Tactical Information

  • The G-16 Impact can be used to target specific weak spots on an enemy. For example, the Annihilator Tank and Shredder Tank turret vents can be destroyed with two grenades.
  • The nature of the G-16 Impact can hinder the destruction of Bug Holes, Automaton Fabricators, and Bulk Fabricators, as it cannot fall into them like other grenades; it requires Helldivers to throw the grenade as close to the bottom of the hole or vent as possible.
    • Grounded Warp Ships are an exception, as its open door is large enough for a Helldiver to easily toss the grenade in.
  • While the instant damage makes utilizing grenades for killing enemies easier, it does have its drawbacks.
    • As the grenade lacks a fuse, it is not possible to "cook" the grenade to have it airburst above enemies. However, this allows it to be thrown farther than other grenades with a time fuze.
    • Mobile enemies such as Hunters or Voteless can potentially block the grenade's throwing arc, potentially killing the Helldiver throwing it.
    • Helldivers that manage to trip while holding the grenade will likely not survive the ensuing explosion at their feet.
