Wikipedia has an article on: Grenades
Standard fragmentation grenade. Pull pin, throw, then find cover. Ideal for eliminating clustered assailants.
Grand Theft Auto V description on Ammu-Nation and Social Club.

Grenades are throwable devices which have been featured in every Grand Theft Auto game since Grand Theft Auto 2.

Design[]

3D Universe[]

Between Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, grenades shared the same form of a small fragmentation grenade, bearing a striking resemblance to the M67 grenade.

Depending on the game, each grenade has certain design features. The GTA III rendition had a green scheme with a rugged "pineapple" pattern; the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories rendition has a black color; and the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories has a brownish color with yellow markings on it.

Grand Theft Auto IV[]

The Grenade in Grand Theft Auto IV and its episodes has a new appearance, closely based on the M61 grenade, a variant of the M26A1 with an extra safety (called the "jungle clip") attached to the safety lever.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars[]

Army issue frag grenade. Pull the pin and throw, then get your ass under cover! Remember to wait for the BANG before looking up.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars description.

The Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars rendition appears to have a combined design between the GTA III iteration and the GTA IV one.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]

In Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, the grenade re-adopts the design featured in GTA IV, but with a much cleaner appearance and featuring markings, in a similar way to some M61 grenades (even featuring a "M61" marking on it).

Performance[]

3D Universe[]

Grenades are highly destructive to both people and objects, including vehicles. Conventional vehicles can be destroyed with a single grenade, and people will almost always be killed if within the blast radius. Grenades are ideal for taking out enemies hiding behind cover, and for scattering tight-knit groups of foes.

Grenades can, of course, be just as dangerous to the player as to enemies, and must be deployed carefully to avoid the grenade bouncing back to the player.

Grand Theft Auto IV[]

In Grand Theft Auto IV, the player can drop a live grenade to the ground, but must run for cover before it detonates. One can also 'cook' a grenade (hold onto it while it counts down) for a short time before throwing it. It begins beeping if it is held for too long, and if not thrown, will explode in the player's hands, causing Niko/Johnny/Luis to get wasted. In Grand Theft Auto IV, grenades are in fact much more lethal to the player than to enemies -- unless a grenade explodes very close to an enemy, they will likely survive, despite being thrown by the explosion.

Grenades can be dropped while driving, and are more effective for in-car use than Molotov Cocktails, due to their far superior radius of effect, however the player must take care to remain on the move while using grenades — the player's own car can easily be caught in the explosion if it does not move on immediately. A popular multiplayer tactic is to cook a grenade, then walk up to a group of unsuspecting players and let it detonate; this tactic, called Martyrdom, is useful for killing a large group at the expense of the perpetrator's own life. This is only advised in Free Mode.

The enemies will run away from a grenade that is about to explode, making it more challenging for the player against the enemies in open.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars[]

In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the player can use the touch screen to throw Grenades at a distance in any direction. These can destroy a vehicle instantly and can kill enemies that are close to its blast radius.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]

In Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, grenades function the same way as in GTA IV, the only difference being that the grenade is more effective on enemies and has a much quieter "beeping noise" so overcooking a grenade is far more lethal than before.

Again, enemies can detect the oncoming grenades and are likely to move for their safety, although, because of the sensitivity of NPCs compared to GTA IV, they will be likely stunned or wounded by the blast radius.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • In 3D Universe games (excluding GTA San Andreas), if the player throws a grenade in the water, the grenade will not show an explosion or waves created by explosion's vibrations, but the explosion's sound can still be heard. Also, if the player throws a grenade very high up in the air, the grenade again will not show an explosion (only seen in GTA Vice City and GTA Liberty City Stories).
  • In 3D Universe games, the player can take more than one direct grenade blast before dying. In HD universe games however, one direct grenade blast will kill the player.

3D Universe[]

  • In GTA San Andreas, if a grenade direct hits any victim, it will cause the target to fall to the ground. However, it's possible to kill a target with a direct hit of a grenade.
  • In GTA Liberty City Stories there is a (possibly) glitch involving the Grenade. Go to Callahan Point (near the road leading to some jettys). Sometimes there are a lot of cars that cross the road. Take a grenade and attempt to blow every vehicle in your sight, don't move around, just stay on Callahan Point. Every new car spawned and driving on the road must blow up. After some minutes, you will see some cars driving angrily onto you. The drivers are the ones you previously killed during the explosions, but will be driving different vehicles. They will attempt to ram and hit you to death.

HD Universe[]

  • In GTA IV, it is possible to throw back grenades that have been thrown at the player. This can be done by picking up the grenade like any other throwable object.
  • In the TBOGT files, there is an unused model of the grenade that looked taller and slimmer, with a safety lever of a grey color instead of a brownish one. It was possibly an alternative of the Grenade that was scrapped.
  • In GTA Chinatown Wars, the grenade impact and explosion sounds originate from the original Max Payne game.
  • In GTA V, Chop will try to fetch grenades if thrown in place of a Ball.
  • On the Social Club image, the markings on the grenade reads "M61", which is a type of grenade used by the United States Army during the Vietnam War. In-game however, the markings read "M69A1", which is closer to the designation of the Grenade Launcher in The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
    • The "M69A1" might be also a reference to the 69.
