How to Craft and Use Grenades and Flares

Grenades Are Gun Table Recipes

All five grenades are made at the Gun Table: Grenade (Frag), Grenade (Smoke), Grenade (Stun), Grenade (EMP), and Grenade (Napalm). They are not made at a crafting table. Open the Gun Table, pick the grenade you want, and craft them in batches because each type is consumed quickly in a fight.

Pick the Right Grenade

Grenade (Frag) is your damage option against groups. Grenade (Smoke) breaks line of sight, useful when you need to reposition or retreat. Grenade (Stun) disables targets long enough to close distance or escape. Grenade (EMP) is for shutting down anything electrical or mechanical. Grenade (Napalm) leaves an area denial effect, so throw it to block a corridor or choke point rather than to kill directly. Carry at least two types so you are not stuck with only damage when you need cover.

Flares and the Flare Gun

The Flare Gun and every colored Flare are also Gun Table outputs. Flares come in Black, Blue, Brown, Cyan, Gray, Green, Light Blue, Light Gray, Lime, Magenta, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White, and Yellow. Load a Flare into the Flare Gun to mark a position, signal other players, or light an area. Because each color is a separate item, sort them in a labeled chest so you can grab the exact color you need without cycling through the whole stack.
