F.E.A.R. Hints

N6A3 Fragmentation Grenade

  • Max Carried: 5
    First Found: Interval 02

    These are fairly typical explosive grenades that blow up a short time after being thrown, with the added capability of instantly exploding if they hit an enemy. You should, of course, lob them at groups of enemies that aren't right next to you, especially if they're around a corner or behind cover and are waiting to shoot you the instant you peek around at them. Most enemies are trained to recognize grenades and take cover from them, so try to throw your grenades so they'll explode as soon as they come near the enemy.
