grenade

Grenades are a Throwable Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were added in Season 0.

Functionality
Grenades are thrown by the player using the arc provided. Once thrown, the grenade starts a three second timer. After the three seconds is up, the grenade will explode, dealing damage in a small radius around where it stopped moving / detonated.

Grenade explosions will not set off other grenades in the area prematurely, and grenades cannot be 'cooked' by holding on to them before throwing.

If a grenade is thrown into water, it will remain stationary until it explodes.

Obtained
Grenades can be obtained from a variety of places. They are found as floor loot, in chests and in supply drops. They drop in stacks of 3.

Stats
Grenades deal 100 damage.

Strategy Guide

 * if you place on marker on the enemy go to the top of the marker and then go down you can almost always get a hit
 * Grenades are very good for attacking a player who is repeatedly building, as lobbing several grenades at their structure will not only weaken it / destroy it, but it has the potential to eliminate the player afterwards.
 * Understanding how far a grenade will go after it has been thrown before detonating allows a player to effectively control exactly where a grenade will explode, rather than dealing with the potential bounces and rolling of a thrown grenade.
