Grenades are powerful explosive devices that can be used to deal significant damage to enemies in Fallout 4. They come in a variety of types, each with its own unique effects. Frag grenades are the most common type, and they explode on impact, damaging anything within a small radius. Pulse grenades emit a pulse of energy that damages enemies within a larger radius, and they are especially effective against robots. EMP grenades disable electronics within a small radius, making them useful for disabling turrets and other automated defenses. Nuka grenades are a unique type of grenade that explodes into a cloud of radioactive gas, damaging anything within a large radius.
Grenades can be thrown by pressing the “G” key on your keyboard or the “Y” button on your controller. When you throw a grenade, it will travel in an arc, so you need to aim it carefully. You can also hold down the “G” key or the “Y” button to cook the grenade, which will reduce the amount of time it takes to explode. This can be useful for getting the grenade to explode at the right moment, such as when an enemy is about to attack you.
