Grenades

Grenades are a feature in Notoriety that require the gamepass to unlock. They can also be rewarded by Extra Lead aced, giving a 5% chance for a grenade to be in the player's inventory when picking up an ammo pack.

Use
Grenades have a sole use in loud, with no use in stealth. Additionally, if the player throws a grenade in stealth, civilians and guards who are near the grenade when it explodes will be alerted. Grenades can also kill civilians, making the player lose cash by cleaner costs.

The player can throw a grenade by pressing the "4" key (by default) in their keyboard. Once the player presses it, they will throw the grenade on whatever direction the player is facing. Once thrown, it will take approximately 3 seconds before the grenade explodes. Once the grenade explodes, most enemies caught within its explosion will be killed or moderately injured depending on the type of unit and range.

Conclusion
Overall, grenades are a useful throwable in loud. Grenades can get the player out on tight spots, and can be used for crowd control effectively due to its relatively high damage and blast radius. Additionally, it's also a liability as the blast can kill civilians within its radius.
