Grenade

For the grenade that produces smoke, see Smoke Grenade.

The Grenade is an explosive item in Jailbreak. It was added alongside the Rocket Launcher and the Turrets on top of the SWAT Van and Celestial in the Weapons/Items Update of August 14, 2018.

Overview

The Grenade can be purchased for 500 in-game cash each at the Rising City Gun Shop, Crater City Gun Shop, Mountainside Town Gun Shop, Prison Gun Shop and the Military Base War Room or as one of the rewards from giving the Rusty NPC a donut. To use the grenade, equip the grenade from your inventory and left-click. Your arm should be in throwing position, and when released, it will be thrown. Beware, holding the grenade in throwing position for too long will result in it exploding, throwing frags, damaging the user and any other nearby players. When thrown, it will drop a small pin onto the ground, which will despawn shortly after. Like rockets from the Rocket Launcher, the number of Grenades left will save when players are killed, arrested, or leave the game.

Disarming

Disarming was supposed to be a part of the grenade's debut, but since the developers promised that the update would be released on Tuesday, August 14, 2018; this feature was scrapped. Disarming may be added in a future update.

Strategy

This weapon is useful for dealing with hordes on both teams.

As a police officer, it can be useful for dealing quite a lot of damage to a group of criminals, which can make arresting them easier. It can also be thrown inside the Bank vault, damaging everyone inside. However, the position where the Grenade will end up cannot be accurately predicted on the move. Using the Smoke Grenade can also be useful in busting Bank robberies.

For criminals, it can be a useful tool to making killing multiple police officers chasing you. It can deal a certain amount of damage, then you can use a weapon of your choice to finish them off.

Trivia

• The Grenade could be based on the frag grenade from WW2.
  • It could also be loosely based on a Russian F1 Grenade prototype.
• Even though you can hear a pin being pulled, there is no pin on the model. There is also no pulling animation for the pin.
• Disarming was originally planned for the grenades, but due to the little amount of time the developers had, this wasn't released.
• As of now, this is the second explosive in Jailbreak, the rockets from the Rocket Launcher being first, the Missiles and Drop-Bombs being third, and C4 being the fourth.
• Along with missiles, drop bombs, and C4, this is one of the only weapons that can damage the player using it.
• The Grenade used to cost 15,000 for a pack of 5 but was changed to 10,000 in-game due to complaints of it being too expensive.
  • As of the November Update, players now have to pay 500 per grenade.
• In the Balance Update, the grenades were glitched, as they would not explode and put the player's character in a weird position.
  • This was patched a month later in the Town Revamp Update.
