Notes

• The Grenade can be found in level 35 purple beacon drops.
• The Grenade's damage and radius makes it particularly useful against grouped up enemies such as Spiders, Titanoboas, and Pulmonoscorpius.
• The Grenade can't be used underwater, though it's possible to get them into the water if thrown into it.
• Cosmetically, the player will occasionally toss the grenade up a small bit if the player idles for long enough while holding it.
