Tactical Information

  • The Urchin can be imagined like a cross between the G-23 Stun and the G-123 Thermite grenade. Rather than explode and deal damage, it sticks to enemies and periodically emits 4 pulses in a small area.
  • The small explosion radius on the grenade is compensated by its long stun effect, lasting about 13.7 seconds.
    • Helldivers can take advantage of this by exploiting an enemy's weak spots or using offensive Stratagems.
    • Despite the small explosion radius, it is still possible to stun multiple enemy's in tight corners.
  • As this grenade deals no damage, it cannot destroy structures such as Bug Holes or Automaton Fabricators.
  • Unlike other grenades, the Urchin fuse's time begins after the grenade is thrown.
    • This gives to Helldivers enough time to aim at the enemy without the risk of detonating the grenade in their hands.
  • If Helldivers are caught in the range of a Urchin grenade blast, their stamina will be immediately depleted. The SH-32 Shield Generator Pack can negate this effect for as long as it is active.
