Gameplay Tips
- The Incendiary Grenades' fire burns similarly to that of the Incendiary Bombs stratagem, but covers a smaller, circular area.
- Many enemies will not walk through the fire and will try to find a path around it, making this useful for area denial. If they can't see a path, they'll usually hang back until the fire burns itself out. However, heavier foes aren't particularly intimidated by the flames and will march or drive right through.
- Despite the smaller area, the incendiary effect is still large enough to block narrow paths. Throwing both grenades can be used to create a small wall, useful even in an open area.
- Enemy patrols can still spot you through the fire.
- Even a single grenade can be successfully used to destroy shielded Illuminate infantry units, such as the Strider. While the shield would absorb the single blast of a standard grenade, the fire deals damage in several "hits", able to deshield the target before setting it on fire.
- This does, however, rely on the target being in the middle of the blast-radius. If the target is too far, the fire will be unable to whittle down the target's shield before it leaves the area of effect.
- Because Incendiary Grenades deploy faster than Incendiary Bombs, they can be used as a backup anti-armour weapon. However, even when using both Incendiaries, the damage is too low to kill an undamaged Bug Tank.
- Even Cyborg Warlords can be set on fire dealing damage over time.
- It is recommended to keep the Tank within the fire to maximize damage.
- The napalm-effect is one of the few things that can damage closed Illuminate Obelisks
- While Cyborg IFVs receive no damaging effects from fire (Incendiary Grenades or otherwise), it can be used to impair their movement.
Notes
- Grenade Perks now display correct icons of current grenades when chosen during the mission, this was added in Patch 7.01.
