The Frag Grenade has a 5-second timer and is considered great. It cannot be unequipped once selected. It takes about 1.5 seconds to arm, leaving you with 5 seconds to throw it after arming. Damage is 300/75/15 by Direct Impact, with a range of 6.5 meters/6.51 meters/Direct Impact. A Martyrdom grenade has a 2.5-second timer. The crosshairs blink red for every second a grenade is cooked.

Stun Grenade

Available at Level 4, the Stun Grenade has a 1-second timer after impact and is considered great. It slows a target's movement significantly. Damage is 1/40 by Direct Impact, with a range of 13 meters/Direct Impact. Do not stun yourself.

Flashbang

Available at Level 4, the Flashbang has a 1-second timer after impact and is considered good. It emits a bright light and sound burst, temporarily blinding and deafening targets. Damage is 15 by Direct Impact, with a range of 18 meters. You can flash yourself, and it only works if someone sees it.

M18A1 Claymore

Available at Level 23, the M18A1 Claymore is a motion-sensing tripmine and is considered great. It functions by detecting movement across beams it emits. Damage is 200/50, with a range of 6.5 meters/6.51 meters. There is a .83 second delay between trigger and explosion. Ensure the lasers point towards the intended direction of enemy entry.

C4

The C4 is a remotely-operated explosive considered good. It can be used to destroy targets or lay booby traps. It sticks to surfaces like cars, walls, floors, and ceilings. Damage is 200/50, with a range of 6.5 meters/6.51 meters. There is a .83 second delay between triggering and explosion. You can trigger the C4 by double-tapping the Action Button.

Grenade Launcher

The Undermounted Grenade Launcher (UGL) is an attachment for Assault Rifles, such as the M203 (for most Assault Rifles) and the GP-25 (for the AK-47). It fires 40 mm grenades. It has a small area of unavoidable damage and a larger area of splash damage. Damage is 155/25/135 Direct Impact, with a range of 3 meters/9 meters. The grenade needs to travel about 9 meters to arm; otherwise, it results in Direct Impact. You can kill yourself via ricochet Direct Impact or by getting caught in the explosion.

RPG-7

The RPG-7 is a shoulder-mounted anti-armor weapon considered good. It has large splash damage and extremely high Direct Impact damage, making it effective against helicopters. Damage is 160/30/1000 Direct Impact. The range is 6.5 meters/6.51 meters/Direct Impact. It has an instant explosion on impact with anything. Do not use this weapon at close range to avoid self-inflicted explosions.
